Babysitting

So I babysit these two cute kids, E & C. There Mom was a waitress over at a restaurant, which my father would always eat at and so my babysitting job came from my father talking to their Mom, K. Well E is only a bout a year, and is just too adorable. This video is of Bro #1, and E on my lap, trying to replicate what Bro #1 is doing. This is really cute.

Enjoy the cuteness :)

So today I was babysitting the best kids in the world and F decided to throw an hour tantrum, crying and everything. Well it took me about 30 - 45 minutes just to calm her down, and all I was thinking was "I feel so bad for my parents" because F got herself so worked up, just the way that I used to. So when I get home from babysitting the phone rings, and I didn't want to pick it up, but Mom's down in CT picking up my younger brother, and I didn't wan't her to be calling saying that something happened and that they had to be picked up so I answered the phone, and here's the phone conversation.

Me: Hello
F: Hi, is Cae there?
Me: This is, who's calling?
F: This is F, I'm sorry for misbehaving today, you're a really good babysitter and I won't misbehave again. I'm sorry.
Me: That's good to hear F, because I really like babysitting you. You'll be at church Sunday, right?
F: Yeah
Me: Okay, I'll see you Sunday then. I still love you, bye
F: Bye Cae

This phone conversation just made my whole day! Oh, how I love these kids :)

Week Recap

Okay, I'm getting beyond busy in my life! The only day last week that I didn't have anything planned was Tuesday, but a part of me has a feeling that I did have something, but I can't remember! Well a lot of my week is with work, and working, and taking classes for work.

Monday - I worked for most of the day, and accomplished a lot!

Tuesday - Oh! I remember! I had my Teddy Bear Sleepover at the library, so I had to help out with that and get everything ready!

Wednesday - I worked at the horse barn in the morning, then from the horse barn went to work, was at work and worked on more work! A lot of processing DVDs & BOCDs!

Thursday - This is the start of my busy weekend, I had a blogging class over in Whatley, then I had to drop some books off at Reader to Reader in Amherst, all were discards from my library, then I had to drop Operation Christmas Child at a local church, then from there I had my journalism meeting and wasn't able to get home until 9:30/10pm!

Friday - I have my second part in my BLT Admin class over in Lee, from there Mom picked me up and we had to go back down to CT, to drop Bro #1 off, and to have dinner with my grandfather. If I didn't have my class in Lee, I would have been working over at my library. So I didn't get home Friday night until midnight-ish

Saturday - Dad enslaved me to work at the flea market that his boss is opening up on Dec. 2nd! So I was cleaning glass show cases all day! For five hours straight! Then I had to go grocery shopping with Mom, because we needed eggs and milk for breakfast tomorrow (don't know how we went in for two items and came out with a $51 bill).

Today - I get to babysit the two sweetest kids ever, during and after church, oh and today is Blessing of the Animals (are we CATHOLIC?!)! This is completely crazy and the most weird service I've ever been in!

Oh, my life has gotten way to busy, but for the weirdest thing, I still love my life being busy!

Cae (oh have to eat breakfast or I won't eat until after church)

B10C3457DWL – Wireless Internet Passwords

Who here has wireless internet? Who loves wireless internet? Well, I’m one of them, I enjoy my wireless internet and absolutely love the whole idea of wireless internet, but let me tell you, if you have a password for your wireless internet, like I do, please, and I mean please have a good password!! Don’t make it words that connect to your location, unless you want people to hack into it. Why am I telling you this, you ask? Because I’ve mastered this, of course it’s been places where I know the people, but still! A specific fire department has wireless internet. I was delightfully waiting during Bro #1’s meeting working on my story, of course I got bored without my music playing, so I noticed that there was wireless internet, and I decided to test it. I started typing FD, Townname FD, Firedepartment nothing was working, I was just about to start my way through all of the brands of fire trucks that they have housed in their FD, but in my brain I go “Hey, I wonder if they would be stupid enough to have it as ‘firetruck’” so I tried firetruck, and guess who got into the internet? Yup, you’re right. Me! Clearly they need better internet security.

Today, Mom and I were dropping Operation Christmas Child boxes off at a Congregational Church, and we got there earlier than the OCC drop off would start taking donations, so I fired the laptop up and noticed that the church has secured wireless internet, so I decided to test their security and Mom says “It’s probably Jesus Loves You” I laughed, but I already knew what I was going to try, Jesus. Well I tried jesus and it didn’t go through, so I tried Jesus, and guess who got into the church internet? Yeah, that would be me - - - again.

So I beg of you, when you are thinking of an internet password, please, please, please make it hard, make it something that only you will know unless you hand it out, please don’t make it “Jesus” or “firetruck” or “Smiths” because if you make it something so easy, then you’ll have bored teens like me trying to learn your internet password.

PS. This is not normal for me, what happened at the fire department was just luck, and well what happened at the church this morning, that was just funny. Also, that is not my password for my internet, but it is an example of a good wireless internet password.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What is the most amazing weather you've ever seen? Whenever it snows/ices just the right amount. So the trees are covered and glisten in the sun, and the snow covers all that land that you can see, and you can make snow angels.

2. What is a sound or noise you love? Couldn't we do smell?? I think you should do smell next week ;) My favorite noise or sound, would be the sounds that all of my horses make, it just brings joy into my life :)

3. Do you like seafood? What's your favorite seafood dish? Fried Clams is my favorite, or my homemade Shrimp Fried Rice, both are really good :)

4. What part of your day requires the most patience? Doing schoolwork or work (except if I'm at the horse barn)

5. What's your favorite shade of blue? I like either a dark blue or a sky blue, both are very different, but are both very very very pretty

6. Do people underestimate you? Ha, nope. Most of the time people will give me something to do, and I'll be back in five minutes asking for something else to do.

7. When was the last time you had butterflies in your stomach? Ha, I don't know - - - Oh a couple months ago, actually it might have been last month at the Prime Rib Dinner for my library. I was helping out, there and also a boy was playing the violin for the library and it was my job to make sure everything was alright and if he needed anything.

8. Can you train a dog to go to the bathroom on a human toilet, and then flush the toilet? That could be useful in my life.

God Works in Mysterious Ways

So, today at work the internet wasn't working. Luckily I came to work early, and not at noon. Well I turned the mainframe on and I noticed that the internet wasn't connected, or it didn't say it was, but I checked just to make sure. I started Millenium (our circulation system) on and it wouldn't connect, then I checked the internet. If the internet came up, then I would have to call C/WMARS instead of my boss, but the internet didn't come up, so I had to call my boss. By 11:25 I have called every number, emailed, and texted my boss and no response, and the internet was still not working! So, I looked up at the ceiling and said "God, please give Susan some telepathy or make her have to stop by work or call, I need her help right about now. Please." Not even five minutes after my plea to God, the phone rings. I pick it up and answer it, and it was Susan! YES!! She told me to turn the whole power strip off, it powered everything for circ. So I did, basically it was everything that I did, but just clicking one button. So I turned it off and turned everything back on, I turned the computer on and it looked like the internet was connected, so I tried Millenium, yet again and it wouldn't work, so I tired the internet, and sure enough the internet would work. So now it would be a call to C/WMARS. Well I tried Millenium again, and no luck. So I picked the phone up, and dialed Susan's cell, and clicked Millenium, again, and didn't look at the computer. When Susan picked up I go "Hey, the internet works, but Millen-Oh, never mind, it's working now - - -Susan you have these things scared, so whenever I'm talking to you or when you're here they decide to start working." I said, because sure enough the second I was about to tell Susan that Millenium wasn't working, it started working!!!!!

I have to say God must work in mysterious ways, because if it wasn't for Susan calling me at that instant, I wouldn't have had circ when I opened up, and that wouldn't be good!

Equine Affaire 2010

Yesterday I was blessed enough to have Vicky, the owner of the barn I work at, drive me up to the Equine Affaire over in Springfield, I only had to let the horses out, and muck out some stalls to get the ride. Which is alright by me, so yesterday I spent the whole day surrounded by horses! It was amazing! I even got a bracelet that says Monty on it :)

I was also able to catch the Shire Exposition!! Which is amazing, I absolutely love Shires. They are just so pretty!

Anyways, after the Shires, Chris Cox came out to train a bucking bronc, and let me just tell you he is pretty good :) I loved watching him! After Chris, Leda and I went back to the CNEER barn and helped Vicky and the crew out with Whiskey Lullaby & Beam my Up Scotty, both of them were just amazing horses!! I was even able to bring Whiskey out of Barn C and walk him around for a little bit, Mary was with me, and some brilliant guy decided to let his ramp to his trailer drop - - -Whiskey did not like that! Whiskey is very trailer shy and just the noise freaked him out, so Mary and I had to comfort Whiskey for several minutes. Other than that, it was fun! I absolutely loved it! I can't wait until next year!
