It’s not cute
I babysit kids as most of you know. And you know what??? It’s not cute or funny when kids that aren’t yours are sticking their fingers under the bathroom door when you’re trying to pee. It’s just not. It annoys me. It’s not cute when they discover they can push the kitchen chair across the floor and climb up on the counter. It’s not cute when they find the ice maker on the fridge and push it 13 times a day spilling ice all over the kitchen. It’s not cute when they figure out how to crawl out of the porta-crib. It’s not cute when they learn to crawl up the stairs or turn the tv on and off. It’s not cute when they pull their diaper off when you think they are taking a nap. There’s so many things when YOUR kid does it you think it’s funny or cute or “Wow! Look what they learned.” You don’t think that way (or atleast I don’t) when it’s not your kid.
And another thing- all MY kids are potty trained, so why am I still changing 3-4 poopy diapers a day?
May 2010 = no more watching babies for me. That is the goal. Pray that I can make my Advocare and Mary Kay businesses successful. I believe in both of them… now if I can believe in myself enough.

So very true–what our own kids do is JUST PLAIN CUTE ; )
I BELIEVE IN YOU–you can do it.

I am so horrible at watching other people’s children. Not the friendly, keep a baby so your friend can run to the doctor kind of thing… I’m cool with that. But the, watch all day on a regular basis stuff? I’ve done it, because sometimes life requires it. But I’m so not good at it. My patience? Absolutely nonexistent. Good luck with the new businesses. You can absolutely do it!!!

I’m not much for babysitting either. It’s hard to get excited over other kids once you have your own. Nieces and nephews are a different story, though! I’d babysit my nieces any day.
Rebecca is Thrilled by the Thought´s last blog ..I Love You
No more babysitting for you by 2010. You will do it.
You are going to rock them both!

Excellent goal – after about 3 hours I am DONE with other people’s kids. Totally agree – not cute.
I don’t buy a lot of Mary Kay stuff but I will totally buy from you when I do!
Tori,I believe in you…and every little thing you do.
