Adventures In Babysitting

Before I launch into this story, just look at these pumpkin heads...
They are starting to move and groove and both can sit up!
Alaina is "breakdancing" on her stomach, but hasn't quite figured out how to move forward. Ryan is still trying to figure out how to balance his giant noggin.

So about the babysitting. Oh, where to begin. You know when you kind of have that feeling? Well, we had a WONDERFUL babysitter from March until July that I was sad to see go. She got another job and relocated, but was kind enough to help us out with a replacement. I guess I just never really warmed up to the replacement. After numerous instances of her siblings showing up at my house to cover for her, I finally realized it just wasn't working out.

Thank god my neighbor happened to come over this past weekend and I shared some stories with her. She is a newly graduated nurse and offered to help out until she finds a permanent nursing job. After that her Mom will take over who is retired - perfect! Everything worked out wonderfully and if you know me and want more gossip, I will divulge at a later date. See this whole inter-webs thing means people smart enough to realize you have a blog just may read it! I will keep all other details to myself in case "others" stumble upon this.

But the bottom line is: Don't take a job you're not interested in. The best way to insult a mother is to have little or no interest in her children. I mean come on, that is the proudest thing we have! Also, if you think it might not work, it probably isn't going to-listen to your mommy instincts!
