Tonight as a favor to Brother Dear, I sat for eight, count 'em eight kids between the ages of three and nine and belonging to five different families so he could take Sainted SIL and a group of their friends out to celebrate her big 4-0 in style... and sans kids.
This was taken just before moms and dads came to pick 'em up.
Am I good or am I good?
(A huge tip of the cap to the folks at YMCA Camp MacLean for the training and experience I received there. I couldn't have done this without it!)

You are a far braver woman than I.
I'd probably end up using that duc tape to the wall method of baby sitting by the end of the evening.
God bless you, EIGHT!?! They all appear to be coherent and calm, so there was no Benadryl nightcap or prophylactic Ny-quil administered. You are good.
No Benadryl -- just prophylactic application of popcorn and cartoons. Yeah, I cheat. So sue me!
no well times sugar fest at the beginning of the evening so that they would all be in a sugar coma at the end of the night?
Hey! I'm a professional. No sugar crazies heaped on unsuspecting parents. (Besides... timing those is a real art, and it's been a while...)
I think I'd rather sit for 8 cats. lol
