Cute, Pretty Kids

I'm feeding my baby/kid addiction again.

A woman who had contacted me a couple weeks ago through the nanny site was desperately trying to find someone to help watch her kids for a couple hours, three days a week. She's younger than me and works at a local Pet's Mart, where as her husband is a policeman for Pittsburgh and works evenings. That afternoon gap is a hard one for her to fill, especially because they don't have much money and its not really logical for her to pay a ton in childcare, when she doesn't make that much at her job.

But I can see where she wants/needs to do something for herself -- where that getting out of the house and working must feel really good for her, especially after being a stay-at-home mom for a few years. And I mean, I love kids -- and what else am I really doing these next couple weeks? She's only about a 15/20 minute drive from me too, so its not that inconvenient.

I told her I couldn't do it past November 5th, when I start the bank teller job, but that I could help and give her a little more time in finding someone. So on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I'm watching Brian (5) and Aaron (2) until their mom gets home from work.

Today was my first day watching them and I must say -- they definitely are a handful. They're boys -- that's for sure -- but they make me laugh. Brian even referred to me as his new girlfriend today - HAHA. So I think they'll definitely add a little excitement to my life for the rest of the month. And I mean, they are good for my self confidence...

Brian: Let's go to my special place, where only me & cute, pretty girls can go.
Me: Ohhhh... am I allowed to come?
Brian: Uh YEAH. You're a cute, pretty girl.

His "special place" by the way, was his swing set.
