I need a babysitter!!!!

Frustrated is the word. With Samantha going on Ski trips every Saturday. There is absolutely no one that can watch the kids so we can have a night alone. My best friend in the world- Dawn has been busy and has kept them overnight on occasion in the past, but lately her kids have been sick and she has been running around like a mad woman so I dare not ask her. Most all of the HS kids are only 17 and have the restricted liscence so they cant be on the road late at night, so basically we are screwed. It sucks that even on a Saturday night, we cant use our gift card and go out to dinner, because we have no sitter. My mom works every Saturday night in the winter and John's mom passed away 2 years ago, so we are really left with no options. It just sucks when your birthday is coming up and you cant go out and celebrate on a Saturday night, thats all. Sorry for the vent, but it is frustrating! On another note-- Alex's MRi showed that he did not have fluid in his brain! Big relief. We also found out that we have no cost share for early intervention. If John was still working our cost share would have been 416 a month. So not it is 0. Alex is progressing nicely. mackenzie started tap and ballet dancing and absolutely loves it. It is all she talks about. We sign up Dylan next week for Tee ball, so spring is coming. I would like one big snow storm, so we get a couple days off from school. Thats about it.
