Friday's Bitching

So I'm not so angry anymore, but yesterday I was furious. I have three bitches about the babysitter from yesterday:

-When she arrived, she told me she was going to leave early. This one isn't that big of a deal, but I would like a little more notice. I've discovered I can't really work if I'm home alone with the kiddos. They are too little to play with me only keeping one eye on them and they never nap at the same time. I guess I just need to let it go - I expect her to be flexible for us. But still, I try to give her at least a day's notice if my schedule is going to be different.

-She let Jake nap on the couch and then walked away. He had a pillow on the open side, so even if he rolled, he probably would have not rolled off. Anyway, I got up from my "desk" in the kitchen and asked her not to leave Jake on the couch by himself. She said something like "I'm right here". But, to me, she was too far away, even if it was only three feet. I told her, this makes me very nervous, please don't leave him on the couch alone. She seemed offended and I felt bad. But ya know what? I'm the mom and sometimes you just have to do what I say.

-The last thing really really pissed me off. After she left, I noticed that the sheet in the pack n play bassinet was wet. Really wet. Wet enough that the cloth padding underneath was soaked too. I have no problem if the babies make a mess. Hell, they do it all the time. But please tell me so I can put the damn thing in the wash before it starts to stink. I know this probably isn't true, but I feel like she didn't tell me because I said something about Jake and the couch.

That's all the bitching for now...
