The Nanny Diaries–Day 3, Final Thoughts
[Posted by Grandmama]
Well…it is now 7:55pm. D&M are at meetings and I just finished putting Wilson to bed….As you know by now, he loves elephants and takes a family of 4 plastic ones with him everywhere….literally. Today he had on an elephant t-shirt so when I took it off for his pjs he had a hissy fit….and retreived his t-shirt from the laundry. So I thought “what the heck” and went ahead and put the shirt back on him but over his pjs. He’s a happy little boy now..albeit with a dirty shirt over his clean pjs.
We went to the mall today after Abby came home from school. We had ice cream at Baskin Robbins and then found a family restroom….I had seen signs for those before but never had a legit reason to enter one. Since both the kids had ice cream hands and faces I thought I’d finally found my “official” reason. Oh my!! It was wonderful. Who knew those family restrooms are like first class on an airplane…there is that much difference. So I now advise everyone to just steal some random child and go in one of these…fabulous.
Abby’s kdgn. teacher (Ms. Nelson) is about my age and very friendly. I must have looked pretty haggard the first two days cause today she asked if I was getting used to being the nanny yet. I assured her it was getting better every day. She smiled that special kdgn. teacher smile and I suddenly felt 5 years old again and VERY proud of myself. Thank you Ms. Nelson!!!
Tomorrow John will pick me up at the Spokane airport at 1:00pm. He promised to take me to lunch. And while I am looking forward to seeing him and going home……still….I wonder how in the world the younger Manis family will survive without me. After all..Ms. Nelson DID smile at me which means I’m doing the right thing..doesn’t it? Ha!!
More entries to come in next week’s installment of the never ending Nanny Diaries.

Right now Grandmama has gone home and left Oompa to deal with the kids. Hopefully he’ll post his own adventures. But even if he doesn’t, Grandmama promised to post more when she comes back next week.
