Legos and Floaties

Well, this week has been sooo exhausting yet refreshing at the same time. How is that possible?


I've finally gotten adjusted back into a routine at home. A routine that involves waking up by 8 every morning and falling asleep before 11 (even on the weekends). Idk why, but I've become a morning person thats for sure! I'm still in the process of unpacking (from moving home) and repacking to move back to Athens in August. Our basement has been a collection of furniture for the past 6 months and now, even more has been added to it since I moved back home for the summer. As my mom puts it, it looks like a bomb went off. And its even more of a headache because I like being really organized.


I started babysitting on Tuesday, which has been so great! They are the cutest kids, but exhausting! I forgot how much I like playing with legos. No joke, I sit around their nifty lego table for a solid 2 hours every day either playing legos with them or playing while I watch them play something else. I will probably always be remembered as the babysitter that played with legos over there. One morning, I took them to the pool for a couple hours. They are 1 and 4 years old so I definitely had to keep a watchful eye on one while the other was on my hip the entire time. Good thing they have floaties. And I love it that they love the water and they aren't afraid of it (I'm not being sarcastic, I really love it when kids love the water)! Their parents asked if I could teach the 4 year old how to swim when I go down there, but I don't know how they expect me to do that with the 1 year old on me the WHOLE time. Plus, I tried teaching a neighbor how to swim once. I can teach someone how to improve their strokes, just not how to swim. Its way different and harder than it looks. O, and there is a lifeguard at their pool- a lifeguard that I realized is probably 4 years younger than me. When did the lifeguards start getting younger, better yet 4 years younger, than me?


It's almost 11 on a Friday night and I'm about to fall asleep. I've become an old lady in the past week in a half!
