Finally, I win.

After 2 months of looking at childcare website everyday, applying for loads of jobs, going to interviews, and getting jobs then being screwed out of them... I finally win. Last Thursday I was responding to my emails from people wanting me to watch their kids for ridiculous prices (i.e. two kids from 5 am until 6 pm for 100 a week... seriously...) and I came upon one that looked promising. I emailed the lady and said if she was interested in meeting with me to call. Well as a surprise to me, she actually called. We met Sunday afternoon and she hired me within an hour. Today was my first day, and even though I was a bit iffy about it at first, I ended up loving it. Granted I have to get up at 6 in the morning to get ready and be there by 7, but who doesn't love extra money? That is what coffee is for! So I have a little 19 month old boy I watch all day, him and Sophie just love each other. It was adorable. And there are two older boys that are 9 and 1o, I only watch them for about 2 hours, I get them up for school, then make sure they do their homework when they get home. Plus the kids take care of themselves... crazy! They get up by themselves, shower, eat, get ready, and head out to the bus. I didn't have to do a thing, they even get their baby brother his cereal. Then at 5 Denny picks me up on his way home from work, so this is all working out with one car. I'm so excited we'll finally have a place all our OWN, no damn roommates or family running around. SEX ON THE KITCHEN TABLE! hehe... I kid.

ANYWAY... The other night Sophie was diving me nuts. Two hours of crying because she refused to go to bed (she is her father's child). So daddy came to the rescue. I gave up and we went downstairs to watch a bit of tv until she got tired. Well that didn't happen. They played for a good hour or so. It is so cute watching them. Denny is getting really into the whole "daddy" thing lately, because Sophie actually plays with him now. When she was smaller she would just scream and cry when he wanted to play. Now he will attack her and she will just giggle and try to run away. After all this Denny went to get a PushPop. Sophie saw all the colors and decided she wanted some. So after they shared it - her face, arms, legs, my arms, and my face were all sticky. Then she went right to sleep within 10 minutes... who knew. I posted a few new videos of the PushPop incident, and some pictures. Enjoy.
