My nine-year old daughter is addicted to these nanny shows! I have to admit, they are kind of fun to watch. For me they're fun because I can watch in fascination and say to myself, "Wow, glad my kids aren't that bad." My daughter watches in a kind of fascinated horror. She makes comments like, "That kid is a brat! I'm glad I don't act like that!" Occasionally, though, she slides me a side-long look with a little half-smile on her face that says, "oh, oh, I kinda do that, too." But today she apologised to me for something and after the "I'm sorry, mom," she went on to state exactly what she'd done to be sorry for. Then she said, "Notice what I did? I did what the Super Nanny says to do. I said what I was sorry for." Way to go Super Nanny! We saw so many previews of Super Nanny on ABC that we eagerly awaited the first episode. I thought it was cute, but not necessarily something I would stay up every Monday night til 11:00 to watch. But my daughter has me tape it every Monday so she can watch it the next day. Then two weeks ago we accidently stumbled upon Nanny 911 on FOX. This one comes on on Monday, too, but at 8:00. So she has a dose of nanny at eight, then gets her next nanny fix the next day sometime before bedtime. I don't mind. I have a great respect for nannies. I don't know how real these shows are. Some of these families seem pretty way out, but then, wait, I do actually know some families like this. But the families I know would NEVER let anyone come in to tape them, much less try to FIX them! It makes for a clean, entertaining hour for my daughter, and, hey, now she states what she's sorry for, so more power to them.
I am feeling better, but not ready to go back to work tomorrow. It is one of my 10-hour days, and I don't relish sitting in front of a computer for ten hours if I'm still feeling like I do right now. The cold in my chest is much better, very loose. My headace finally subsided sometime this afternoon. But now I have itchy eyes and nose, and I have to blow my nose every 15 minutes. I took something, so hopefully it will help, but not make me sleepy tomorrow. I did go to Eler Beth's school to have lunch with her today, because I had promised that I would. Sure hope I didn't give anyone anything. Not that I haven't caught enough things from those schoolkids myself!
It rained all night last night, flood watches everywhere, and it rained most of the day today. I'm not sure about tomorrow, but Wednesday is supposed to be warm and dry. Hope So! My sister, Maxine, got safely to my Mom's house this afternoon. She is up from St. Augustine for the week. We will go down to Mom's on Friday for dinner and will get to see her. Guess I'll wrap this up for now. I really must try to get a little bit of sleep tonight.
