Hey,I've been soo busy lately..not been able to get on here since last thursday. I bought my sons hunting gear and was cleaning the house on sunday. I got my weigh-in tonight and am down .4lbs. I was hoping to be more,but since this babysitting job,I haven't been able to do the things I normally do. It's a total of 22.8lbs in 9 weeks..I'm soo excited about that.

How's everyone doing?

Amy-It's been ok so far..kids seem to fight alot. I had to tell there mom on what her kids have been doing. I heard them cussing,and her oldest daughter has been hitting..well my daughter has hit,but I sat her down and told her not to ever do it again. But I just wanted to inform her on things. The 3 kids I babysit are wild. I've had to give all the kids time outs. I'm just happy to earn some extra money to help out with bills and then Christmas is coming up real soon,so we can get our kids presents. Well,it's my bedtime..talk to you all soon,night!!

Congrats on the weight loss, Tracie! As for the kids, I may be mean but I'd threaten to whoop some hiney with a leather belt! How old are these kids? Sounds like you've got your hands full.

Please don't spank the children unless you have written permission from their mother. Even then, I don't think I would. It would be too easy to blame you for any bruises if someone saw them.

Maybe the children will calm down after they get accustomed to being at your house.

I don't spank kids,not even my own. I put them in different places and tell them if they be good,they can go play. There mom even told me to do that. It really does help. It's been ok so far..better than yesterday. She said she had a talk with there kids last night. Well,I gotta go,talk to you all later!!

Great! That is terrific. You are fantastic! Six young children is a handful for anyone. I am sure you will have them under control in no time.
