Windy days

Well, so far the babysitting is going well. I had the little girl for two days this week, and today is her birthday so she's at home with her parents. She'll be back Monday and then the little boy will be joining us for part of the day as well. I've decided that I definitely need to get another high chair or two, because doing lunch in shifts really sucks. So I'll keep my eye out on Kijiji for something second-hand and maybe hit up a Mom to Mom sale at some point. I think Reuben is enjoying having someone else around to entertain him, and he seems to have discovered a new interest in his toys now that he has to compete with another baby for them, so that's kind of nice. Even today he is playing better on his own than he has in a while.

Tim is doing a run for Northland that started yesterday. He should be back sometime this evening. I'd forgotten how much I absolutely hate being by myself at night. I can handle the day and even the evening, but I can't stand going to bed alone. It's totally irrational, but my brain keeps coming up with horrible scenarios where bad guys break in, and I have no way to defend myself and Reuben...I know, it's stupid...

It's pretty nice weather today, although very windy for some reason, but I'm still hoping to get out to the grocery store and pick up some things later today. We haven't gotten out as much this week with babysitting and all, so it will be nice to get some fresh air.

anyway, I can't think of anything else to say, so that's all for now...

Me too! Almost makes me think I should have one, but I don't have anything nearly so interesting to write about as you do. Keep it up. :)

I enjoy your blog when every I get around to reading it, though I have to admit that if you have to go to bed by yourself often enough you get over the scary day/night thoughts that you give yourself (God is in control). Sometimes easier said than done. Aunt Patty
