Really need to get OFF the roller coaster.......I'm on the AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH part......not the WWWEEEEEEEEEEE part!
How many of us feel like we are on the aahhh! part. With schedules and meetings, with temper tantrums and parent issues, with cooking and cleaning, life can often feel like an uphill climb with rapid descents into craziness. But we are so lucky! Nannies get to work with kids. And the beauty of that is that while they are often the cause of those AAHHH moments, they also can change things on a dime and get you to the WHEEEE. Kids can hug you, say something funny, or be unexpectedly sweet and change the whole course of the day. People who work in offices don't get that kind of quick turn. The unpredictable can be frustrating but it is never boring. EVER! If you are having a boring day with kids you are not really engaged.
To paraphrase the movie Parenthood- some people in life choose the merry go round, but if you are a parent (or a nanny) you have chosen the roller coaster. The roller coaster is more fun- you don't go anywhere on a merry go round.
The Wheee part will be coming. Just enjoy it as it happens.
