i have tons of odd stories from babysitting. one time i was watching two little girls, there mom was out of town for a couple of weeks and dad wanted to go have guy time. i got there about a hour before bed time, we watched a Barbie movie, gave them a bath and then it was bed time. i then watched tv for a couple hours before the dad came home early. he told me he won $400 in poker, and wanted to leave before he lost it. i ended up getting a tip that pretty much doubled what i charge for babysitting. also, another time one family gave me a Christmas card with a large gift card in it. now when stuff like that happens, its not common, but nice. however most of the time its either messy, smelly or headache inducing things that happen. like a baby overfilling the diaper (that was gross) or you're with one kid and the other proceeds to dumb every toy in the house into a pile. or you get the temper tantrum of death because you tell the little boy he needs to wipe the snot off of his face (yes that actually happened. a hour long tantrum because i asked him to blow his nose) pretty much anything can happen.
last night i was babysitting, we watched old Disney cartoons, so that was pretty fun, got the girls into bed without any issues. that was at 8:30. i was there until 12. so i decided i would watch some tv, which would have been nice, but i couldn't find the remote. anywhere. first i looked in the of couch and the chair, under the table, under the rug, under the couch and chair. nothing. looked behind the tv, nothing. so i decided to see if i could just change it on the cable box. no such luck. i could turn it on, but not change the channel. but at least i had channel 7 now, right? sure, if you like watching Access Hollywood and Dateline. i decided that maybe since they have a 2 year old, they hid the remote. i looked everywhere. in the kitchen, in the closet under the stairs, in the bathroom even. i don't think it was in the house. or the parents (or one of the girls...) is really good at hiding things. or it could just be that they are always stuck watching channel 7... maybe i should start sticking our remote in my purse, just in case =]
but for the most part, babysitting is pretty uneventful.
on a side note, i really want these
