Fright Night

Alright, so it was mere hours ago that I posted the whole "I don't have time for this" blog, and here I am again. I'm babysitting for a family from our school (ie: they're RICH) and it's been pretty fun. I'll be here all weekend, and I'm cool with that. He's a doctor and they have a nice big three level house overlooking what I think is Tryon Creek State Park. Tons of windows, beautiful view, etc. Currently the kids are asleep, it's dark, it's pouring rain plus thunder and lightning. Now, usually I love these kinds of storms. It smells heavenly, the temperature is just right, and it really is beautiful. But in this huge foreign house with so many windows next to the woods... I'm hearing coyotes howling and I'm having freak flashbacks to all those horrible scary movies I used to love watching.
I'm scared. Yep, I'll admit it. I'm a frightened babysitter.
It's so eerily quiet in here it's like I can hear each and every raindrop hit the floor.
Help me!

I know, I know...

I'm SO not good at keeping this thing updated. No internet at home and a crazy schedule of working, getting enough play time in for the pooch who has to stay home while we're working, getting enough play time for our bunny who has to stay in her cage whenever pooch is loose, trying to get all my ducks in a row for my new position this summer, trying to work on our major fixer upper house, taking on odd jobs to earn enough mool-ah to afford fixing up our fixer upper, and still attempting to create the "village" I would like to have established before I decide to bring a mini bi-ped into our life... all makes for abandoned blogs. I'm trying though - my next goal is to replace my holiday music. This is not something that will happen today; I have the time, but not the nose - I'm at the library, and the guy next to me seems to have confused the "water" and "cologne" shower heads this morning. It's been just a few minutes and my head is about to explode.
So I'll see ya'll when I see you.
Sarah C., I'm not sure you get around to my blog anymore, but I wanted to let you know that we sure do miss you an awful lot!
