Yesterday afternoon I was shocked to find out that I would no longer have a job as of today. Yes, you heard me correctly, I am officially a stay-at-home mommy. My employer was let go from her job with disbelief, which caused her to not be able to employee me any longer. Now, I am trying to be optimistic about this whole thing, thinking that it will be great to just be able to raise Paityn and stay home, but the HUGE downfall of this, is that we will be losing a large amount of income...and I will have no money to fullfill my shopping addictions! I am sad in many ways, not only because money will be tight, but I am really going to miss Taylor and Tristan and the time I was able to HELP raise them. The past two years of my life has been filled with seeing these sweet (sometimes not so sweet) girls grow up. I started when Tristan had barely turned 4 and she just turned 6. I know that Tracy (my employer) was in shock, but I too can't believe this is really happening. I just hope and pray that she finds another job quickly, and if that happens I will hopefully have my job back. I can't believe that, for now, I will not be seeing the girls every other day, nor will Milo (our dog) be playing with his friends (their kitties), and Paityn won't have the girls to play with (the little that she plays). I hope all works out for our family and theirs, because I know what a struggle this will be for them, and it will also be the first time I have really had to worry about watching what we (I) spend, probably the first time in my life!!
I really am going to miss them!!
ok...an addition to this blog...I went to pick up my pay check this afternoon, and started gathering some of Paityn and Milo's things, and Tracy said, why are you taking that stuff, I still want you to work for me, etc...Anyway, that pretty much sums up our conversation, so, the job loss is not permanent, I just have a long, none paid vacation until Tracy finds another job and then I am back to work, hooray!!
R.I.P Raven, we love you, Milo misses you!! (the girls doggy, milo's surrogate mommy)

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job! I was a nanny for 4 kids, and I miss them like crazy...it's weird to be such a key part of their lives and then you're done. They'll always remember you though, and want to see you. Trust me! I still see the munchkins I nannied every once and again.
sorry to hear you lost your job and your employer lost hers - that really must have been a shock for both of you.
Hopefully you can still see the kids and hopefully she'll find a job soon so you can go back.
Just think at least it wasn't your only income. I do have a good suggestion to save money while shopping online. I heard this on the news a couple years ago. Lets say if you are shopping at Eddie Bauer - go to google and type "Eddie Bauer discount promotion codes" - I'm always finding discount codes for a variety of shows. Sometimes it's 10% sometimes 25% or free shipping but anything is good.
Good luck for both of you.

Wow, that really must have been a shock! I hope that everything works out for everyone and that you are able to return to your nanny job with them before too long. Until then I hope you enjoy your break (even though that is probably easier said than done when you're having to worry about when you'll be re-employed).
Joy!, we just talked. Sorry, but you'll enjoy being home and not having to go anywhere for the first little while. Then you'll get bored and wonder what to do. I know!, have another baby!!!, that'll keep you busy. lol! j/k.
Joy, I am so sorry about your job. I know how much you loved it and how blessed the girls were to have you there. You were a so good with them and taught them a lot. I hope that things work out with tracy and that you will be back working for them again soon. Sounds like that could be a posibility. But now I can take advantage of Fridays and we can do a lot with Paityn and Cole. i am looking forward to that.
