moving on...

so i was supposed to be a nanny for the next 5 months until i leave for grad school. i had set up with a family in durham that has 3 kids. a 16 month old, a 3 year old, and a six year old. i was really excited. the kids were super sweet (the youngest called me "my ni ni"and i was spending some time with them each week just to get to know them and for them to get to know me. then, about a week ago the mom calls me and says she doesn't think its gonna work because i am leaving in 5 months and she wants someone that can stay for at least a year. here's the deal...when i interviewed with her i told her i was only around for 5 or 6 more months and she said it was fine. at that point i dropped all the other jobs i was interviewing for or looking into. so, now i'm back at square one and down to 41/2 months until i leave. noone will hire a nanny for 4 months so i'm back to looking at corporate jobs. hopefully something will come through soon. i'm frustrated because she put me in a really difficult situation but i know God's got something planned for me and i just have to trust its better than being a nanny.
