Top Five Friday

1. Good Books

 I just got done reading Fifty Shades of Grey, and despite the mixed reviews I kinda really liked it. My boyfriend made fun of me for reading "mommy porn" but I kinda looked past the graphic stuff most of the time and focused on my bipolar opinions of Mr. Grey himself. One minute I would want to rip his head off the next moment I wanted to...

Right now I starting to read The Lucky One. When I got my Kindle, The Lucky One movie commercial was playing every 10 minutes so I bought this on impulse and hadn't read it. But I finally started and it isn't bad. It isn't my favorite Nicholas Sparks book, but I am still giving it a chance. What are your favorite Nicholas Sparks movies/books? (don't be embarrassed Nicholas Sparks is every girls guilty please...agreed?)

2. Easy Meals

 Even though I didn't make this, I watched my mom and I am convinced I can do this myself. Cut up peppers and onions cook in a pan with a little bit of oil. Cut up chicken and cook in another pan. When chicken is cooked add water and the seasoning packet along with the peppers. And ta-da! Fajitas!

3. Ice Cream

 I don't care what any health person tells me, ice cream is and should always be an everyday food! Although I don't eat it daily (more like 4 days a week) my boyfriend and I debated and decided a bowl of ice cream daily is "healthy". We obviously are a long ways from being healthy eaters... But let me tell you this ice cream from Guernsey's is definitely "eat-every-day" worthy. I love myself some good moose tracks!

4. Almost done with summer classes

I can not explain how happy I am to be almost done with these online classes! My geography class was interesting, the professor was organized, and the exams were straight forward. My educational psychology class was a different story. I am actually convinced my professor is dead considering she hasn't made any class announcements since the 6th, and she didn't respond to any of my emails. So needless to say I have no idea if I did my final project correctly (since she never answered my questions) and I have no idea what my final grade is going to be. I am happy to say that I finished four hours worth of lectures yesterday which marks the end of my online lectures..forever!

5. New Job on Monday!

I am beyond excited to start my nanny job on Monday. I am nannying two little girls (one 4 and one 6) for the remainder of summer. I know I am going to have my hands full, but I am really excited about the experience. I mean it's kinda the greatest job on earth: I get paid to be a mom for the week, I got a pool membership, and I just hang out outside all day. I'll take that over my old retail job any day! The only part that is going to take a bit to get used to is the early wake up. I plan to wake up at 6 am so I can run in the morning before getting to work at 8. Luckilly the family lives 2 minutes away from me so I don't have a long commute.

Does anyone have any suggestions/advice for handling little girls for 8 hours a day?
