I threw in the towel.

I just couldn't take it. I had to tell the mom of the baby I've been watching to find someone else. The schedule didn't work out; the baby gets here before 7am and stays until 6pm, then we are up until midnight or later. That is just not enough sleep for me and that makes me VERY CRANKY. The Girl was adjusting to having L around, so it wasn't that anymore. I didn't like that I felt like I couldn't go anywhere and not b/c the mom didn't want me to take them out, it was b/c once the two of them where in the shopping cart then what??? Where do the items go? Plus I wasn't buying a double stroller until I KNEW this was going to work and for the past 2 weeks, The Girl and I have been missing our walks. (and my body too) :( I told her that I was willing to stick with it until she found other arrangements. I feel SO BADLY about it though, I know it was helping her out.
In other news, we are going North for the Thanksgiving holiday. YAY!!! Get to see friends and 'adopted' family! I can't WAIT to hug my boys!!!! Man, I miss them!
The Girl has been sleeping in her high chair for the past 2 hours. My back hurts for her! LOL


~til next time!

Well, at least you gave it a shot. Glad you can get back to your regularly scheduled programming. :)

More sleeping in the high chair....with no pictures...this post is worthless. lol!

Big hug on the babysitting. Sometimes it's hard to say "no" when you are helping someone with a financial need...but in the end if your own family pay the consequences (if mama ain't happy then nobody is happy) it's not worth it.
