Adventures in Babysitting (and I do mean baby)
So my 22 month old niece has finally learned my name. Now that would be reason to celebrate except that she kept calling for me every two minutes. And not just calling. YELLING. I couldn't clean the kitchen, clean my room, do laundry, tend to my ill grandfather or even PEE without her yelling for me!
I wanted to tape her mouth shut.
I was already irritated from sleep deprivation. It was 5am when I remembered I was supposed to watch her for the morning...I've had maybe 4 hours of sleep. TOTAL. And that's *with* a nap.
I was so tired I even called my 'we kinda are/we kinda aren't' boyfriend to come help me out. Unfortunately for me, he was at work. By the time the baby took her second nap, I was too tired to sleep and that is so aggravating.
When my brother, her father, came back, I desperately hugged the life out of him and ran to take a bath. I didn't fall asleep but I did stay in there for about 2 hours. Nobody called my name.
It was pure bliss.
