I after all just posted a really long post about my best girlfriend. I could vent here without asking questions. This will be great for me! I absolutely love to write, but things like livejournal and such are too hard to remember to check on. I love reading the posts women and men here alike have so I keep coming back.

I am so exhausted. Physically and emotionally. I have been babysitting 3 children now since Saturday. I like them very much and for the most part they're well behaved, but their not my children and I can't discipline them the way I would discipline my own children (if I had any). I totally disagree with her method/style of parenting, but here I am diligently trying to follow it without making any mistakes.

The oldest is on my nerves. I tell her one thing and she does another. Than she'll go around my back to get her parents to say yes to something I had already said no too. ex: Their mother said to me before they left she didn't want them having diet soda. So when the baby tried to have some diet soda -- I said no. Than the oldest called mommy who said oh well you can have half a cup. Wtf?.. Thanks for telling me that. This has happened in the past when I have babysat for her. The oldest called her father and got him to say yes after I had said no. Instead of working with me, they're working against me in this sense. I really wish they would have told her "whatever Nicole said is what goes." That way I wouldn't of been blindsided finding out she'd taken the phone and called her parents.

I want to instead be working and making money today. I am now stuck in that problem. I have been having difficulty getting work at my job because the work is just not there right now. They're working on getting me some clients, but right now is a slow upstart. I could kill my boss for loosing me my one client, but that's water under the bridge I guess. A bit too late to fix it now. I could've made 50 bucks before taxes for 5 hours, instead I am making 0. Maybe I should charge her for it! Now there's an idea.

Weee, at least my early celebrated Valentine's Day went well. My boyfriend who I love dearly said it was truly the best he's ever had. He makes me feel so special and I really do love him. I'd do anything for him and I am sure he'd do anything for me. So I am in love with my soldier (both literally and figuratively as long as plans go as they should). I want to buy him a little army bear with his name on it. Build-a-bear offers a soldier bear for not a ton of money. It'd be cute.
