It's an especially dramatic day today in the land of nannydom. :) I'm so glad the peace of God rules in my heart when I make all my requests (like "please give me the wisdom and patience to deal with Emma and Julia today) to Him with thanksgiving. Right now it's Sesame Street time. Oscar is singing. I think Oscar, Grover and Cookie Monster are my favorite. Sad that my goats won't want to watch Sesame Street...

I was in a slight funk a few days ago...it was my bday and I got a bunch of general "happy birthday" remarks, but nothing really great happened. (This is not a "woe is me...no one made me feel like a princess or showered me with gifts today" story, I promise) It made me start to think about the relationships that I truly invested in over the years and how most of those people ended up leaving me and not always in the most desirable ways. I know in my heart that the Word that I shared with them all was profitable and so I must have made some kind of impact...but there was still this feeling of not really being memorable or really needed.But then!! (You knew that phrase was coming) Yesterday I got a myspace message from a girl I was friends with in junior and high school and I got a letter from a girl I was best friends with during all that time too. (Like best friends before Megan and I became best friends). Both of them said the basic same thing and while I won't bore anyone with the details, it was very refreshing. Amazing how God comforts us in so many ways. And it reminded me how important it is to live with the love of God guiding all your actions.

In other news: I love self defense class. Monday we learned how to fight if someone pushes us down to our knees and then worked on head locks more. Watch out: I'm dangerous now. :)

And now, a romantic update: I'm engaged.

Ok, not really, but it's fun to think so. Honestly, there was someone I was interested in, but I found out yesterday he's completely smitten with someone else. It's nice to be able to get over something before it really happens.

Ok Julia's crying...must go be super nanny. More later.
