I'm ready for the weekend with out any kids! The two boys I watch have been horrible this week. I don't know how many times I have told them to keep their hands and feet off of each other. This morning I got out of the shower to find them jumping on the bed. I was sooo mad! Especially after already telling them to stay off the bed because they were wrestling on it and that was maybe 30 minutes before I got in the shower! So I told the older one who is 9 to go sit at the kitchen table and the younger one to sit on the couch in the front room. When I go tell them they can get out of time out I discover that the 9 year old drew all over my table with a purple crayon. So he spent the time before lunch washing my table, chairs, and a few kitchen walls. I thought maybe it would get better after lunch but so far it hasn't. I am praying she picks them up no later than 6! This whole week except for Wed. has been after 6:15 on night it was 10 till 7. The baby I watch is teething and hadn't slept all day when she was brought to me an hour ago. Lucky for me she didn't fight it and went to sleep. Her older sister also hadn't had a nap and her dad told me to have her take one so she is now sleeping also. Well I guess I better get off here and go find something entertaining for them to do from now until the time they go home!
Update: I can't believe it! It is 5:36 and they are all gone! So the boys' mom got here early today and I talked to her about their behavior. So she stands there and scolds them in front of me. Right as she is finishing, Shawn comes outside and asks where his boots are because I had polished them for him earlier today. The six year old tells his mom that he wants to become a cop and his wife is going to clean his boots and wash his cop car. His mom looks at me and said I could never do your job. I said," what? Watch kids?" and she said, "No, be married to a control freak and have to do his stuff for him. I said Shawn isn't a control freak, I noticed his boot were looking a little rough so I thought I would be nice and do it for him and washing his car allows us to spend time together and it gets it done faster. She said oh (very rudely). I can't believe she called Shawn a control freak. He is one of the most laid back people I know. Anyway Hooray for the weekend! Even though I don't have a whole lot going on with Shawn working it still means lots and lots of quite time! :)
