Sometimes I imagine myself in a story and every once in a while, I feel as if I'm waiting for something in my life to shift and change everything... but those times when I get that feeling, its usually created by myself only and nothing eventful follows.
And I have to tell you that when I woke up this morning, things felt different, but it was definitely not the feeling of a great shift. And when Bill and Roni asked to talk to me, this is really the last thing I expected us to talk about.
I have a plane ticket in my name for January 5th... and the new Nanny is coming. Its not that they are upset with me or anything (which they reiterated multiple times during our conversation). Its just that I'm not quite what they wanted for Chris and Ethan.
I was resistant at first, wanting to take their concerns and work on improving, but they insistsed that the problem is that what they want from a Nanny is not something that comes naturally to me... which is true. I love little kids, but it is easier for me to engage with older kids. I guess I've never really pinpointed it in that way because I love being around kids of all ages.
Anyway, so when I started thinking logistics I realized that I want to stay in Florida. I have friends here and I know I'll just get into a rut if I go home. So now I'm about the tasks of talking to a friend I could live with, finding a job, figuring out what to do about a car, writing by application essay (which by the way needs to be post-marked on Jan 5th as well), and packing...
So ya... it feels like God is saying, "HAPPY NEW YEAR AND BY THE WAY I'M FLIPPING YOUR WORLD OVER BECAUSE IT WILL BE BETTER THIS WAY!" What a trip!

Wow. This is news.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...
Holy. Crap.
sorry i just lost you...this is so weird! i'm glad that you are feeling peace about it...but don't forget my potential offer to drive with you...or live with me, forever!!! okay, sorry about the phone cutting out, i'll talk to you later, love em
I just realized that if they had told you sooner, you could have been moving in with me in Whittier...if you wanted to come back to SoCal. Dang.
Wow...you're handling this very well--better than I would have anyway. But I'm confused...why didn't they call you in San Jose and tell you over the phone so you could've had a few extra days with your parents? Maybe they had a reason, but for the moment I am uninformed and thinking ill of them........"thinking ill of them" hehe, that sounds so Jane Austen. Update with details about job/living plans as soon as you can, okay? Good luck with everything, Miguelito!
mainly because it would have been pointless to go through the hastle of changing my flight when I would have to come back to Florida and get my stuff anyway... plus, they figured I'd go home instead of stay in Florida, so I'd see my parents plenty.
