The Worst Day

I started my babysitting job today that got planned out on Tuesday. The girl I am doing it for is only twenty and she has a two year old son. Apparently she goes through a lot of babysitters. She needs one for everyday of the weekend Friday to Sunday while she works at a minimum wage pay job. So I feel bad for taking her money period. This week I was suppose to babysit Friday(today) 1:30 to 7 and Sunday 9 to 2.

I was about to leave and she calls me saying she got invited out by friends and so I would have to stay later but she was not sure what time she would be back. So I said that was fine. I get there and the toddler was really great. He really behaved, never cried. He is obsessed with Elmo and I had to watch it with him about 10 times which made me want to just die but whatever. All in all it was extremely boring, I followed him around all day in the small living space he has. He found it fun to put little books in my hands in a stack while I sat there and was bored out of my mind. I don't know how he does it everyday. I tried putting in movies like Finding Nemo but he wasn't real interested. He ate a ton and was good until bedtime.

I have not changed a diaper in years and so I forgot which way it went on, I had to call the mom, which probably did not make her too happy. And I still think I did not put it on tight enough. Then, it was bed time at 8 for him so I told him so and he freaked out. Started crying and running around the house. I had to change his diaper but he just kept rolling around on the floor. And wouldn't sit still for me to put on his PJs, I was tired and bored and I just started crying cause I was so tired of it. And finally I got him into his room and closed the door so he couldn't run around, I got his PJs on while he was preoccupying himself and then got him into his crib which he wasn't too happy about and he cried himself to sleep.

I waited till 11:40 for her to come home, I am not even suppose ot be up and driving at 12 because theres a curfew in our state about it. She came back with a guy and I got $15 for the whole thing. Suppose to get $20 but she spent too much money while she was out. So I was there for ten hours.... till midnight and that's how much I got paid. I am still mad about it. I don't even want to d this for her anymore. How many mom's just take advantage of their babysitter on their first day? Kinda bad....

Then, when I was leaving, I do not know my way around the town they live in so I was using my GPS and my GPS thought I was somewhere where I wasn't or something cause I ended up being in this place next to a river that was like a big parking lot but with no spaces or houses or businesses around, and I don't even know what I was driving on was a road... SO I started crying again cause I was lost. My GPS was actually telling me to turn right into the river! I was so upset. I eventually found my way out and home. All upset about everything else in my crappy night.

And then I get home to go to bed and I find out my toothpaste is gone! Cause my brother ran out of toothpaste so he stole mine, and then decided to leave to someone's house with it. I want to punch someone right now I am so mad. Such a terrible night and it's almost 1 in the morning cause I'm so mad I can't even relax and go to sleep.

Oh, and here's the cherry to the splendid night. I come home wanting to just vent and talk to Devin. And he tells me he's at his friends house. Which, he says, "Has been planned since Tuesday." And to that I responded by saying how much I loved his communication with me. I now apparenlty have ESP. Ergggggggghhhhhh!
