Tomorrow night is Open House at school. I have 3 classes to visit between 6 and 6:45 and then 1 class from 7-7:45. They ask for us to NOT bring our kids for whatever reasons. This is fine with me except that my husband is out of the country and we have no family close to babysit. Ellie has Girl Scouts and I'm able to drop her off early and get her after open house but what to do with the boys? If I had to take them Ellie would be the one that would behave the best. I'm stuck.
I REALLY want/need to talk to Ellie's teacher and figure out how this year is going to go so I am doing something that I have NEVER done before: PAYING A BABYSITTER!
OMG! It's so stressful just finding one and then figuring out what the right rate is and whether I should add more because it will be for 3 kids (and MY kids at that!!!). I had the idea yesterday to ask one of the boy's teachers from last year who has teenage daughters for help. Luckily her 15 year old daughter is available and I can't be more excited. So I will drop Ellie off, pick up the babysitter, show her the ropes, go to Open House, drop the babysitter off, pick up Ellie, then send everyone to bed late. I can't wait!
I only wish it was for something fun but duty calls.
Better hide the rope and lock the closets before you go. Those boys could give the babysitter a run for her money. ;-)
