The American Dream

Okej Okej!

jag vet att jag inte har skrivit här på över en månad och jag vet inte riktiGt varför jag har struntat i det!

Nu har jag i alla fall bestämt mig för att ge det en ny chans! och jag hoppas att det gå bättre nu än vad det gjorde innan haha..

Hittade dom här raderna på Sandras blogg och jag kunde inte låta bli att ha med dom i mitt New opening av bloggen!

Alla som är eller har varit au pair i America känner igen sig i något av följande..

+ You always introduce yourself with : 'Hi! My name is [your name), I'm from (country) and I have (amount of children you are taking care of) children!!'

+Everybody is greeting you with a 'Hi. How are you!' and you can't respond fast enough, so you say it first! 

+The worst thing is, the daddy/mommy is working from home

+You know what a S'MORE is.

+You spent all your money at the MALL and you still have nothing to wear

+You hate Dora, The Wiggles and Thomas

+You say silly instead of stupid

+You go to PLAYDATES

+You've seen more movies in one month than in your whole life at home

+You drive over 30 minutes to a friend and you think it's not far

+You only have other Au Pairs as your friends

+You can make bacon

+You say 'like' and 'totally' every three words 

+Someone has asked you stupid questions like: 'do you have cars in your country?' -- 'You don't have Valentine's Day?' -- 'Where is your country?'

+You don't think it's wrong to have cake AND ice cream.

+You park as close to the store as possible so you don't have to walk even one yard too far 

+You cherish moments of silence more than ever before

+You notice yourself saying 'GOOD JOB' a hundred times a day

+You wonder why you slept the whole night long so uncomfortable and you notice the next morning, you slept on a Barbie, a lollipop, sand toys etc. 

+You need to be creative to find new punishments because a time-out doesn't work anymore ;-) 

+You have to admit to mistakes you never did or put the blame on you day for day 

+You're sure you don't want own kids within the next 100 years

+You know now exactly how difficult it was for your parents to have little kids and you feel like saying thanks for all you've done to your Mom and dad every day

+You're ready to drink anytime of the day

+You start to love Disney movies again and can copy every passage of them

+You've learned what it means to be patient

+You know what a LCC is +You know that you should NEVER SHAKE A BABY!!! (Thanks to the endless long movie ^^)

+You take a nap, after you dropped of the kids at school (after being up for just 2 h :-D)

+You are DRIVING to the bus stop to pick up your kids, which is only 200 meters from your house. 

+The kids call you Mom cause you spend too much time with them

+You think $160 every weekend just for shopping and coffee are much in your country but not that much here 

+The cup of coffee doesn't make you awake anymore, it just makes you alive. 

+You miss the good old' days when you were able to go to the bakery and get bread w/ real butter (yellow) 

+You don't walk into the bank, you use the drive inn to get your money 

+You use Purell instead of washing your hands

+Instead of singing song from the radio your singing children's songs
