Hopefully, Santa will bring you everything you want this year!

Cute Overload

XOXO

Umm…yay! A lovely amount of money slipped in my Christmas card from the family I work for, could not be more appreciated. My gifts to them went over great. My little guy was so excited about his new book and baby girl, promptly, tried to eat hers. Hopefully, little guy’s cold won’t be another gift he gives me!

I’m really tired. This week has kicked my ass so far. Tomorrow I have a million things to do and then Friday is the boyfriend’s birthday!

The kids are taking a nap. I can’t wait until I get to go home and can take one of my own. I’m exhausted!

A couple years ago, my friend stumbled upon this youtube of this weather guy that is, like, insane and incredibly amazing. The beginning part is really all that matters though, we would literally loop it over and over. It was not anything unusual to randomly hear people shouting out ‘WHO WROTE IT?!’ out of nowhere when hanging out with us. Probably one of those you had to be there kind of things and no one else will find it funny, but it cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I bring you, the weatherman:

More like rainsnowsleetslush go away. It’s another gloomy day here in Chicago. I was trapped in my house last night. My driveway was a sheet of ice, there was no way I would have made it out without sliding into my house or something equally as bad.

I’m really hoping to get all my Christmas shopping done soon. I pretty much know what I am getting everyone so it should be pretty easy. There is only one person who I am unsure of, but I know I’ll figure it out! My methods of shopping are kind of ridiculous. It’s more of a “one for you, one for me” kind of thing, because I ALWAYS seem to find something that I just needwantomgjusthavetohave. I can safely say, I have yet to buy myself something! I’m waiting until after I get my presents done and then I can do shopping for Las Vegas.

Speaking of Las Vegas, I was talking to my sister and said what if I win a bunch of money? How awesome would that be? Totally won’t happen, because I doubt I will be hitting the gambling hard! It’s just fun to imagine what you would do if you won a couple grand or something. I was like hmmm, Miu Miu bag ($1200), Louis Vuitton speedy ($600), Marc Jacobs bag ($500) and then taking everyone out on me!

Plain silliness, I tell you.

That’s exactly what happens when you send a girl with expensive taste and a handbag fetish to Vegas!

The family I work for set up their Christmas tree this weekend. I’ve been working for them as their nanny for almost a year and a half. I was here last Christmas and their little boy was just over a year old, he really didn’t understand all about Christmas. Today, as soon as I walked in the door, he hurried to show me all of the ornaments and his little dancing penguins and snowmen. He was such a baby last year and now he is this big boy, who is a quick as they come and picks up on absolutely everything! It’s so hard to believe sometimes. He speaks so well, in full complete sentences, knows his ABCs and numbers. He can even count to 10 in Spanish (due to having a fabulous nanny, of course). It’s just amazing to me how big he has got! I love that little boy so much.

When does that holiday feeling hit you? When the radio starts playing All I Want for Christmas is You and all those other Christmas tunes? Or early around Halloween when all the stores start putting out Christmas things? Maybe the first snowfall of the year? Or when you finally pull out the Christmas tree out of storage (fake one, like my family!) or when you head out to find that perfect tree?
