oh yeah. it was fun to be with the kids for the last couple of nights...but it's more fun to be home with my hubby knowing that I get to cash a nice hefty check tomorrow. tip to new babysitters - you can always charge more for parents who are about to go out of town for their first trip since their kids were born. these poor people...they have a 7th grader and they haven't been alone together for an extended period of time since he was born. wow. they told me to be sure to have all the fun i want to have BEFORE having kids! hehehe...as if i hadn't figured that out! anyway, it was fun and now i have plenty of spending money. after i pay back the money i borrowed from the house to buy that awesome black outfit.
