Soccer Mom

I took a little time off from work this weekend to babysit for my three cousins. Since Mom and Dad were on vaca, I provided a vaca of my own- unrestricted Playstation, lunch at Carl's Jr., late bedtimes, and lots of dessert. My Pizookie was especially popular:


After our enormous treat we watched Planet Earth, where I was made aware (via text and call) of a local star sighting...and the boys thought it was very cool that Mary Jane from Spider Man was up where they go skiing. When Mom called to check in a few minutes later, all the boys felt it necessary to discuss were Kiki and dessert. Proof of my excellent parenting skills- calorie fests and celebrity gossip. Wonderful.

We had a lot of fun, but I have decided to put off having children of my own for another 10-20 years. I just don't really understand how moms do it. I wore only sweatsuits and ponytails all weekend..I couldn't ever shower because I was sure that as soon as I shut the bathroom door one of them would tumble down the brick stairs, stick their finger in a light socket, or throw the tv out the window. So feel free to ask me to babysit, but don't even bother asking when I plan on having my own :)

If people asked me to babysit more regularly, I would NEVER have children.

Can I reserve you as a babysitter for 3 years from now?? Okay great.

Also, the pazookie is genius.

And next time, maybe you should take the kiddies on a ravishing adventure in the station wagon to the big city in their pajamas and plastic viking hats...

Another upside to babysitting was being able to catch up on Entourage while eating fried ice cream. I think no showering was worth it.

Wait, wait, wait just a MINUTE. Why wasn't I invited over for pizookie? And WHY weren't the Catanos given a shout-out for the Kiki sighting? (Not all of our friends are mutual. Some are either too unfortunate [in the traditional sense of the word] or too damn stupid to realize there are THREE coolest people in the world.) And my third question? What do mexican cows have to do with anything? You are a very confusing person.

What is this Pazookie you speak of? I would like to try such a thing.
