looking for something?

To clarify. All (ie: secrets to life, the universe, everything, etc.) will be revealed on Thursday Saturday. Right here. Promise.

In the meantime, I've been maintaining the babysitting empire for hours upon hours, trying in vain to explain that not everything is a tell-on-your-sibling offense. "Meleesa, James hit me/poked me in the eye/won't let me sit by the armrest on the couch/won't stop singing too loud/is copying me because I wanted peanut butter sandwiches first!" etc... I'd never be foolish enough to say "My kids will never act like this", but the boundaries between handling it as a babysitter and how I could handle it as a parent (hint: lots of mocking and forced viewing of the Cindy-Tattle-Tale episode of the Brady Bunch) leave my hands tied and a small headache blossoming.

Tonight I'm watching the 10-month old with separation anxiety who screams The Entire Time his parents are gone. They'll be gone 3+ hours tonight, so earplugs and Baby Einstein videos are on the menu.

Have the kids you're tending tied you down like the Lilliputians did to Gulliver? No word since the appointed (Thursday) day of revelation...?!
