Today is a big day for me. I'm going on a date with my hubby and I'm leaving my oldest son, Tim (14) in charge of the other two. At night. In the dark. With no grown ups. GASP. I'm sure everything will be fine. I started babysitting INFANTS at age 12 so they'll be fine right? So then, why is it 8:15 pm and I'm still sitting here? I've made the required lists, bought them all their favorite snacks, put Hannah Montana on the TV (for the younger two of course. My 14 year old wouldn't be caught DEAD watching it). I'm wondering why such big changes seem to paralyze me. I guess I just always fear the worst. It's like when Tony is away for a weekend, every CSI episode I've ever watched comes to life. All of a sudden, every perp that ever made a getaway is in my back yard. Again, GASP.
So, I'm gonna be a big girl now, grab Tony and get in the car. We're going to go to the casino to win very large amounts of money. VERY LARGE. Wish me luck!
Of course, if you know me, I've scheduled this post to publish long after I'm home and tucked in bed so that no crazies can read this and come get my children while I'm gone. Smart huh? I know!

Jeni,
You are just to darn funny girl! and what a big step to leave your 14 year old in charge! I have thought about this myself because my oldest Zach will be 14 next month and it makes me nervous just thinking about it, lol! I'm sure everything went great and I hope you won your jack pot!
hey Jen, how did it go?? Is it too soon for me to leave the 5-year old in charge of herself and 2-year old brother? She's super responsible! hahaha!!! Just kidding, 14 is a fine age...I'm with you, I was babysitting small children at 12 or 13 for sure...you go, girl! Date nights, watch out!!
