Seems like i've fallen off of the "blogging bicycle" as of late, truth is when i started this blog i wanted to make it as impersonal as i could. I wouldn't write about myself , the person. I would write about the thoughts that dwell within and my life in a nut shell. This one however is completely about me, the person. So a lifely update seemed only right.
I have been trying extra hard lately to occupy my mind with as many things as possible. Like having a 6 month old crawling infant who's little hands have just realised its far more fun to get into things that either consist of glass or electrical cords. Isn't enough, yes its been a hell of a ride!
I try and make everyday new, i can not fathom a day like every other as predictability bores me. I can only try and make everyday as interesting as the last, so this i have been doing.
After being an au pair for 2 years, i ofcourse have had many unusual and exciting experiences.
I have told my story to a few people and it always results in them telling me to write a book.
"Write a book and get it published" they say.
And up until a few months ago, i did nothing of the sort.
When i started to think about the life i lived for those 2 years and the experiences i made, i realised not everyone has those stories to share, and so with a bit of research. I have started to write my book.
Its going to be a work in progress for the next year or so, as i am a perfectionist and will not put it out there until i am sure it is perfect.
Its titled "Memoirs of an au pair" and will describe my life as an au pair behind closed doors.
It will also entail the not so ordinairy things i used to get up to when "off duty" some i'm proud of and some i just thank the good lord he got me through it.
The book, will basically be a tell all.
Every year thousands of girls from all over the world come to America to be au pairs, the experience is definately what you make of it. Nothing turns out to be how you thought it would be.
I ofcourse chose my time as an au pair to be the time when i also went a little wild.
The family i once worked for have tight bindings with a publisher friend in new York City, who after he heard my story, was enthused by the fact that i was going to write a book. He told me to contact him when its done and we could start the publishing process.
I'm excited but its going to be a long haul.
My insomniac nights tho now serve me well and i find that its the best time for me to write, there seems to be something about darkness that brings vivid thoughts to my head.
On another note, i have just recently sent Raishawn's Pictures off to a baby model management company, after a scout had noticed him in the supermarket and referred us to her agency.
I was never one to exploit my child, i have always stood firmly against allowing your child to make money for you. But i have since opened a bank account for my son in the hopes we can soon fill it with money for his college tuition.
I am a tad bit ahead of myself. I know! But its never too early to plan for the future.
If we get booked and he likes it, OK. If at anytime i feel he isn't enjoying himself, were out!
So thats me signing off. Ciao, Au revoir, Good bye, Peace and whatever else people use to sign off these days.
