NANNY

Today was my first day as full time “nanny.” My little Charge was still abed when I arrived, and stayed that way for a quiet 45 minutes. The day passed fairly quickly I thought, we watched tv, made cupcakes, ate lunch, and some of the neighborhood girls came over to share the sandbox.

I have observed that many of the stay at home mothers would greatly benefit from a hobby or something productive to occupy their time. Very lonely people eager to share about their recent tonsillectomies.

We sort of lost the cat in the afternoon – else, nobody knew where she had gone to. Searching every nook and cranny and even rattling the kitty treat jar did not produce poor Martha. In all probability, she’s just hiding and sleeping, which I tried to convince them of so they didn’t give her up for dead.

It was a hot and humid day. I will definitely have to think of creative things we can make for lunch – a perfect opportunity to practice cooking skills. If Little Charge doesn’t like potatoes, she will by the time school starts again… :-D

Have you ever tried crab nachos? These are actually quite delicious. Maybe Little Charge likes crab nachos?
