even old people like to go out on friday nights sometimes

these are all the things mommy and daddy have tried to do to find me a new babysitter:
post cute flyers up at the college.
call the department of aging and talk with their senior employment department (where mommy was told "even old people like to go out on friday nights sometimes).
both the college and the old people were offended when she told them how much she was going to pay. who else...

a mass e mail sent to the "new arrivals" group.

the church we went to a few times.

a lady mommy knows from "new arrivals" who has a friend who just moved here who used to be a nanny.

granny and grandpappy shea are coming up for the weekend to watch me so mommy can go to the job she loves so much.

mommy did get one response from the flyer today, so keep your fingers crossed.

i have been very very fussy the last couple days. i am not sick any more, so mommy doesn't know what crawled up by butt. it's nothing really, i just want mommy to hold me all the time. i have decided that walking is overrated and she can carry me everywhere. all the time. my great grandmother says i am a prince, and auntie karen says i am a princess and mommy says i am a drama queen, so i think, as royalty, i should be carried all the time. that's all.

i think halloweenwas stupid by the way. i don't see what the fuss was all about. although i have to admit, the chicken costume was mightly comfy......

i can say "up" "done" "teeth" and i can communicate "no" by viorously shaking my head, which i do many many many times a day. you wouldn't know i was saying up, done and teeth but mommy does. clear as day to her. she's a smart one.
