Life was crazy this weekend! I babysat my favorite little munchkins (all 4 of them; 6,4,2 & 9 mos)) from 7am Sat until 6pm Sunday! They are great kids and I have been watching them since the oldest was born - so that is about 6 years now. I was dead tired when I got there Saturday due to the fact that I decided - how hard can it be to bbsit 4 kids for 2 days? So Friday night I decided to go see my favorite band (a good friends band) play...till 1 am!! BIG MISTAKE! I was so tired and had ZERO patience all day!
First off I managed to get all 4 of them bathed, dressed and out of the door by 10 am.....doesn't sound too bad right?! Oh...it gets bad! We were off to a craft bazaar at our church and thankfully another sitter was meeting me there to assist. We walk in and the kids scatter...I mean really scatter! Had the youngest not been in a stroller you can bet she would have been scooting her little fat butt into the madness of what can only be called a toddler mash pit.
Great...they are all rolling on the floor or running in crazy directions with all parents looking on thinking - THIS IS THE WORST PLACE ON EARTH! I mean really...its one thing to have a craft fair but to have the very first project be a sugar cookie decorating extravaganza...HELLO!! 30 kids on a sugar high...NOTSOMUCH thanks!
Thank goodness the other sitter was there and we managed to get the munchkins under control! We left shortly after, hit up McDonalds and were homeward bound - not to venture out AGAIN for the rest of the weekend!!
Sunday went off with out a hitch and the parents made it home by 6pm....I was EXHAUSTED!
I went home took a very hot shower and was in bed asleep by 8 and slept till 8am!!! 12 hours of much needed completely heavenly sleep! How mothers do what I did all day everyday is beyond me! My mother had 7 in 11 years...she must be a saint because I would would be in a mad house!
Well, I am going back to work now and for once, I am very happy to be here!!!
