Spoiled


I can see now that I've been spoiled for the past few weeks.  We've had Rob's niece Mesa living with us as a nanny.  My life has almost no stress anymore, just the bakery stuff now.  I don't have to put all the kids in the car to drop Riley off at school, (he started Monday) I don't even have to take the kids to the store if I don't want to.  I've even had a little reprieve from changing 98% of the diapers.  Mesa has also been AWESOME at keeping the house clean.  She went camping with her family this past weekend and by Saturday afternoon I was standing in my kitchen thinking 'Where did all these dishes come from?'  She has been an absolute life saver and will definitely be missed.  Her last day here is on Thursday and Jack is going to cry when she goes.  When ever she leaves to go to the store or something he just stands there with his arms out beckoning to the recently closed door saying 'Sissy?' (I know it doesn't sound anything like Mesa, but regardless, that is her name.)  He gets very worried about her absence.  I'm going to get very worried about my dishes, but even more importantly, she is awesome with the kids.  So Mesa, you are welcome anytime.

You deserve a nanny! How nice to have such a great one, even if for only a short while. Good luck with the bakery work!
