When angels drop into your life.....

..... you get spoiled.

we were spoiled the last few months. we had an angel taking care of our little K-gal.

our sitter, Kelly, is wonderful. she is happy, and fun, and creative, and attentive, and accomodating, and trustworthy, and warm, and solid, and friendly, and kind ......


she's also leaving us.

{sniff, sniff}

I completely understand. her "full time" job (she was only with us part time for K in half day kinder, until the summer started, then she was going to take both squirts) is at a day care center, and she was working close to 30 hours there, without benefits. they called, and lost a staff member, and asked her to fill that spot. with benefits.

I can't blame her. that logical side of me fully understands, and that's what I told her, of course ... that selfish side wants to cover my eyes ....

and cry.

I know why they want her there. the woman is an angel.

just last week I asked her "how heaven was doing without one of their prize angels?" she just laughed ...

she always laughs "-) ...

let's face it, the fight was an unfair battle. we can't compete with benefits for a 22 year old.

although I'd like to think with the charm factor, we won. hands down {work with me, here, I'm wounded ....}

and K, my little K-gal got really, really sad when I told her.

Kelly, you see, was *all hers*. she only had to share her for 3 days with C during the last several months. every other day, Kelly was here to cater, love, nurture, giggle with, dance with, and play with K-gal ~ one - on - one.

so, I am feeling spoiled, and very, very fortunate for the presence of this angel ... but very sad that this angel is leaving us.

\and I have to hunt for a new sitter
maybe heaven will send a new angel to take care of my "angels in training".

:o)
