muffinsky

today is buckaroo's birthday and he turns 7. i love this child and his brother so very much. i think its the closest thing i could have to my own children without actually giving birth. being their nanny for the past two years has truly been the best of times.....and the worst of times. i have learned so many lessons concerning what to do, or in some cases to NOT do when it comes to raising children. i've compiled a list for you (more to add later). the catalyst for this list was the fact that i had to wrap the following gifts (no boxes were available to assist me).
*lacrosse stick
*baseball bat
*electronic keyboard (in the box thank god)
*golf club
LESSON #1 = unless you have ebola, you get your ass out of bed and sit at the breakfast table with your child on their birthday. you also attend the birthday dinner unless dr. soandso won't let you out of the plastic bubble long enough to be able to do so.
LESSON #2 = don't make the nanny wrap the presents that you picked out for the child's birthday (especially when the nanny is the most anal retentive gift wrapper in 207 and there is nothing for her to wrap with except leftover christmas paper and GASP........MASKING TAPE) it was a horrifying experience.
LESSON #3 = just do the damn laundry

highlight of the day = listening to the muffin in the backseat of my car sing "who can take the thunrise, thprinkle it wis dew" and then tell me , "i juth love you lo"
