So today was like the perfect day for birth control. I babysat my nephews and niece ALL day, I was at their house at 7:30 this morning and I was there until 6:45 p.m. with the kids. I mean it was fun to spend the time with the kids but when you're not used to it, four kids thrown at you is alot!! Especially when the two youngest are less than a year apart and they are under the age of two and still in diapers.....So may day consisted of trying to keep four kids in line and not understanding the language of toddlers and all the while having two older boys who want to play a board game with me.. Why do I want these things??Glutton for punishment maybe? And I guess it is alot harder to know what to do with someone elses kids when you don't know the rules fully.
After babysitting I took a leap (I know you all should be proud) and I went out for supper with a new acquaintance to maybe make a new friend. We have gotten together with these people before and we had a blast! But the difference is that my out going husband was with me, this time I would have to brave it alone. Honestly, I do alot better when one person does most of the talking!!! It mades things soooooooooooooooooooo much better and it made me feel so much more comfortable! We talked about everything under the sun including religion, kids, marriage, friends everything!!! It was so nice to meet someone with common interests as me and in a committed relationship as this makes things easier. She invited me over to her place tomorrow evening to hang out and meet her cat!!! I am debating on wether or not I should go because I have SOO much laundry to do and I am getting together with my family in the afternoon to write thank you notes for the wedding (oops).
You are brave babysitting four kids on your own! Good for you! I sure wouldn't have done it!
