Longest Day.

Babysitting. Scream 4. Reading a 400 page manuscript. Eat. Sleep.

What have I gotten myself into. I some how managed to plan every possible excursion on the same day.

I am patiently waiting on the landlady's daughter to wake up so she can entertain her friend, who i am also babysitting. So far the other girl and I have said all but three words to each other, and because I have this general belief that kids will warm up to you when they won't I have stayed in the kitchen to avoid forced conversation.


I know, I'm like the best babysitter ever.

I planned a day of watching movies and baking cupcakes but with two kids to watch that doesn't seem like the smartest idea. Instead, if the sleeping kid every wakes up: maybe i should check on her, I might take them to the movies. It will kill 2 hours and I can possibly take a nap in the theater. I'll set my phone on vibrate or something and then jolt up towards the end of the movie.

And because Tuesdays are $6 dollars a flick day at the theater I will see Scream 4. Did I mention that I have yet to even make a dent in the manuscript I agreed to read. Oh, I looked at it. I scanned quickly but I have no interest in finishing the thing. It's all kinds of blah, the pacing slow and it has to do with a graduate student finishing up school. I can't even come up with a bad or positive thing to say about it. I am ambivalent.

I really should go upstairs and see if Nicole is okay. I know kids sleep in late but it's like 10:16 and the other child is minutes away from booking. I can tell. I would be mortified if she was like 'can i go home now, Nicole's not coming and you've been on your computer all morning'.

Dear god let me survive this. I feel like the day is going to shit and it's only just begun.
