sa lite bilder har forsvunnit.. var ju tvungen att ta bort alla bilder pa barnen och familjen.. whtever. kanner mig bara sa "disconnected" med familjen.. vi har absolut NOLL gemensamt och det ar bara stelt och "akward".. inte det minsta naturligt eller roligt.
aja, hittade "you know you're an au pair when.." pa malin f:s blogg:P hehe ja..
You know you're an Au Pair in the USA when...
...you always introduce yourself with : 'Hi! my name is (your name), I'm from (country) and I have (amount of children you are taking care of) children!!') (heh.. ja det kanske inte ar hur man introducerar sig men det ar defenitivt det forsta man snackar om..)
...everybody is greeting you with a 'Hi.How are you!' and you can't respond fast enough, so you say it first! (eh.. what? sager vad forst..? i'm confused..:P)
...the worst thing is, when the dad is working from home (nja ingen jobbar ju hemifran. men nar pappan kommer hem och spionerar ar det ju inte det roligaste direkt..)
...you spent all your money at the MALL and you still have nothing to wear (ja jag har aldrig nat att ha pa mig men pengarna forsvinner pa andra saker ocksa.. mat.. farja.. buss.. bio.. mat..)
...you hate Dora, The Wiggles and Thomas (ja dora ar inte min van..)
...you say silly instead of stupid (maste tyvarr erkanna att det ar valdigt sant..:P)
...you go to PLAYDATES (mhm. kul..)
...you've seen more movies in one month than in your whole life at home (ehe.. na inte direkt. for det forsta sa far ungarna inte kolla pa tv.. och for det andra sa har jag sett en del filmer i mitt liv..:P)
...you drive over 30 minutes to a friend and you think it's not far (30 min? det ar ju ingenting! tar en timme bara att kora henne till skolan varje morgon.)
...you only have other Au Pairs as your friends (sadly.. ja. skulle vara kul att lara kanna lite amerikanare.. men det kommer val:P)
...you can make bacon (ja jag ar inte direkt nat geni i koket men till och med jag kunde gora bacon innan jag kom hit.:P)
...you say 'like' and 'totally' every three words (mycket mojligt..)
...someone has asked you stupid questions like: - 'do you have cars in your country?' - 'You don't have Valentine's day?' - 'Where is your country?' (japp.. ibland kan man undra om vissa amerikaner ar medvetna om att det finns en varld utanfor usa..)
...you don't think it's wrong to have cake AND ice cream (na vada.. har val aldrig varit fel..)
...you park as close to the store as possible so you don't have to walk even one yard too far (nja.. har ar det bara allmant svart att hitta parkeringar sa man tar det man far)
...you cherish moments of silence more than ever before (oja)
...you notice yourself saying 'GOOD JOB' a hundred times a day (nja.. tycker det bara ar lojligt med alla plastiga morsor som ska "good joba" sina ungar for minsta lilla skitsak..)
...you wonder why you slept the whole night long so uncomfortable and you notice the next morning, you slept on a barbie, a lollypop, sandtoys etc. (no way. jag har ett litet rum som ar min frizon och dar kommer inga ungar in!)
...you need to be creative to find new punishments because a time-out doesn't work anymore ;) (man tar val efter foraldrarna har.. hot verkar funka bast..)
...you have to admit to mistakes you never did or put the blame on you day for day (mhm.. tycket jag konstant far ta skit for alla mojliga skitsaker..)
...you're sure you don't want own kids within the next 100 years (oja. minst 1000 ars paus tack.)
...you know now exactly how difficult it was for your parents to have little kids and you feel like saying thanks for all you've done to your mum and dad every day (ja helt klart att man uppskattar dom mer! men inte mest for att ungarna ar jobbiga utan for att jag ar sa glad att jag fick just mina foraldrar och inte torrbollarna jag bor med har!)
...you've learned what it means to be patient (jo.. ar val tvungen.. men har val aldrig direkt varit varldens talmodigaste..)
...you know what a LCC is (duh..)
...you know that you should never SHAKE A BABY !!! (heh.. ja det ar nog en fras som kommer vara inprintad i min hjarna for alltid..)
...you take a nap, after you dropped of the kids at school(after being up for just 2h :D) (nja.. jag ar dalig pa att ta "naps". men det ar javligt lockande ibland:P)
...you are DRIVING to the busstop to pick up your kids, which is only 200 meters from your house. (na har inga barn som aker buss.. men jag lamnar bien hemma nar jag tar jeremy till skolan;) skolan ligger ju iofs pa andra sidan gatan men anda..:P)
...the kids call you mum cause you spend too much time with them... (ja hander ratt ofta)
...you think $176 every weekend just for shopping and coffee are not that much (na fan det ar alldeles for lite:P tycker jag ar konstant pank..:P)
...one cup of coffee doesn`t make you awake anymore, it just makes you alive (dricker ju inte kaffe an.. har forsokt men det ar fan ackligt.)
...you miss the good ol' days when you were able to go to the bakery and get real bread w/ real butter (not that American shit called bread..haha) (ja shit jag saknar morkt och grovt brod! jag svar dom har fan inte det har:S)
...you don't walk into the bank, you use the drive inn to get your money (nope.. inte blivit sa lat an;) men det ar lite drygt att ga till banken typ en gang i veckan..)
...you use Purell instead of washing your hands (ok.. vet inte ens vad det ar..:S)
