It seems hard to believe that I have been back in the United States now for almost 4 months now--hard to believe that I haven't been here for the last year. It is as though time stopped here when I left a year ago and re-started as soon as I got back continuing to play the old favorites, same beat but with different words perhaps. Every now and then I will get a back flash of the life that I have trouble believing I lived just a few months ago. The excitement is beginning to fade from my stories about the past year as the emotion attached to them is hard to capture. It has become a memory, and like most memories, it is fading and losing credibility. I almost don't believe them myself. The question I get the most now concerning the job is, 'was it a good experience?' or more commonly the comment, 'I bet it was a wonderful experience' which I make into a question. A question I feel I struggle to find the answer to and maybe even change depending on my mood. The simple answer is, 'Yes'. But if simple questions don't exist then simple answers don't either. Yes, it was a good experience, but it was a challenging one and one I would not do again. Let me rephrase that...if at the point I made the decision to go I would have seen what lay ahead I still would have went, however if anyone asked me to stay a second year I would have said no (which I did when asked). Being an au pair creates great experiences, but it is also a very challenging job as afore mentioned in this blog.
