God never intended for me to drive a truck. Especially Mike's truck. It's a beast. Not one of those He Must Be Trying To Compensate For Something trucks. This truck is meant to kill everything in its path. And I had to maneuver it today. I am a Cute Car gal. It is hard enough for me to park your average two seater, much less a normal car. The smaller and lower to the ground the better. I shake just looking at some of those beasts. So yeah.... no trucks for Jakki!
I had an appointment today at two but my car was boxed in. I had Athena call Carrie to see if her car keys were in the house. Carrie had them in her purse (some good it would do me!) and proceeded to give Athena the third degree. Where were we going? Why? What time? Who would be with us? I told her we were going to Hermantown at two for an appointment. She called back about 20 mins later screaming at Athena and calling us liars because Hermantown is in Minnesota (right next to Duluth). Where were we REALLY going? The mall? Bowling? Because we were lying. Turns out my mind switched Hermantown and Hudsonville around and now I was once again this huge liar out to screw Carrie and her family over. I finally decided that this was it. They constantly thought I had lied with no reason to think so. I hadn't lied to them ever before. I had a chat with them after dinner (and before tennis!). Carrie explained that they had been lied to by the other nanny so much that they are now a bit paranoid. She also said that she and Mike thought of me as one of their kids (ooooookay?) and they dont really trust their kids either.... They stated that they were too overprotective and would learn to trust me with time. Not really what I wanted, but I guess I have to go with it. I had told Athena earlier that I might be leaving and she promptly burst into tears. She said that I could live in her room and I could work at the zoo (where did the zoo come from?) and stay with them. It was so endearing. But when I thought about it more, I was really liking the idea of going back home. I really miss my family and while the experience is great, I am strapped for cash. I need to get some income somewhere if I want to do anything at all next year. And it is supposed to be a great movie year next semester. PUMPED!!! WHOOT! So yeah, I guess I just have to go with it right now... But I wasn't sad at the idea of going home.
