Allergic to children?

I began babysitting again for the first time since highschool (basically) last month. Since then, every time I babysit children within days I get sick. I have gotten ear infections, colds, stomach viruses, and now a sinus infection. I think I'm very not-used-to kid germs.

Or I'm allergic to children.

What do you see off in the distance in Nashville?
Hills. Typically, beautiful rolling hills.
What do you see off in the distance in Orlando?
Something large, tacky, and blinking. It could be a ferris wheel or it could be McDonalds. You just never know.

Lauren Winner is my literary soulmate. Or maybe just soulmate.

The Jonas brothers have amazing style. I wonder who puts together their clothes. I either want to date one of the Jonas brothers or their stylist.

Tonight I am grateful for my religion. I am so grateful for the peace that comes from prayer and reading God's word. Life can really get overwhelming at times and the Bible and prayer lighten the load. I am so grateful. I have many friends and family who don't have faith to lean on during hard times. I can't imagine how sorrowful it must be. Life is meant to be filled with the light of God and hope. I am so thankful to know that.

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27

"For we are His creation--created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance for us." Eph. 2:10

Wednesday I am returning to my alma mater DCA for Career Day 2008. Indeed. They have asked me to return to talk to the tikes about a career in the performing arts. It should be a really interesting experience. I'll report back after it's over.
