Birth Mother

Today I have finally found out what my birth mothers name is. It's Mary Louise Wiley. Her married name might be Mary Josafat. I would love to meet her someday if at all possible. I may have found her on facebook and myspace. I messaged her to find out whether she had a baby girl given up for adoption in 1989 when she was 19. I haven't gotton a response yet but hoping its the right person. Will update with more info when I find out if she is my birth mother or not. Peace!

Hair Dye

Its been a long week! Last Thursday my parents went out of town to North Carolina and Columbia, SC, & didn't come back until Tuesday evening. Had to do basically EVERYTHING!! So it was pretty busy always having to run out to go to work and take care of the house. So Sunday I attempted to dye my hair red. Didn't work out so Monday I dyed it bluish black. Another failed attempt! I had to cover the red with the black. So today I went to go get my hair fixed to one color professionally. Everything went smoothly except the lady got dye on my skin around my hair line. Me and my mom had to use Oxi Clean powder and water to fade it enough so I would be able to go out in public!!!! Look better now but will have to wear my hair down and no pony tails.. basically can't do anything with my hair. Oh well..so stressed out from all the drama! Hope to write another blog soon. Peace out!

The Best Day Ever!

It has been a long but amazing day. Woke up at 6am & got to my nanny job at 8am on James Island. The baby I'm a nanny to is named Christopher. He is now 4 months. He is the cutest baby ever! Anyways...His mom, Cindy, went on a field trip this morning with her daughter Leanna who is 5 years. They went to the pumpkin patch even though it was a little rainy out. She left the house around 8:45 am and didn't come back till 1 pm. She was supposed to get back at 1:45 but they cut the field trip short since it started raining real hard. So I got to handle the baby all by myself. I've handled him by myself before but that was the longest. When she got back we put Christopher down for a nap and then chatted a little since she took the day off. Then Cindy had to go pick up Leanna from school and she is hilarious. We read a book, watched a few movies, and she even showed me her pumpkin she got which had a LONG stem! LOL..Tonight they all invited me to go to a place called Party Kingdom. Basically its like Chuckie Cheese but more fun. Had 3 huge slides. Blue, yellow and red. We ran up and down those slides most of the time. Sliding on tummies, "the correct way", and knees was the best. Now I have a bunch of bruises on my knees...Had this motorcycle game that was pretty fun. Like any of you really care about this blog, but I'd thought I'd just write about it anyway. ha! I don't know how I got to be the nanny of such a loving and kind amazing family. I feel so lucky to have them in my life and hopefully will for a long, long time! Peace!

My Life in a Nutshell

This past Friday was an absolute disaster. I am a nanny to a 3 1/2 month old baby boy, three times a week. It all started when I was about to leave their house and I couldn't find my keys. I was so sure I had put them in my purse. Then I realized I had locked them in the car. So I stayed an extra 4 hours while we tried to figure out how to get the car open. But we ended up calling a locksmith and me having to pay $75. Good thing it was pay day is all I've gotta say. When I got home, I moved the computer desk so I could plug in the internet cord and almost get electricuted. You could see the sparks...Then right after that horrific insident, I start to move the desk back in place and a plate that was sitting on top of the desk fall and breaks. Glass went everywhere. My leg was hurting and I saw a little piece of glass was stuck in my leg. I ended up being ok. That night, I ate a piece of chocolate and thought I had put the other one for the next day on my desk.... In the morning, I saw at the end of my bed, a half opened piece of chocolate all over my brand new bedspread. Some even got on my cat and I had to put her in the tub to get it off. At least Saturday made up for it when I went to a football game. Today of course was my day off. I slept pretty much all day and am planning to sleep most of the night if not all. Hope to have another update soon. Peace!

Video Blogs

Ok..so I've been looking at youtube video blogs all day. The ones that inspired me the most from youtube were 'mememolly' and 'paytotheorderofofof2'. They come up with the most interesting stuff to talk about and I basically just enjoy watching them. I am now inspired to make a video-blog but don't know what I could talk about. Any ideas are welcome. I'll research into it more so I can get a better idea of how to go about doing it.

Celtic Woman Isle of Hope 2009 Concert

The concert was indescribable! And guess what? Chloe kept looking at me & she even winked just for me!!!!! I got to meet Lynn & Mairead at the Meet & Greet!! They were so stunning in there dresses & thanked me for the gifts. Celtic Woman I think is a glimpse into eternity! There is no other experience like it! Its absolutely HEAVENLY!!! Everything was so perfect!!! Lynn & Mairead are the sweetest women I have ever met in my entire life & I am so grateful that I had the chance to meet them & look forward to many more concerts & Meet & Greets. Chloe- dark green dress & a blueish grayish dress with silver flowers or something on it. Lynn- red dress & brown dress w/gold on it; Lisa- orangey dress & black dress w/ gold on it; Alex- royal blue dress & black dress w/ silver on it; Mairead- white & silver dress & white dress w/ silver & gold on it I think. Most of the second dresses looked very similar except for the color. They sang so BEAUTIFULLY!!!! Alex smiled a whole lot & it was wonderful! They all are so playful on the stage. They make eye contact w/ their audience, then they just sing out & have fun. I bought a Isle of Hope poster, mug, program book, t-shirt & how lucky was it that I bought Lynn's cd & she just happened to be at the Meet & Greet?! Is that not awesome?!! They even gave you a photo to get signed. I got Lynn to sign her cd for me. Also got the poster and program book signed! The limit is 5 & I had 4 things signed!!! This has been the absolute best day of my entire life & I hope for more to come!!!! I love Celtic Woman!
