I need a nanny. Or something.

OK so my mom is retiring this week after 27 years of teaching. Some of her colleagues have asked her if she's going to move to Boston to be a Grandma, and she's like "No, don't you know it's cold there?".

The week before last (Friday right before I started my new job) we were heading to my cousin Sean's graduation from UT and I was doing my makeup in the car and I was joking with my mom that I needed her to move here so that she could chauffeur me to work, so that I could get out of the house faster in the mornings and put on my makeup in the car.

Now in my second week of work, I'm not joking! I also need my mom to move here to do my errands during the day. I am putting in some LONG hours at work and the drive can take me up to an hour one way, so errands after work are NOT high on my list of things to do. And of course, neither is spending my whole weekend doing errands. So this is one area where I could surely use my soon-to-be-retired mom's help.

Mom also figured she needed to move to Austin so that the dogs could be fed at exactly 5 every day. Because we all know that my Lacey dog needs to be fed at 5 or she will absolutely die of starvation.

So...no, she's not going to be moving to Boston to be a Grandma...I am proposing she moves to Austin to take care of her nearly 35 year old daugher (and her even older son-in-law).

Mom, you're on board, right? ;)
