Kids...ranting

What have I been up to lately aside from the monotonous time at work? Well, I've become a babysitter. If it's not Davis, then it's Aubrey, then it's Greg, then it's Chloe, then it's...

So I was talking to my boss the other day and I was telling her about the cute kids that I watch and she commented "What do they think you are, a babysitter? (all snooddy-like)" I said well yeah, it's not like I do anything in the morning before work anyway-so why not. (She sneers because she wanted me to work as a driver for her in the mornings so she could hire another person for the office...long story I don't want to get into-I told her I wouldn't because I babysit in the morning for my friends). I said, one friend is job hunting so he drops his kid off every now and then and another began work, and another...so I am there to watch their kids. She replies "well they're taking advantage of you-you're not here for them to USE as their babysitter. How rude is that!" (even though she uses me at work and doesn't think that's rude?)(Let me just say that my boss has a very different view of the world according to Janet and I have to put up with it EVERYDAY!)

...my reply...I ENJOY IT!

As I think more about it, because my friends have been so gracious to LET me watch their kids, my days are happier and I feel like I actually accomplished SOMETHING than just sitting in a little flower shop being degraded by my boss and then killing 5 hours with no business...yeah, I'd take kids over that ANY day-crying, runny nose, no sleep and ALL. I love kids and can't wait to be a mother, but even when that wonderful day comes, I'll still watch your kids!
