Babysitting Today

September 2, 2020 11:56am CST
My son called me a couple of hours ago and asked if I could babysit. I told him yes. I'm waiting to find out when he'll be here or if he changed his mind. I found a couple of things to use to tie some doors I don't want her to open, so that's taken care of. I never know when she's going to climb out of her playpen, or if my son will forget to bring it and I'll be chasing her all over the house again like the first time. In any case, I'm ready for whatever comes my way. I hope he remembers my tree this time. In any case, I'll be here until he gets here and try to catch up with the notifications that are over 200. I thought I'd give you a heads up if you notice I haven't been here for a while. Do you have plans for today? Thanks for reading. The image is my granddaughter.

Wow! I used to have a chair like that! The usual , I babysit, myLot and do some other things to make some money. Today I have to put my kitchen back together because of the managements error.

It's wonderfully comfortable. Good luck getting the kitchen back together. I don't make money babysitting my granddaughter. I've never asked for money from my kids to watch them. It's a privilege to spend time with them.

@just4him Yeah, but I don't have enough income to even pay the rent, but they want me to stay in this area to watch the kids and this is the only way my son can see them.

She's a cute kid. Reading your post, made me think about the Little Rascals, when Spanky kept the kids. Lol. Funny it made me think of that.

@wolfgirl569 I don't have yarn. I'm going shopping this morning after the pool and will look for something that will work better. I'm using a cloth belt and a plastic bag right now.

Yes, she showed up and it was a good day. She was in the playpen. I'm too old (I don't like to admit that) to chase after an almost-two-year-old. It was good to have her contained. Still, she kept me hopping, even with her in the playpen. I'm glad you rested and got caught up a bit on here.

@just4him I hope you will not have to run all over the house to chase her. Does she sit to watch TV or play games quietly?

I didn't. She had her playpen. She watches TV. I had PBS Kids on all day for her.

She is. She's just as active as her father was at her age. Yes, I got it back. I'm glad to have the playpen when she comes. It makes it easier, but she still keeps me on my toes.

I love to look after little children but soon it becomes quite tiring! However, with grandchildren, we forget the pains and the time spent with them. Hope you had a great time with her. There are for sure a bundle of joy as also trouble at times! - siva

My plans were changed as it rained all night long, I was going to mow and clean the church. Now that will be Friday. So Mike and I are enjoying the US Open for the afternoon. Hope you have a fun time with your grand daughter. Hope your son remembers the tree for you.

Adorable baby! Lockdown second time around has not allowed us, Down Under, visiting with each other. It's good you are able to. I miss my five grandkids' chubby cheeks, baby talk and sweet smell. How did it go today with the baby sitting?
