my mom calls me this afternoon and tells me she has two free tickets to some big dinner, dancing shindig. (my aunt couldn't go)

sparky told her he would definitely go.

ummm. kids? doesn't my mom remember that part? she is the babysitter. so...if she goes, we don't. we can't just leave them alone for 7 or so hours and i am not going to trust someone new for a late night babysitting adventure. j and c can be a challenge at times.

a little more notice would have been nice (although even then our babysitting resources are almost nonexistant). dinner and dancing? hell, i have been watching "dancing with the stars" faithfully, i am sure we would have kicked some ass on the dance floor. lol.

on edit: sparky is going to go and i am on kid duty. at least one of us will get to go.
