I may be a stalker...

I think I could be a stalker. Ask J. he'll tell you I stalked him. But that was WAY before there were any laws and he married me anyway.

I kind of freaked when my babysitter quit. This is the first time that I had only one back up and she is leaving in August. What am I going to do? Welp, I decided I was gonna get me a girl. And that's what I did.

The hunt began last week. I put a sign up at C.'s preschool. Nobody called. In the meantime, I've been watching the "helpers" at C.'s school. I watch how they look, how they talk, do they smile, are they clean...you know. After a couple of days of watching I narrowed it down to two. On the day of the ambush, I took a shower. I got C. and A. dressed better than usual and made sure they were clean. We got to school early and I parked up the hill so I could monitor the situation. She came out. I started yelling at the kids,"NOW NOW NOW MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!" Bewildered, C. jumped out of the car and followed me down the hill.

As I approached, I put on my best mom smile and started talking REALLY fast, that way she would agree without knowing what she was agreeing to. My plan was working. She looked like a deer in the headlights as she listened to me ramble on. She said yes. I said are you sure. She said she'd call me about the details. I gave her my number.

Triumphantly I walked back to the car. Then it dawned on me a) I don't know her name and b) girls say they are gonna call but they don't. I didn't want to freak her out more than I already had, so I decided to wait til the next day for the second part of the plan.

The next day I practiced what I was going to say, so that she wouldn't realize that I did not know her name. I approached her with pen and paper. I asked again if she was interested and told her of my desperation. I think she could see it on my face. I asked her very calmly if she would write down her name and number on the sheet of paper so that I could call her next week. She agreed. I GOT HER NOW BOYS!!! I got her name and number. She cannot get away! I hope she doesn't try to leave, I'd hate to have to kill her.
