We'll start with Tuesday. I took Jenna and Julia to school, which meant I had an early morning. After dropping them off, I watched Nathan AND his 4 year old sister, Katie. Katie apparently got the stomach bug the night before and stayed home from school. She threw a few fun tantrums before she came to terms that her mom had to work in her office and be left alone for a while. Watched a lot of Nick Jr., then a trip to the grocery store meant that my day was up. Think so? Nope. I only had a few hours of 'me' time before having to go back and pick the twins up from school again. In those few hours, I went to the mall with Dustin because he was on a mission to buy a new denim jacket. Three hours of nit-picking later, he chose one from the Levi's store. That wasn't enough though. He had to go to the craft store too to buy some patches to put on it. I had completely lost track of time until we got home - I had even forgot I was supposed to pick up the
Wednesday. Another day watching kids, taking them to school, watching a baby, meeting the woman I'm house-sitting for, pick kids up again. I mentioned in a previous post that Andrea was supposed to house sit for a lady and her husband with two dogs, but has been so loaded down with school lately that she asked me to take it over for her. I went to see the house and it is on the most beautiful piece of property. There isn't even a gate in the backyard, just grass leading down to the water with a deck. They have canoes! Totally taking them for a spin while I'm there. When I got home, my little sister's boyfriend, Sid, asked if he could have a small tattoo. Dustin had gotten me new machines for Christmas and I was so excited to try them out. So excited that I forgot that my foot was on the pedal when I turned the rig on and - bizzt - tattooed my palm by accident. Rookie mistake? Totally.

Thursday, yesterday. Almost the same routine. The twins had a short school week and the day off, but their mom had a parent-teacher conferense for about half an hour and needed them to be watched for just a little. I took the twins to get breakfast while their mom was busy and their mom payed for me when she got back! She's a sweet lady, and they're using their long weekend to go to Vegas to visit their aunt and grandma. Luckies. Anyway, after breakfast, I did the usual three hours of watching Nathan while his mom worked in her office. If I've never mentioned it before, now is the time. There is this gorgeous to-die-for stray cat that hangs out in their backyard that is huge, pure white and with one orange eye and a blue one. This cat has always knocked me out with his handsomeness - until I saw him in the backyard again and went out to pet him. When I followed him around the corner, what I saw almost gave me a heart attack. There was a second one. A SECOND white cat with two different colored eyes! Swear to God, I will be adopting them before I move ANYWHERE. I just have to have them. Next time, I'm bringing cat food to Nathan's house. Well, finished at 12 and had the rest of the day to myself! I was so excited until I started feeling really weak and exhausted. In an "I'm getting sick" kind of way. I layed in bed for next to three hours when I got home, made Dustin feed me to get my strength up and got some cuddles from my dog. When my strength returned, I helped Dustin sew his patches onto his jacket and had coffee again with Andrea at 5:30. I listened to some delicious Kid Cudi on the way home. Touched up one of Dustin's tattoos and gave another one to sally of a little skeleton crawling up her wrist. I'll get pictures of those to share sometime :)
As far as the pictures of my finger waves goes, I totally let myself down. They came out way too ridiculous to share.
