I used to pretend that I was a mom when I was little with dolls. This weekend I played mom, but with real kids. The dolls were so much easier! I babysat four kids and my brother for three days (including nights). I was not near home, actually I was in Illinois, so I couldn't run home and get things or ask my mom to come and help. You know how two year olds ask questions like no other, yeah that is how I felt, asking question after question. Most of them went unanswered or were just silly questions.
I thought that I would share... so here they are, the questions of a weekend mom:
Why do I eat more when I drive?
Is my car supposed to be making that noise?
Was that a police man?
How much above the speed limit can I go without getting pulled over? What about a ticket?
Why do kids get up before the sun on the weekend?
Where am I supposed to go?
Am I lost?
What is that truck doing?
Where is the sunscreen?
Why do kids come near me to jump into the pool?
What does aloe gel do for sunburns?
What time do I have to start making dinner in order to have it done by 5:30?
Should I cover the casserole with tin foil to cook it?
How much are these kids going to eat?
How am I supposed to sleep when I am all sunburned?
Why doesn’t the underside of my forearm get sunburned?
When do you normally go to bed?
How long have you been playing video games?
Did I make enough pizza? Am I going to get some?
What's that smell?
Does your mom let you?
What is in the cat's mouth?
Where are the band-aids?
What day is it?
What does a wart look like? Or is this a bee sting?
Do I turn here? (asked quite a few times on the way home)
Why are there adult boutique stores on the side of the highway?
Why are highways so hilly?

These are great experiences for you, Karee. Luckily, when you do get married and have kids, you usually get them one at a time and that helps. You learn how to take care of one before you have to worry about two. Now that I say that, you'll probably be blessed with twins or triplets your first time. I always wanted twins. Even as a parent, you still ask yourself silly questions.
