Having the WORST WEEK

[craysor]

My friend is stuck for a babysitter for the month....I'm babysitting this week, and was supposed to do next week too (and I have a feeling my friend was going to ask me for the other 2 weeks to, as they got closer).  His son is 9 handfulls of drive-me-crazy.

Day one (Tuesday) -  Not too bad - had to keep telling him over and over to stop jumping on my couch, stop sitting on my coffee table, stop yelling, stop stomping around, stop this stop that. 

Day two (Wednesday) - He was on my last nerve, but what can I do but just try to survive.

Day three (Thursday) - OH MY GOD.  I was ready to just put him in a room with some food and water for the day.  I know that sounds awful, but he drove my husband crazy, my Mom crazy, me crazy, and my daughters kept asking when he was going home.

Yesterday I had to talk to my friend and tell him that I could do 2 days next week, but I wouldn't be able to help him anymore.  Everyone in my house is miserable because of this kid (he's the same age as my oldest, 5), I dread each day, my girls are cranky because he wakes them up at 7am with his loudness (they don't usually get up until around 9am), they can't get a good nap because he won't stop being loud (he doesn't nap, even if I try to make him, he won't even sit quietly for more than 2 minutes), so they're exhausted, making them cranky, angry, etc.  I'M DONE.  I am counting down the minutes until 4:30 when his Dad comes to pick him up, and then I will dance with glee that I get 2 days off before I have to deal with him again.  Next week I have him on Monday and Wednesday, and then NOT ANYMORE!! WOOOO!!!!!
