30 Thoughts All Babysitters Have Had On The Job
Stephanie Koeller

The life of a babysitter is filled with laughs, screams, stress, and happiness-- almost simultaneously. One minute you love your kids, and the next you're convinced your hair is going to turn gray. Not everyone has the patience that you do, and you often get asked: "How do you do that???" Well, the answer is simple: you love the kids. Here are some of the things that go through your head whenever you are with them

1. Awe, *insert name* is so cute!!

2. *Child poops, screams, or does something annoying* Me: LOL just kidding.

3. I don't know how these kids are always hungry.

4. I wish it was acceptable for me to have mac and cheese for lunch everyday.

5. I think I spend more time with children than adults.

6. What is *insert name* talking about?

7. Is it acceptable to nap when the kids nap?

8. To be honest I don't care if it is, I'm doing it anyways.

9. Why do kids like running so much?

10. It's amazing how something like bubbles makes kids so happy.

11. Awe, I remember when I had an imaginary friend!

12. Please stop touching *insert name.*

13. What are these kids doing?

16. Yes, yes I did.

17. I think I have threatened time out 20 times today.

18. Why does no one pay attention to me when the tv is on?

19. Is it time go home yet?

20. I think these kids are trying to kill me.

21. I didn't know it was possible to scream that loud.

22. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if I'm these kids mom...

23. Why are kids fascinated with the dirt?

24. Remind me to never wear nice clothes to work again.

25. Awe *insert name* is cuddling with me, who needs a boyfriend anyways.

26. OK, *insert name* is officially cute again.

27. I wonder if *insert name* knows this drawing doesn't actually look like a bunny.

28. Either way, *insert name* is more artistic than me.

29. I live for my goodbye hugs.

30. OK, is it time for work again? I miss my kids.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
