I am a Naperville Mom-
So all this week I am watching Casey (13) and Taylor (10). We are getting along good. There is a lot of work that goes into a mom even when they are this old. They have homework every night that we have to do. They have lessons twice a week. Today is a busy day: Taylor had voice, Case had flute and orchestra and Stuco. Luckily another mom is giving her a ride home so I don't have to sit around for another hour and half. It isn't very motivating to try to do work at home either. I had to work on church work last night from 9:30 to 10:30 pm cause we were doing their homework earlier (and I watched Motormouth with them but whatever). It is also weird to try to meet up with a couple friends for an hour or so on Friday I have to find a babysitter. I have stayed home every night with them. It is good but it is weird to think that usually I just do everything I want to but I can't this week. Oh yeah and tonight Case didn't want to eat the pizza that church was going to provide her so I had to go out between lessons and get her something she would actually eat. I think if she was my kid I would have told her to suck it up but since she isn't I just gave in.
...I can't wait to take Taylor home and watch the Bachelor tonight (its okay for a 10 year old to watch the overnight date episode right?)
