hey

i'm working on another longer post, but i'm babysitting till thursday so if i finish it tonight i'll try and take my laptop to church and post it tomorrow before FISH (high school youth group.)otherwise it will be thursday.

so i'm watching a 4th grader and a 2nd grader (i think 2nd grade, i'm not positive)and i know them and their parents and they're great kids. but last night 'high school musical 2' was on. and it wasn't starting till 8pm and their bedtime is 8-8:30pm. so grandma was watching them all last week(their parents are in europe for work/anniversary) and i don't think she enforced any rules. so the 4th grader is a boy and i've known him for awhile and so he was like, throwing a fit about watching it and i had to threaten to unplug the tv till their aunt gets there on thursday. which got them upstairs. then i had to drag him out of his parents room and list off the other friends of his parents that we could call who would all tell him that he had to go to bed. and that's what finally got him to bed. sigh. so i'm hoping tonight goes more smoothly. i don't have to put them to bed on wednesday, so that's not an issue. oy. i'm sooo not ready to be a parent. i like to think that if they were MY kids i'd have more control, but i don't know that for sure. sigh. anyway. they're both gone for dinner tonight so just homework and bed when they get home. hopefully tonight isn't as bad as last night. oh no. there's a disney hallween movie on till 9:30. and you know they're going to want to watch that. maybe we can just keep the tv off all night and they'll never know it's even on! hey i can dream can't i? ok. off to the land of elementary schoolers!
hugs
