*Is tired.*

Jul 25, 2004 15:00

Wow. I didn't get in last night until... oh I don't know, past midnight. I almost fell asleep on their couch >< I really shouldn't be tired because of that, though. Because I usually stay up well past 1 a.m. anyway. But Cam was so hyper last night. And he wouldn't listen to me. I had to keep playing the old "If you won't settle down for me, then I'm going to have to tell your parents you weren't behaving and I really don't want to have to do that" card. It usually got him to cool his jets for a few minutes, but then he'd be up and running around again. He also had a really bad temper last night. He kept yelling at me. And that's not cool. So I put him to bed early because he was being so rude, but he wouldn't go to sleep. Now usually I let him watch a movie before he goes to bed (he has a TV and VCR in his room) but because he was giving me 'tude about brushing his teeth and the works, I said he couldn't. Then he yelled again. I was about *Raises index finger a bit above thumb* this close to letting him. But I didn't break. I'm so proud of myself ^^ but yeah. After that I went downstairs and watched TV for a while, then oh fun! I hear this high pitched scream from upstairs. So, I'm like freaking out, running up the stairs at light quick speed, and I see him standing in the bathroom (which was dark) and stomping his feet. Apparently he was just screaming so that he could get my attention and give me a heart attack. Really, I was freaked out like woah. But he just wanted the light on in the bathroom 'cuz he's scared of the dark. I don't get it, he could have turned it on himself. But a few minutes later, he did it again. So this time I gave him shit for it and told him not to scream, and that if he had to go to the bathroom, call me first and I'd wait in the hall for him. He didn't do it again thankfully. But that didn't mean he went to sleep afterwards, either.

Oh dear, the joys of babysitting. And it ain't the end either. I have to babysit four more times this week. Tonight, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. *Sigh.* Oh well, at least I'm getting money. And it's only at night, so I can put him to bed a bit early with a movie if I want *Evil grin.* I'm only really updating now because soon I'm going to get some dinner (Chicken, mmm!) and then pretty soon after that I'll have to stop by the grocery store and then head out to babysit. I hope I get home earlier tonight, though. That'd be nice. Man, though. This morning when I woke up, my mom asked me how much I was making this week for babysitting. I lied. Right through my teeth. I already have to spend movie money on groceries, so I'm not telling her exactly how much I'm making. Or she'll want to *borrow* some. And, no. I need money to. And I'm buying food, so pishaw. I'll be keeping the rest of my income to myself, thank you very much. Plus I need to get Jackie a b-day gift sometime this week. Damn I need a job >< There's a pharmacy/store hiring not to far from where I live, I'll probably apply there sometime this week. Hopefully I'll get a job there. That'd be nice. Walking distance from home. Working cash (I'd assume). Not too bad a job, I guess. Ooh! I'm also working on trying to make my own little site ^^! I can't wait to see if it'll turn out or not. I hope it does... but we'll just have to wait and see. I'll get more time on it after this week is over. And I'll most likely be able to show you all my fan videos! Yay!
