babysitting

ah yes the old joys of tending other peoples children. I started with watching a little boy probably around two and have now started babysitting four children of ages ten six and two twin four year olds. well all children are hard to put in bed that's a fact all known in motherhood and tending and is to be expected. what is completely unexpected is when the mother walks through the door nearly puking and telling you she's pregnant. lets just say i was lost. i didn't know whether i should take her seriously or just pass it off as a joke. then her husband walks in not a lot later and say that she just threw up in a bag in the driveway and that she told me she was pregnant. i took her seriously then which i was right to do. lets just say that was the weirdest hello's i've ever had. so other moms that read this wonderful blog (if i do say so myself) do not do that to your babysitters as a mean joke or to be taken seriously have mercy on the poor teens they won't find it very funny just so you know.
