Awkward Introductions

This being my frist poorly written post, I thought I would give a brief intro. My name is E and I am an ex-nanny. I have been clean and sober from raising other people's children for 10 months now, and it has been a hard road adjusting to life in an office. This change in my life has been fun, exciting and sometimes a bit difficult to adjust to. For example, My wardrobe has been infested with "dry-clean only" slacks. Hell, I have slacks. My vocabulary is appropriately littered (often times more so when I indulge in libations) with former no-no words, such as FUCK, ASS, WHORE and BITCH, and I use them with out guilt. When talking with other people, and I am feeling sad, I sound sad. When I am angry, I sound angry. My vocal pitch dial is no longer stuck permanently on obscenely happy. However, this change has come with its con's, one of the most important being that I miss those two little creatures more than I have ever missed anyone before. I miss little girl snuggles, bringing home artwork that only the most skilled 3 yr old eye could tell was an elephant, and I love watching those creatures change from 6 week old infants who make your life miserable for 12 hours a day to a 4 yr old that is a hop skip and a jump away from being 5 who casually mentions she really hopes her parents get her an iPod for her birthday...........or a package of ponies. Thankfully though, the parents of the lil ladies do enjoy to travel frequently sans their biological creatures, which means once a month I am reminded how lucky I am my period came the husband and I get to babysit!! My husband and I get to spend a wonderful weekend negotiating nap time, explaining why the teeth marks sister B left on sister A are not okay, and finding the OTHER shoe. We get the girls all to ourselves for two whole days, and this month was no exception. This weekend, at an ungodly hour saturday morning, I was yet again reminded why I miss those children. Sister B awoke me at 5:45AM to tell me "MY BUTT IS EATING MY UNDERWEAR!! THERE IS GOING TO BE NONE LEFT" That is right child. Welcome to the world of wedgies. How can you be upset when you wake up to that?
