    Because my hubby is planted on the couch watching football, and I wanted to work out. Tomorrow night is fun night (I hope).

    Because...kids. That's why. Almost every Friday for the previous 4 years.

    This, except 6 years...

    We used to go out every Friday night... now apparently the effort of finding a babysitter and planning anything fun is not worth the effort. So there's a lot of snacking and netflix... I went slightly crazy a couple years ago from the monotony, and then slid silently into apathy and here I am. pass the chips.

    Working on my startup website, food blog, and fitness wearable project. With South Park on in the background. And puppy cuddling with me. I'm having a great time :)

    Because last night, my babysitting gig ran 6 hours over (I kid you not, the parents showed up at 3:40am when they'd told me 9pm) and so I only got two hours of sleep before I had to get up for work... where I chased after hyperactive 5 year olds all day. My supervising teacher gave them balloons. I have C-PTSD and can't do sudden sounds like popping... which is what happens when 5 year olds are given balloons. The cherry on the top of the crap cake was when one of my most rambunctious children kicked me twice in the stomach.

    In other words, I'm dead tired, stressed, and if I went out tonight I'd probably end up hurting someone or myself.

    Because of my bed and comfy clothes. I am due very soon, at this point there is nothing better than the two of those combined.

    Because by the time I got out of work (quarter past six), went and visted my mum in the hospital (visiting hours finished at 8), and then got home, my little introvert self was too tired to go anywhere else.

    Plus, Friday nights are my special time to flop and relax and stick on a disney movie or watch football and then sleep as long as I physically can. The centre of the city here is a bad place to be on Friday nights anyway.

    Did you rage at them? I would've been pissed. Did they at least pay you extra well?

    I would have, but they came home drunk and so I was more concerned about getting home safely (no car and they were supposed to drop me off after I watched the kids). Got my normal pay :/ I'm not going to work for them again, which is a real shame because I love their kids, but that was one of the worst experiences I've had babysitting.
