If you pray they will come!

As most of you know that I quit my job to be a stay at home mommy in December. I was quitting with the intention of having a newborn baby to watch 5 days a week and 1 parttimer or 2. Well I only ended up getting the baby which has been nice but I want the money.. ha So All in one week I get a phone call to keep a little 2 yr old girl 2 days a month so thats nothing and 3 days later another phone call to keep a boy and girl (brother and sister) 5 and 2... 3 days a week . So its perfect I am so excited. good parents I have been blessed with so far. Wes and I always said I will never keep a kid I don't feel comforable with or the parents make me feel intimatated etc.. The girl who used to watch mine always told me that rule too... She kept kids for 7 years and complimented me and wes on being the best parents she ever had. We did't care if the kids got dirty , got a boo boo or two :), fell down, we cared but never upset with her for the way she did things with them. One time I pulled up and Sage and Zack were peeing out in the yard and she said oh my gosh I hope you don't care I said kim if I did care then I would need to take a chill pill as a parent and let my boy be a boy.. thats how Sage learned to pee so well run around in jockies and he just loved peeing outside and it worked ha ... So I always said I hope it goes as well for me as it did for her. If Sage would have been all clean when I picked him up at kims then I would have thought he didn't get to play hard.. But that was hardly the case he was pretty much always dirty and that tickeled me and Wes to death..Now I don't want them spick and span all the time but my rule to being a parent is to let kids be kids... so when I have a parent call me I go a head and cover all of this how are you on playing outside and getting dirty, eating, naps, rules at home that I need to use here and they are so ticlked I am very laid back on playing lots outside, playdough, etc.. One of the parents is a very healthy meal planner and eater but I think I can manage that with their child but loves their child to get dirty and play play play..... I told her that the house may be clean when you drop your kid off but when you pick them up it wont be that way she said well if it was all clean when i came to pick her up then I would think seh didn't play with toys so that made me feel good cuase you can't really clean up after kids while thy are playing.. only naps and bedtime is picking up time around here. I get the 2 new kids tomorrow I am very excited about. So please pray for me as I start this new stage in my life .....
