Another Day In The Shoes of a Nanny


So its been one of those weeks! Let me tell you, If going on 30 hours with no sleep isn't bad enough... I got a flat tire this morning on my way to drop the kids off at school! I guess its kind of like the icing on the cake after a week consisting of 45 hours of work, 24 hours of internship, all on top of a full semester of classes. BLAH(Not complaining by any means, and no, my weeks aren't always this busy...)

So recaping this morning...Make the kids breakfast, pack lunches, get them dressed, all while holding a fussy little guy. So I'm a little tired at this point, was up all night writing a 10-page paper but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just have to drop the kids off and come back and put Sean down for a nap....and yep, take a nap too!

Well this was not the case...I get the kids loaded up in the car and then not even 20 yards later I realize the rear end tire on the passenger's side is completely flat. School is suppose to start in 10 minutes and we have at least a 20 min walk ahead of us. So I park the 4runner, grab the baby and try to balance him while carrying Megan's heavy snack box for her class. I only lasted 10 minutes before my arms were about to give out. So finishing the rest of the walk was painful to say the least!
