days till calgary stampede: 14
i've been hit with a gazilion things to do for zasuu this week. and i'm so glad that i've been able to get 'muscle' to help me out. 'muscle' is the true name of Adrian. he's my part-timer/works-so-much-for-zasuu-that-he-might-as-well-be-a-full-timer.
big news! i "baby-sat"/nanny-ed for the first time in my life! and the kids (yes plural) didn't choke on their food, burn the house down, or drive me up the wall. i even got to make dinner for the 7, 8 and 12 year olds that day! the kids did however run out of the house unexpectedly - because their dog escaped and it doesn't know how to heel or stop running. this happened in the rain too. surely.
you should've seen me when i had to pick the little ones from school. i was the most awkward, what-am-i-suppose-to-do-now person standing in the school yard waiting for the sky to fall. i didn't know what to do so i followed the herd of parents and siblings - waiting and waiting and waiting. then when it finally happened, i realised what we were all waiting for --- the school bell and the rush of screaming kids.
at the end of the night, when the parents came home to see me still standing, not yelling the words "i quit!", were extremely appreciative and happy that all went well. the best part of the night though was when the middle kid, i call "little miss", came up to me and gave me a hug before she went to bed. (:
should you be curious, i am doing this for free. people now can't afford to pay for sitters, and everyone understands why.
the funniest thing i found was how quiet my drive home was.
no pictures unfortunately, because i don't have my camera batt charger. can you believe it? NO CAMERA?!!!!
