Woke up, got the girls ready for school. Cathy was definitely thankful to have me here because I...super nanny....saved the day due to her sleeping in and not waking up until she had 10 minutes to leave. Love you Cathy...Sleep all you want!
Once everything settled down, i strapped on my running shoes and went to adventure into town. Unlike Illinois, there are running trails all over. most people walk to and from work and school so there are paths from every neighborhood to every destination. along the way i met many young lads and lasses walking to school, as well as a sweet old man on a scooter. he ran out of gas in the middle of a road crossing, so i chatted with him until he could drive again. Quite enjoyable. there were little neighborhoods on either side of the paths, as well as parks and soccer fields. The smell of freshly cut grass was all I could ask for on the beautiful morning. Eventually i found my way back home where i freshened up and headed out with Cathy.
We gathered the children, napped, and fixed dinner for the little ones. I then got the joy of giving the girls baths (where I also seemed to get an unwanted bath as well), Braided their hair, and tucked them in.
Cathy and I stayed up after the girls were in bed and had some girl talk, watched a little television until our eyes hurt, and headed to bed before Kevin got home....
Im beginning to understand why it is so hard for the wives of these Transferred CAT employees to handle the new lives they are forced into. They are housewives all day long with no help (unless you are lucky to have a Whitney around) and their husbands are kidnapped by CAT until their work is done. They then wake up and do it all over again.
