Apparently I can be a little intimidating...to babysitters;) A few weeks ago I went to pick up a sitter for our girls. It was the night of the Charity fundraiser thing. I'd never met her before, so I was a little nervous. When I'm nervous I talk...A LOT. Silence makes me uncomfortable and this girl was super quiet. So somehow with my endless blabbering I ended up telling her I flunked my driver's license test when I was 16. Within a minute or so of telling her this (and then reassuring her I was a great driver) I pulled right out in front of a truck and got honked at! Needless to say I was slightly mortified.
{I tried to find my driver's license picture from when I was 16. No luck. I'm still hunting. I've saved them all. You would just die...laughing. Anyway these are a few from Sat. night.}
Well Saturday Honey and I had another date night. We went to dinner and a movie. Driving her home afterwards there was just awkward dead silence. We're talking crickets;) So in my flustered state I accidentally made a wrong turn and ended up driving her into a neighborhood she didn't live in. Instead of saying anything she just sat there. I finally figured out my mistake and got her home, but I'm thinking am I that scary...is she afraid to talk to me or what!?? I have to admit teenagers kind of intimidate me a little too. I think I babble because I'm trying to convince her I'm cool or something. The thing is I still feel like the babysitter. Sometimes I can't believe I'm the almost 40 year old adult with kids and a mortgage. How did that happen?
Have a blessed day.
Oh and I wanted to thank you for your awesome response to my last post. It was so reassuring to hear a lot of you say you felt the same way. I put my little follower free girl on my sidebar. If any of you want her too help yourself:) I love you girlies!
