She’s gone out for the day with her friend and I am babysitting (that’s 6 kids in total!) I suppose it’s just as well they are here or I’d be lost again. I was also left an instruction! Woohoo. The washing is now ON though so I find myself with free-ish time(the kids aren’t crying yet and playing happily out the back door.)
I was going to hit blogshares but their database is broken. I was going to update my mp3 dooda but can’t really get into the mood. Oh well, I suppose I’ll go beat a child at some game or other.
Life’s hard isn’t it!
Hey Billy,
Is this lot of six all yours?
Jobsite I’m on the owner works on the house and watches his kids while I work carpentry.(this past weekend). It’s not so bad. I end up teaching them stuff while the mum rolls her eyes. (probably thinking of cost on my wage or something.) She tells them not to bother me. I give them bubble gum and they amble on to the next distraction. Only now they return remembering the treat from the week past. One of the four-year old twins would probably make a good apprentice.
I wish you’d put my blog on your side links. Maybe I could come up there for some adventure someday and fit some work in. I’d more do it to make a video for some sort of building trades entertainment value or cultural exchange. I have visited Edinburgh once.
Don’t give those kids an inch of mercy at those games! Once they beat you it’s over; the lost respect, the dignity, etc.
Regards
Andy
lol, yeah you gotta be cruel to be kind. lessons hard learned etc. I thought you were in the blogroll, maybe in the plumbing blog or maybe you got lost in an “administrative glitch” i.e you being added between the backup being done and the server dying(again). Anyhow consider this rectified.
Also, your comment got caught by Akismet which is very strange. I hope I’ve not lost other comments from you by it. I usually just click “delete all” without checking as it’s generally very good.
No - all six kids aren’t mine, I only lay claim to four of the little angels. But coupled with her friends two it took me to 6, while Catty escaped to spend some cash. It’s a girl’s life. People think nothing of asking me to babysit, leaving me with totals of at least 5 kids at once. But you try finding a babysitter for 4 kids. Those same people almost convulse at the thought! The more the merrier I say, also they end up all keeping each other occupied so that leaves me free to supervise, i.e play on the computer until someone cries! lol
P.S. I beat my dad at chess when I was ten. He made a nice re-coup by saying, “Now don’t you allow me to win from here on if you’re so good. I want your best!”
