Don't know what else can go wrong.....

A friend of mine and I have been trading off babysitting duties for a few months now and for the most part it has been going pretty good. I get 2 whole days to work, catch up on cleaning and do anything else that I want with only Hunter tagging along for now. That means that I have 2 days with 6 kids running around here and most times having fun.
Lately, however, it has not been going as smoothly as it has in the past. 2 weeks ago her son, who is the same age as Lolo, was caught sticking things up his bum. Yep that's right folks he was sticking our toys up his bum and laughing about it. I know that he thought that it was funny, but I wasn't laughin at the moment. It's kinda funny now, but that's because I am now finished sanatizing the toys. The next day he had a few accidents in his pants (after I asked him if he needed to use the washroom) so that was some more fun. Then came Monday, he bent my baby swing frame so now Hunter can't swing in it anymore. Tuesday was a good day he was really making an effort to behave himself. But that brings us to Wednesday....My bedroom is a no kid zone when all the kids are here and they know that rule and usually obey it. Wednesday, however, Lolo and C went into my room to play and got locked in C's sister G let them out and I told them not to go in it again, but they did and got stuck yet again. But this time instead of asking for help they pushed my door beyond it's frame (as it is a pull door from the inside and not a push door). But anyways off it came from it's hinges. So we had to go out and buy a new door.
Now that brings me to Thursday....and I am glad that they were at my friend K's house and not mine as Lolo and C were fighting over who got to watch the TV and off it came from the swivel that held in on the wall and down it went. Now K has no TV. I must say that she handled it a whole lot better than I would have. Maybe that's because it would have been another thing on my list of broken things at my house. But The kids went to ben with out dinner and that was the start of my night frome hell..but that's another post.
Now here we are on Friday and I really hope that nothing else goes wrong as I don't know it I can take any more mishaps at my house or K's.

I don't know if I am ready for this.....

Last night I went to the parents orientation for Michaela's kindergarten. I am not sure if I am ready to let her grow up any more. She is my first and I know that it is going to be tough on me when I see her go to school. I know that she is ready for it. I just hope that I can catch up to her. She's running ahead and I am trying to keep her right where she is. I can't believe how fast time has flown and now she is ready to start putting her fingerprint in the real world and I don't know if I can handle it.

I put her into french immersion and I am excited that she will be learning a secong (well third) language (as she already is learning sign language).

I guess that I have a few months to be as ready as she is to head off for school I just can't but wonder if it gets any easier.

100th post. Humph..didn't think that it would take THIS long

A couple weeks ago I took B, M, L and H to see the Hannah Montana movie and now I have "Hoedown Throwdown" stuck in my head. Boom Boom Clap. Boomdi clapdi clap..... It has been running in my head for weeks now. But I thought that it was a cute movie and one that M will certainly want to get, maybe for her birthday.

There are certain movies that are a MUST SEE for me. One thing that these movies MUST have to peak my interest are one of the following actors..Julia Roberts, Renee Zelwegger, and Jennifer Garner. If any of these women are in it I am all about standing in line to see the movie. So luckily a movie came out with Jennifer Garner the day before my birthday and again luckily I got to take Sean with me. It is the only day of the year that I get to talk Sean into seeing a chick flick with me and he is not allowed to complain about it.

So we went to see "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" I thought that it was a cute movie that was a neat take on the Charles Dickens Christmas Carol and they even spoofed that near the end of the movie. There was no swearing as I recall but it did have it's fair share of sexual inuendo. But if that kind of thing doesn't offend you I reccomend that you see this movie. It is a lighthearted fun movie and one that is perfect for a night out with the girls.
