I DID IT!!!!

Now some of you moms out there will laugh at this...but I am VERY proud of myself!!!! A few weeks ago I got a phone number from a girl who was interested in babysitting. Now, I have gotten many numbers before and NEVER called b/c I just couldnt convince myself that these people were capable of taking care of my children. Seriously...I admit it,,,I have control issues. The only people who ever watched Keegan were neighbors in NM and his first true teenage babysitter didnt happen until he was over a year old. So, now I have 2 kiddos and my neurotic behavior has only gotten worse. Just ask Kurt:) So...Kurt being gone broke me down and I knew I couldnt have an entire week without any adult interaction that did not involve the kids. Not that going out to lunch and trying to eat, feed Reese a bottle and keep Keegan in his high chair isnt fun!!!! Anyway...I went to a squadron coffee tonight...didnt worry myself sick...and when I got home both kids were in bed (she said Keegan even gave her knuckes and waved to her) and the entire house was picked up. Not just the toys they got out...I am pretty sure the house was cleaner than I left it!!!! And to top it all off when I tried to pay her (she wouldnt tell me how much she charged and said whatever was fine and she didnt need much) she said it was too much. Could I be any luckier??? She is a senior in high school...so now I am thinking that I need to figure out a way to get her to flunk so we can keep her around longer!!!! Anyway...I am proud of myself no matter how silly this may seem. I am starting to let go...and when Kurt gets home from Alabama we are going to have our first date night in a LONG time. The last lunch (yes...lunch since I was pretty sure I was the only one humanly capable of putting Reese in bed) date while his parents were here turned into us getting sidetracked and looking at minivans. Not exactly romantic huh???
