Aw, thanks Matt! I don't have Facebook so I can't look, which is probably a good thing. I would feel compelled to friend him and try to help him some more, and I would lose the last threads of sanity I have left.

Yeah, Shannon... you really do need those last threads of your sanity too!

I'm holding on to them very tightly!

I had to use the Santa face because you used a reindeer.

That's good. That's good.

Haha It's like we're celebrating Christmas in July. (Either that, or we've both totally lost it). HAHA

Wait, are we talking about caring for kids?

I rule at caring for kids

Its alright, oh its alright. A little less pain every time we fall. Its alright, its alright....till you get so tired you cant feel nothing at all...nothing at all.

Christmas in July! Definitely Christmas in July. I haven't totally lost it yet.

Really? Cool!

Yes, that's what we're talking about. I'm a teacher/nanny and Konrad just got a job substitute teaching, so kid talk may filter in to spam every once in a while.

Kids love me because the only thing that sets then and me apart is that I can drive and reach the snacks on the higher shelves.

And now I'm thinking about Ben Nichols.

He does have quite the voice....doesn't he?

Yes. BTW It's common knowledge around here that Ben and I are engaged. He just doesn't know it.

That's cool yeah. That's probably the perfect combination for being a teacher. You gotta be a kid with them sometimes so they can see you at their level...but discipline them at times too. You gotta "keep them in line," yup. haha I suppose that gets tiring on days you don't get much sleep tho...?

Yeah, sometimes it does get tiring. My main thing though, is that whatever is going on in my life, crap I'm dealing with, no sleep, not feeling well, all of that negative stuff that can happen, I leave it at the door and put a smile on my face when I walk in. The kids deserve someone who is 100% devoted to them, not caught up in their own problems and in a bad mood because of them, so that's what I always try to give them.

It's tough sometimes though. Like this afternoon I was so exhausted and the caffeine was starting to wear off, and when I picked the kids up they were both in terrible moods because they were so tired too. It was constant complaining, fighting (between the two of them) and talking back for an hour as we sat in traffic trying to get back to their house. They were both in tears at that point and I wanted to cry too! So I sent them up to their rooms and told them to take a nap because we all needed some rest, and when I tucked the little one in, she hugged my neck so tight and said she was sorry for yelling at me, then the older one did the same and said she loved me so much, and all the bad stuff went away. I was still exhausted, I still had a headache, etc., but the grumpiness of the afternoon was all erased. Those hugs and I love yous and smiles are what make the stressful times so worth it. And even if I couldn't sleep at all tonight (please God, don't let that be the case!), I would still give them 100% tomorrow.

Ah, that's a really good philosophy. I think I'll try to live by that in the days and weeks ahead. And that's why those kids love ya I bet, along with your Gaslight craziness.

Wow.. yeah, that sounds like a rough day. Poor kids, and poor you. But, that's cool they both gave you big hugs. That would be what really makes the job fun. I think seeing their big smiles is cool too. Like being with the kids at the swimmin pool today, seeing them have fun and smiling... it's just so cool. I see a lot of hope in them and it definitely brings me joy. Ya know, like all the troubles in the world just go away? Yeah, I hope you can get some sleep tonight. Really.

This. I couldn't agree more. You get it. That's why you are perfect for this job. Not many people see kids as such a blessing and think of the joy they bring to the world. And you're right, it IS cool! I have always felt that way and it's nice to see that someone else does too!

I think I'm going to sleep better tonight. I'm almost at the point where I'll be able to fall asleep, but not quite. I'm so used to not sleeping, it really isn't as bad as most people think it is. Right now I just feel a little lightheaded and headachy, like I had too much to drink, but didn't have fun doing it, if that makes any sense.

Thanks Shannon! Aw, now you gonna make me cry. Hulk wouldn't wanna see grown man cry. But, yeah, it is really cool.

That's good. Yeah, maybe you sleep better tonight. That kinda makes sense yeah. I think I've been in that state before without all the drinkin. Probably my later years of college... I definitely remember a few 3 hr sleep nights.

That's great! Kids always love teenagers and adults who will be actively involved with them and have a good time. And reaching the good snacks on the high shelves is a big plus too!

Chris and I will simultaneously marry Emma Stone as well.

Aw, I didn't mean to make you cry. It's okay though, guys can cry too. Even Hulk.

I'm glad I'm still making some sense here! I better quit while I'm ahead and try to get some sleep. I hope you guys all have a good night and I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Goodnight, Shannon! Good to see you getting to bed before the birds start waking up.

speaking on behalf of Emma Stone (on the basis of a fellow Valley-an and female), you should imagine what she feels about this situation

I agree Steph. She is the most gorgeous woman in hollywood. None of the other celebrities have anything on her.
