I bought my first ticket for my trip the other night 
I've finally settled on the dates for my trip... beginning and ending dates, fly days between European countries, and when I should probably move on to the next country once I'm in continental Europe. I've also decided to spend 2 days in NYC on my way back home. I've picked my tickets out and...

i love your self-portarit 
So my job ended a week and a half ago. The Monday after my last journal, I talked to the parents and told them that I was unhappy about losing so many hours unexpectedly. After some drama, it came down to them offering me 8 extra hours, which barely made up for another unpaid day off (2nd in 2 weeks). So I clarified with the...

Sorry to hear that your most recent job didn't work out. The whole idea that someone can take you on to do a job, whether it be to look after their child or anything else, without first agreeing how many hours per week they need you to do, strikes me as being very wrong. It doesn't seem right to take someone on in a job and then say, "Oh, actually we are only going to give you half the amount of hours each week now". They should agree that they want you to work X amount of hours and then pay you for X amount of hours and if it so happens that they decide that they wont need you to look after their kidlet on Thursday because they are off out on a family trip to the seaside, or the pantomime, or whatever, then they should still pay you (and why not, that's how it works in my job - if we get sent home early due to a power cut we still get paid). After all, if you are child minding, then the hours you are working make it hard for you to find another part-time job with which to supplement your income so you are somewhat dependant upon the whims of kidlet's parents.
Good luck in finding a new job soon.

I hate work right now.
I'm starting to really, really dislike the mom I work for.
So... grandma's in town (the dad's mom). She got into town on Tuesday afternoon/evening. The mom has decided that she wants to make me go home early and let the grandma take over once the kiddos go down for their afternoon nap (between 2 and 3pm). I normally don't...

That sucks! Hope that it all falls into place, and you find a really kick ass job that will work before your Eurotrip...
My dog started barking this morning as I was getting ready for work. My mom looked out the window and saw a man dressed in all black with a ski mask on getting back into his car at the end of our driveway.
For once, that dog did something right... very right.

I did this on Monday with a friend. We did it at Folklife, which is an arts festival type thing at the Seattle Center (base of the Space Needle) that happens every year with food venders/stands and people selling their arts and crafts and music and entertainment. I'm sure most people in Seattle and nearby cities go during at least 1 of the days it's...

That was a nice thing. Although I don't know if I could do it! Good job
I think I'm getting sick... well, I'm pretty sure I am. Sore throat, a little bit of the nose crap... yeah, fun 
I'm a nanny for 2 boys, 2 1/2 year old Nikolai ("Koko") & 8 1/2 month old Mattias ("Tias"). Tias has been sick on and off for the past month, so it's very likely that it's from him. I took my 3 year...

i think we have the same glasses. rad!

obviously your taste is fantastic! yay glassestwins!
I'm looking into removing my tats behind my ears. They aren't what I was hoping they'd be and when my hair grows back out, I'd like to be able to put my hair up without being self conscious about how pathetic they look.
I'm thinking of going to the Tattoo Convention this month. I have ideas of how to fix up my trinity wrist tattoo...

hells yah! that would be worth it. $$$$ cha ching $$$
I've always wanted a trinity tattoo. I like the hindy looking one- I'll see if I can find a pic of the one I'm talking about. I thought it would be cool as a bracellet if they flowed into each other right.

I saw the trinity tat on your wrist in your pics. I'm still looking for the one I'm talking about. I thought it was in my pics but it might be on the other computer. I may have to google it. I doubt I'll find the one I'm talking about. We shall see.
Have a good weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is kind of what I'm talking about but, there would be dots between the swirls. & for a bracelet one of the swirls (spirals) would hook into another spiral and so on. 3 is truly a magic number.

And this one will actually last more than 3 months! lol
I interviewed with them last weekend and it went really well. The kids are 7 months old and 2 1/2 years old, both boys. The parents speak German and English to them, so the fact that I took German in high school will come in handy. I don't remember...

It's snowing.
My sister is out of town, so I'm staying in her place (the basement of our house that my mom made into an apartment to rent out) to keep her dog company. The window in her bedroom is being replaced while she's gone, so I've been sleeping on my nephew's bed, which isn't bad.
I called me dad on Thanksgiving. First time in...

Man, I really wish some dreams were a reality.
I wish the people I meet in dreams were tangable and alive in my waking life.
I'd be a happy camper if that were possible.
