... la la la la, la la la" Yes, it is the season! Yahoo!!!!!!! And so starts the month where you have to be extra good.... :S Oh well, it's worth some manners for a month! lol
My fambly has already got most of our decorations up, I think all that's left is my own little tree (oh yeah, and the loot, how could I forget? :D). Mom has her tree and my bro's tree up in the living room, along with all the other garlands... so pretty!
Of course, "Christmas season" means "winter" which usually means "cruddy road contitions", particularily here, which brings me to last night's adventure....
Yesterday afternoon, I got a short-notice phone call from a guy in Linden, asking me to babysit his kids, ages 5, 3, and 1, respectivly. Of course, I accept, but I'm freaking out, since I have never even changed a diaper, what the heck am I supposed to do?!
(Keep in mind, I've never even taken a babysitting course, the most I've done is watching for a friend of my Dad, and the kids were older!)
I get to their place around 3, met Caleb, Ethan, and Zach, (and they were pretty cute, to), got the scheduele from the mom, and was left with them for the afternoon and evening, and entireity of about 8 hours. Their mother taught me the finer points of changing a diaper, told me that the one-year-old probably wldn't take a dump while I was babysitting, and was out.
The kids and I had a blast, they were great to work with. Zach went to sleep around 7, Caleb and Ethan a little later than they were supposed to, since they claimed to be getting ready for bed. Oh well.
The parents didn't get back til about 11, and I got driven home on roads that looked pretty alarming, with the amount of snow gettting blown onto us. But as is evident, I returned safely, the kids liked me, and the parents have another possible babysitter!
Now I'm really bushed, only got 8 hours of sleep, and I need more coffee.... but that was still fun. And since I'm too tired to type any more.... yeah. Cia!
