![]() ![]() Having shortish hair I didn't worry too much about getting it wet. I had the water set somewhere between warm and cool and just let it drizzle over me. I'd be stuffing those things into a plastic bag before taking them home otherwise they'd stink up my case. I'd been perspiring so hard that all my clothes were wet and smelly, even my undies. (Stopping to make sure the little darlings were still snoring their little heads off. I could sit back and relax, watching TV in relative comfort. The way I saw it a nice shower and a complete change of clothes and I'd be right for the night. Small children, I have found, tend to release obnoxious fluids from all their bodily orifices, more often than not releasing them onto the baby-sitter. ![]() I mean, if a baby craps liquid manure down the front of your blouse you obviously are going to want to change it. When I do a baby-sitting gig I always take a bag with a complete change of clothing with me. Fortunately, I had a solution for this problem. When I'd finished the bathroom was in a pristine condition and I was a mess. Whatever, the mess was my responsibility so I set to work cleaning it up. How two small children can make such a mess is beyond me. Satisfied with the way the kids were sleeping I adjourned to the bathroom and considered the mess.

They did want to whinge and fight and complain that it was hot and that there was nothing to do.Īfter dinner I finished up dumping them both in a cool bath and let them play in the water. They'd been reluctant to eat their dinner and didn't want to play, or to watch TV, or to read a book, or to lie down. It had been hot and humid and the kids had been grumpy. I enjoy baby-sitting but it can be a pain in the neck sometimes. ![]()
