because
Dana brought her kids over today for a few hours while she went to a funeral with Ryan. The baby cried so much! I was worried about overfeeding him b/c of his acid reflux, but she said he needed to have more food. She said he doesn't take baby food well from Ryan, so I didn't feel so bad. The kid just didn't seem to want a ton of babyfood. then he fell right to sleep, so I figured he was pooped. It was an adventure. I think it was one of Michael's first experiences of helping care for a screaming child. He did pretty well. I was impressed, but really glad they got back befor eI had to leave for work! He is still ready to be a dad. I hope we get knocked up this summer. ;) The job will start eventually and life will get better.
I quit babysitting. I AM SO FLIPPING GLAD! It felt so good to quit! I'm not big into quitting, but there was just one reason after another.
1. It's taking from my time at my REAL job and from having healthy relaxing time once a week.
2. It's fucking degrading to have a masters degree and be someone's "help" and to be treated as such.
3. It's not cool that they allow the whole neighborhood of kids to come over to swim w/o parents when I'm there. I am not a lifeguard and do not want that personal liability.
4. The little girl was fun, but now that the boys are out of school I know I don't have it in me to get disrespected by those spoiled, manipulative, self rightous little boys. I do blame the parents, however.
5. I feel poor whenever I leave. When I leave my other job and the homes I go into I feel blessed with riches. I.E. They have a friend (a neurosurgeon that actually operated on my mom once) that lives nearby and they are moving out of their mansion on a pond (like 5000 sq. ft.) because it's not big enough for the 5 of them. Instead they are building a house out in the country that will include an arts and crafts room, an arcade room, an indoor swimming pool and hottub and sauna, and an indoor ice rink with an attached locker room. Does that make you a little sick? They are totally concieted relationally as well. Yuck.
6. It's too little money to make me get up that early in the morning.
7. Mike thinks I need to stress less because stress often keeps people from concieving.
8. His new job will make finances so much more managable (and I know it makes him feel like a douche that I work 2 jobs and I want him to feel confident and not depressed, so he can utilize this summer time off to work out and work on projects and build relationships with others.
I could go on and on, but I think that's enough.
