Child Care Work

My neighbor, who goes to the same church as us, called me on monday and asked what I had planned for the next couple of evenings. Being that Forest is out of town until Thursday, my plans consisted of a whole lotta nothin'. So, she asks me if I would be intereted in working some chilk care at the church Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to about 8:30 or 9.. I was hesitant at first, because I have a hard enough time working in Owen's sunday school class once a month for an hour and a half. So Im thinking, holy cow, 3 hours?!?!? THEN, she mentions its a paid position. 10 bucks and hour! My mind changed real quick...lol. So, I get there about 5:20 lastnight. She lets me go in with the babies, rather than the 3 year olds. It actually wasn't terrible. But by 8pm, those babies were tired and grumpy. It got a little interesting. Owen ended up coming in and hanging out with me for the last hour because he was being "naughty". Yea, right....the lady was a cow. I asked Owen if he was being naughty and I could tell he was upset. He barely got out a no, and the water works started. Poor guy was devestated. I asked what he was doing that was so naughty and apparently he wanted to play with the toys. Go freakin figure! There is a huge room full of toys and you expect a 3 year old to not want to play with them? I asked why he couldnt play with the toys and she said because all the other kids were watching a movie. Well excuse me that my kid wants to PLAY instead of sitting on his butt and watching TV. UGH! Anway, didnt get out of there til 9, and then my neighbor asks if I can be there at 5 tonight rather than 5:30. EEK, sure, what the heck!
