It's almost 2 a.m.???

It's almost 2:00 a.m.

What am I still doing UP?

After dropping off the kids, last time I looked and it was 4:10 pm and I had one hour to straighten the house, hide the unfolded laundry, clean the counters, try to close all drawers (even w/clothing sticking out), mix a bev filled with mostly water and a lil' bit of juice for Oli, start dinner, fill sink with water to look like I was "soaking dishes" (oh.... I'm good), and pack some "awesome-OMG" type snack for Gabby, I brushed my teeth with Oliver's "Got to be Glued" hair gel this morning. eh hem.... had to re-brush teeth (which had a mohawk since 8:00a.m).           Need I say more?

****************************************************************
I think I need a little "Me Time" or another Date Night Out with Carlos. I'm feeling lost yet I have the best resources I could ever wish for. Girls that will babysit for me at the drop of a hat, a semi-clean house (so I won't have to pre-clean before the babysitter arrives), money in the bank for a nice dinner out where I can actually wear a dress...dress....   dictionary.com )...dance cool amongst the youngins'.........     don't mind being "Elane".   (Seinfeld reference)

SeekingSitters Orlando

Your children are your most important asset so please make sure that when you are looking for a sitter: (this is following up the story in Daytona Beach where a sitter strapped a 9 month old in a stroller and put him in the back of a pick up truck. Her response was, "Children don't come with an owner's manual!" How to Find and Screen a Sitter Ask these important questions: 1. "Why do you want this job?". This can help a parent get an idea if the sitter is motivated by a need for money more than having a love for children. 2. "Give me some examples of activities you would do with a child?" Parents should look for sitters who will engage in age appropriate activities. (My sitter bag)* 3. Ask for their credentials/background experience. CPR/First Aid certifications are required and need to be kept up to date should an emergency arise. How do u pick the perfect sitter? Parents will get referrals from friends. Because of the this, the most overlooked steop for families is references check. Make sure the sitter has updated CPR and First Aid Certifications. Find a live private investigator to preform a thorough background investigation. When you do find the background investigation firm, make sure it's thru a reputable agency. Some of the agencies that you send the sitter's social security number to are using out dated data.
