friday random 10: help!

this weekend, i plan on watching about seven movies at the theater, babysitting a professor's kid (why he would ask me of all people is beyond me), and welcoming an old college friend back to her alma mater. also, it seems i'm not alone in my difficult life decision ahead of me...both a happy cricket and bip are going through similar processes. hopefully this installment of the random 10 can shed some light on all of our paths, because, you know, i'm all about, like, encouraging people and stuff....

1. "Stars" -- David Crowder Band
2. "Paranoia" -- Sam Roberts
3. "What Do You Do?" -- Dogs Eye View
4. "Just" -- Radiohead
5. "Cling and Clatter" -- Lifehouse
6. "House Carpenter" -- Nickel Creek
7. "Where Do I Begin" -- The Chemical Brothers
8. "The Blower's Daughter" -- Damien Rice
9. "Sinking" -- Jars Of Clay
10. "End Of Our Days" -- Howie Day

well that seems to have failed miserably. these describe more the current situation than the future, unless it's telling us that we could end up in the roles mentioned in one and six. otherwise, i'd say that two, three, seven, nine, and ten all describe my present thoughts and feelings. sadly, i feel many of the same things about babysitting tomorrow. if anyone knows how to keep a four year old entertained for a couple of hours, let me know....

If the weather is nice, take him for a long walk. Maybe you'll be lucky and he will have some transformers-you would love babysitting a kid with transformers. Whatever you do, don't wrestle with him and get his adrenaline going or you'll never get him to calm down. Call if you need help.

rusty...this made me laugh! since i am looking for some guidance, i was really banking hard on the random 10 and as i read the list i thought...oh my word..this is not helping!
my babysitting strategy has always been to get the kiddo really keyed up the last few minutes before the parents come home that way it takes them hours to get the kid to take a nap or go to bed. they never ask you to babysit again and the kid thinks you are the greatest!
