OTA, when you move in these circles (or work in them as Liotte and I have), you become familiar with this term: "weekend nanny."

Actually Rath, as I have yet to be out here for a weekend, I think rather than a weekend nanny, these kids chill with their parents. Of course there is a lot of help here (I think I've met 10 people so far employed by the family on a daily basis- sitters, housekeepers, cook, baby nurse, gardeners, pool man, etc), so everyone takes turns with the kids. They are very chill and relaxed about childcare (OMG the mom and the 2 babies played in the toilet yesterday, splashing around and patting each others faces, ew ew ew)

A telethon?
A fundraiser?
Wow, I'm gonna have the bestest defense fund EVER!
Liotte...Did you ever read that bestseller (a year or so ago) written by those gals who were nannies to the Rich and Famous?

Maybe we should have one of those bike-ride fundraisers... Seattle to NYC. Who's with me?
I think I'm gonna go shopping for a PDA at lunch. I need something to keep my crazy schedule organized.
L - you are having WAY too much fun.
OTA - where do you come up with this stuff?

I could use some biking. All of my kids have new bikes this week. What a life!

Biking is a great family outing...
SO went out to buy a PDA, and was totally thinking of a Palm or something like that. But after evaluating what I'm really going to use it for, mostly calendar and addresses, I figured I didn't need all that. I don't really want to be connected 24-hours a day, sending email and working at all times. So I got me a cheap'o Sony organizer...
Not that its relevant in any shape or form to anything. Just thought I'd share.

Mojitoland seems quiet.
I had a ****ty ending to my day at work... didn't get to go to my dance class. Now paying bills and cleaning at home instead... at least I won't do it during the weekend. I think I'm gonna drag my roomie out this evening though.

#10945
Posted: 7/14/05 at 9:43pm
Hi Ho - how's everyone this evening??? Nothing too exciting here - just hanging and watching W&G - c9 had mega trauma earlier though - she was stung by a bee while she was in the pool - people six counties away heard her screaming about it - poor thing!
