there is nothing in my brain

Well. This has been fun. The concussion? It sucks.

But! A nice thing has happened. A joyous thing actually. A thing so wonderful i am mad at everybody for not letting me in on the secret earlier.

Babysitters!

I am in love with my new babysitter. She's been over twice now. Without incident! As a matter of fact the kids all ask me when she's coming back! They ask me ALL the time.

She's fun and cute and responsible. Everything you could want in a babysitter.

The first time was at night and i went to a meeting. Boring. Yesterday she babysat so that i could go spend a lazy afternoon on the patio of a local cidery with other moms and the teachers from the school.

Although my head was hurting the thrill of an afternoon off - guilt free - was awesome. Awesome!

It was hard returning home to children. I just wanted to go right back out. Soon though.

Except babysitters? Damn expensive.

Babysitters are very expensive for breeders like you and me! Glad you get to take advantage!

babysitters are soooo expensive but I'm really happy you get to enjoy some "me" time. you so deserve it Jess.

Damn expensive but oh so worth it. Now if I could just work up the nerve to hire one... (new mom nerves prevent me).

The BEST is when your oldest child is old enough to stay alone with the younger ones. We still pay but it's less than what we'd pay an outsider. Freedom is a wonderful thing.

A good babysitter is worth her weight in gold! We never found one. Save your pennies....

I have got to find a baby sitter. I did talk to a woman at my church who has many. It would be so nice if once in a while Aaron and I could have a date, or even an uninterrupted conversation.
