First Job

Nathan has his first job. He is helping a neighbor out 2 days a week after school. She has 4 kids and needs someone to come in and be a "Mommy's Helper" about 3 hours a week. You know, light straightening up, vacuuming, occupying the kids, etc. No problem, Nathan's been doing that for me since he was 20 months (well, maybe not the vacuuming, but the rest)! He is perfect for the job...and good at it. Needless to say, he's really excited about earning some money, too.

Yesterday was his first day. He was there for an hour. As he threw himself across my bed when he got home, his comment was...

"I'm so EXHAUSTED!! Boy, kids can really make a mess!"

Hahahahaa, HeeeeeHeeeeHeee!!!!! Really, who knew?

This could be the best thing that has ever happened to him!

Great life lessons! Maybe he will get to the "Mom you are awesome and do a great job keeping our family together" stage sooner than most teenagers!
