Today I make my foray back into the world of sitting on babies. That was totally taken from Jill, who used the phrase “sitting on babies” as opposed to babysitting, and I thought it was funny. Now that I’ve written it, it’s creepy.
Anyway, I am in fact babysitting today. I haven’t done this in over ten months. The last children I looked after were the wee ones in Switzerland, and boy, was I ready to leave that behind!
I am babysitting as a favor to my boss/professor/mentor (still not sure how to refer to her) and don’t mind sparing a few hours. There are two kiddos–two and a half years and barely a year. So, they’re young. But, she hinted that they will sleep for a lot of the time I’m there, so hopefully I can get some reading done.
This week I am reading The Known World by Edward P. Jones for my Southern Lit class and already I am loving it. Only 70 pages in and I can tell it will be a keeper.
Wish me luck this afternoon!
