In all of the house excitement, I totally forgot to mention we FOUND A BABYSITTER. She came over for the first time yesterday afternoon. The hubby and I threw caution to the wind: we ate at Ruby Tuesday’s, then went to Wal-Mart to begin Christmas shopping. It’s nothing if not wild around here, I’m telling you.
The toddler seemed to really like the babysitter. No fussing, just happy fun times all afternoon. What a colossal relief. I’ve already booked her for another stint so my mom and I can take a holiday cookie-making class. Woo hoo! Thank god I contacted the Red Cross about posting a notice at their last babysitting course. One of the instructors in the department is really good friends with the girl we hired.
It was kind of a big day yesterday.
