On Tuesday, temperatures in Stapleton dropped to the mid-70’s. This temporary freeze caused havoc for nannies and stay at home moms all over Stapleton. “I have basically been taking the kids to the pool every day since the summer started,” said nanny Erika Bearbower. “Then, we come home for lunch and video games, or a show, then back to the pool. It is a very simple routine.” However, when the temperatures dropped, the pool was no longer an option.
“I didn’t know what to do,” said Bearbower. “I texted some of my nanny friends, and we were all kind of at a loss. I even googled things like, ‘what do kids like to do?’ to try to figure out what I should be doing with them. Let’s just say it was a really, really, long day.” Other nannies agreed. “Oh my God,” exclaimed Amy Seery. “First of all, telling the kids we couldn’t go to the pool was really hard. I mean, like, really hard. Then, we tried to watch a movie, and they were just to squirly. Finally, I decided maybe I should take them to the park. But, boy, what a rough, rough day.”
Nannies are hoping the ice cold weather doesn’t strike again. “I think if I see the weather won’t cooperate and I can’t take the kids to the pool, I’ll probably just call in sick,” said Bearbower. Luckily for nannies all over Stapleton, the weather forecast for the next 30 weeks appears to be in the mid 90’s with a 10% chance of rain.
