had a talk with the mom and we decided i am not a good fit because her needs are different than expected because she's home way more than she originally thought she would be and having me here is too many bodies and is wasting her money and my time. (not to mention the fact that i wasn't allowed to say no, let alone discipline these children whatsoever and that having me here and not allowing me to do my job is ridiculous.) so she told me to use her credit card and book myself a new flight (they decided it would be cheaper than having to pay the rebooking fee from my original ticket, which was going to be about $300) for sunday because they could really use the help over the weekend. no problem, i say. flight booked, for only $230. then at ten tonight, she mentions to the other nanny (yeah, you can see why i'm not really needed. i was the 2nd nanny. for two kids.) how i have to be up crazy early tomorrow morning for the car service. 'on sunday' i say. 'no, tomorrow' she says. somehow, i didn't get a text from her saying she talked to her husband and they decided it'd be better for me to leave tomorrow morning.

cue the 'holy crap' string racing through my mind.

so. an hour (and $400) later, my ticket is changed to tomorrow. i feel terrible about all that wasted money but she didn't seem to care very much, which is crazy. are you doing the math? that's $630 for me to go home. that's not even including the $500 it took to get me out here less than a week ago. i feel sick about it. but i also feel relieved to go home. this has been an complete and utter disaster from the get go. the mom was incredibly kind and gracious (i really like her) but the job has been a nightmare.

i will be home in less than twenty four hours.

That's a little bit insane. Also, I hope that someday I'm rich enough to fly my multiple nannies around on a whim
