Basically, I now lead a completely different life than when I last wrote, but we'll get to that. I'm going to backtrack like mad, and tell you some stories about what has been happening in the last 3 weeks. It's pretty crazy stuff, so please hold on tight.
Let's start with the last day of my nanny job. I knew it was coming, but it was still bittersweet. Saying goodbye is always hard for me, can I get a witness? Here's some snippets into the way my last week or so went.
Monday: "Nolan, I need to tell you something. Starting next week, I'm not going to be around much. Mommy will be done with work for the summer, so she'll get to be home with you all the time, and you guys will have so much fun together! But that means I won't be around much, since mommy will be here."
Nolan: "But why? I think you should stay".
Me: Tiny fissures appear in my heart. So. Sweet.
Tuesday afternoon, while doing something completely unrelated: "Hey Kaitlyn, I have an idea!"
Me: "What's your idea?"
Nolan: "I think you should stay with me and mommy and daddy and Colby, and we can all watch Geotrax! (movie)."
Me: Fissures becoming larger. Oy.
Thursday, my last day together: We spent the whole day doing fun things. We made puppets, went to the park, and then ended at Nolan's favorite place in the world, a Chuck E. Cheese-like indoor amusement park and arcade. This pretty much sums it all up:

Anyway, it was just a really hard day, and I do miss the boys and the family. But at the same time it was such a relief to be done and begin to look toward the next stage in life, whatever that may be.
Well, how interesting that you brought that up, because I happened to have my first job interview the very day after my nanny job ended. Would you like to know how that went? Because I would like to tell you. More on that later my friends. (Cliffhanger whaaaaat??)
