Today I had an adventure.
Don't you love those days when life is all so new (or kinda new). You feel like you learn a million things, but you didn't.
The day stated of to a cold morning start.
Out of bed at twenty to seven.
Porridge for breakfast then brush the teeth.
Before bracing the cold morning air to get to my car.
Key in the ignition
Water bottle in hand
to defrost my windows and mirrors you see.
Two minuets later ready to go.
Driving of in the beautiful crisp morning air
Of to a morning of study and fun
As training to be a nanny
Is as fun as can be.
We learnt about neurons
And how to make them grow
To grow then the right way
To give a secure life
To gain some insight
On attachment patterns
To search a bit deeper
Into something I love
How the first five years
Of our wee little life
Sets up the base
For the rest of our life
As each little word and action affects
A child a lot more than we seem to think.
To chat with the others
How they are finding the course
What are they loving
And learning with interest
To share similarities
Or give then ideas
On how to educate a very small child
Then of for my lunch
While sitting in my car
Listening to music
Well munching along
On good bread and cookies
Replaying the morning within my small head
Reading my Bible
And just spending time
With my precious Savoir of mine
Of to do some shopping now
What fun what fun it is to do
Especially when you find
A bargain or two
A new CD
For a couple of dollars
You can't go wrong
With a deal like that
I would have to say
What made it even better
That this was the first time
I had bought one for my very own self
Next it was a plain plastic jar
To make a cool toy out of
For nanny's need toys
Then of to the next stop
Of a very busy day
To have my eyes tested
As I wear glasses you see
Good news I was given
They are getting better
Quite I surprise
For I once was near blind
Last but not lest
It was time to relax
With a friend of mine
For a movie and snacks
And when I say snacks
I mean chocolate and chips
About a block each
And just as much chips
So together we sat
In the movie theater
Just the two of us
Enjoying the peace
And stuffing ourselves
As we watched Inside Out
Enjoying it to the max
The funny thing is
Its all about the brain
Those little things like neurons
And memories Galore
Core Memories at that
How interesting it was
To see what I had learned this morning
Being put into animated form
A very good job it did indeed
Of putting it into a movie form
As a side note
I suggest you my friend
To watch it someday
You'll learn quite a lot
You may want to know this crazy fact
That in my long long life
This is only the second time I have been
To watch a movie in a theater
Crazy I know but I can't help it
I enjoyed it a lot
Then of to my car
To drive back home
Listening to my brand new CD
To reflect on my day
How amazing it had been
To learn some new things
To build on the old
To spend time with friends
And also alone
To have some fun
Making precious memories
