I too am retired and babysit a 2 year old for a friend of mine. She is adorable but very active at this age. She is alot of fun, I'm realizing how much her mother is missing out on each day. I am also supposed to be babysitting her new brother in a few months....that will be a challenge taking care of two. I sometimes think, omg, I am too old for this. But it does keep me young at heart and also it is a needed job to supplement my income since retirement sure doesn't provide much.
Quilting, sewing....a thing of the past during the week, have to do those projects on weekends only. Good luck and bless you. It is tiring, though isn't it?
