Sorry I haven’t been on here in a little while. A circuit went out in our computer room and so we didn’t have a working computer for like 2 days.
GUESS WHAT. I HAVE A JOB! Well sort of. It’s temporary. I’m babysitting for my friend Julie while she’s out of town for 2 weeks. It’s like the best babysitting job I’ve ever had. I’m watching this girl named Lydia. She’s 11 and so you might be wondering why I’m watching her but her mom and dad are out of the house from 7:30 in the morning till 3:00 in the afternoon. So I’m staying at her house while they’re gone. I have to get up at 6:30 in the morning which is the only bad part cause my dad takes me to her house and we have to leave by 7:15. But it’s ok cause when I get there Lydia isn’t up yet so I can go to sleep on they’re couch. Which I might add is very comfortable. Then she will wake up at like 10:00 or 11:00 and well just hang out. She’s actually very mature for her age. So we have fun. We watch TV, play video games, get on the comp., and walk around her neighborhood. So I was really excited when I realized I could use they’re comp but when I got on it said it couldn’t find HSB! I was so upset but I got over it. So today we went walking to a little hole in the wall grocery store and got Jolly ranchers, bottled water(which was desperately needed after the walk there), and we each got a slushy(sp). By the time we got home me feet were KILLING ME. Well actually I wanted to kill my feet but ya know. Lydia said it was a short walk. (Advice 101: Never trust an 11 yr old’s judgment on distance) I would estimate it was a little under 2 miles round trip. Not so bad IF YOUR WEARING THE RIGHT SHOES!!!!! Needless to say I was in flip-flops not to mention that the straps dig into the side of my foot every time my foot comes down. SO…..I guess what I’m saying is could you please pray for my blistered, aching, soar, oh and did I mention blistered feet. Lets just say it hurts to walk. But over all it was a fun day. I got to watch cable TV which I don’t have and I got to try a really cool popsicle. lol
Tomorrow I have a day off. Thank God!!!!!! I can let my feet rest. Then I go back on Thursday. Oh did I mention the pay isn’t that bad like at all. Well my little sister is begging me to take her to bed and read some of a book we’re reading. It’s past my bed time anyway. lol
