Returned from shopping with popsicles, Man Juice, strawberry ice cream, and frozen blueberries for the 2 sick children who will be here while my husband goes out for some cardiac testing. Fucking #handfootmouthdisease and #babysitting while single.

Babysat all day yesterday and was asked to help today to give the parents time for a date so they can remember life before the needy-little-tyke takeover. The 2-hour ask became a 4-hour ask, then a 4 1/2 hour ask, probably closer to a 5. And just now, the report that one of the wee sweetypies has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Even a human doormat can have her doubts. #amwriting (not) #handfootmouthdisease #childcare #grandmother
