Throwing away the Ruby Slippers

Paradise

NEW ZEALAND | Friday, 30 March 2007 | Views [407]

Yesterday, I started my day by doing penance (1.)
I then bypassed the Cosmos (2.)
in order to make it to Paradise (3.)
from whence I was thrust into purgatory (4.)

1.)  I've been nannying for a 4 & 3-yr old & 9-mo old, & I'm in over my head.  I've had a tough time controlling the kiddos, as they're used to having their own way from their parents, their punishment consists of a 4 or 3-min time-out in their room where all their toys are, and I feel awkward disciplining kids when their parents are watching.  so, yeah, I've been brought down by children, esp embarrassing when everyone can hear the temper tantrum as it echoes about.

2.)  a view of the Cosmos Peaks is passed on the way to Paradise 3.) a town (?) which consists of 1 mansion, 1 metal house/shed, a sheep station, spectacular views, a no-exit road sign (it's a 1-way road), & the film crew for "Prince Caspian," the 2nd of the Narnia movies.

4.)  as I returned late from Paradise to get to dinner, the stereotypically temperamental chef @ the restaurant where I also work, was a bit perturbed, & we had a busy night. 

(Actually, it wasn't that bad, but that's what I thought of @ the time!  :)
