Baby sitting tonight | ward's Blog

It is just after six; my youngest son, six, and granddaughter, under two, both finally fell asleep on the couch.  It took some doing, but I got them both to lay down and I walk around here on pins and needles hoping they keep napping.  Especially that granddaughter: with her mother and her grandmother gone off to classes she raises hell with me while they are gone, as if it is my fault her mother is not here, nor her grandmother.  Jeez.

It's dark in the livingroom; I hardly make a sound and carry the cordless phone around with me in case somebody calls; that way I don't have to run for the phone on the wall to stop the "ring."  Phones don't "ring" anymore, but they signal a call coming in loud enough to wake two strong willed children.  Yikes!  My neck is stiff from trying so hard to be quiet!  Three hours until classes end, oh!
