Yeah, kids are unpredictable
So I'm at the shoot since 8:45a. They just took him like 5 min ago. We're in a giant mansion they rent out but with the people's stuff who live here still in it. At any given time during this, There are 8-10 kids of varying ages in here- we are in a kid's giant bedroom with the kids stuff just sort of partitioned away. But still visible. So my kid is freaking out that he can't play with the toys. He clocked me in the face once because I was trying to get him away. He shiit twice which he never does and I only had three diapers.
I have the mom sweats like you can't believe. Thank god they took him- the lady came to get him & he jumped up, ran to her & didnt say goodbye. At least he gets paid by the hour.
Re: Yeah, kids are unpredictable
Oh man, that sounds rough. Been there. I hate the mom sweats.
i had the mom sweats at this indoor bouncy house place this weekend. it was a kids' birthday party and the mom is cooler than me, so all of her other mom friends are cooler than me, so i was trying not to be an ahole, and then my kid kept flipping out and bossing me around because there were so many things to do that seemed fun (bounca house! bounca slide! bounca house! bounca slide!!!!!!) she didn't know what to do first and nearly melted down and definitely hit me.
omg. i wanted to die.
were we at the same party?
were you calmly watching your children play normally while an overly chatty, sweaty dark-haired woman was chasing a small, blonde, blue-eyed shedevil?
God the mom sweats are so awful. I had them this morning. I had to wrestle Maggie into her shoes and then the carseat to get her to school this AM (She's constantly protesting it these days) I was exhausted and frazzled before I even got to work. Hope E performs like the star he is.
No I was the large pregnant woman who went through the inflated maze with her toddler and got stuck in a vertical tube.
god, i wish we'd been at the same party. the moms were cool and nice, and i felt like such a tool. it was like middle school all over again, except i just turned 35 and should be over that nonsense by now.
The performing part is easy. He loves that part. And hot gay guys love him and want his clothes so they were entertaining him down by the shoot area. I know this because when we were all leaving they were giving him high fives & knew him by name. There were at least 20 kids in and out while I was there. It was the holding pen waiting area part that blows.
His call time was 8:45. If they actually took you when you had to be there it would be a cake walk. And it was for the Huggies wipes box. So you might see E's face when wiping your kid's ass or in the diaper aisle in Target (or wherever)
Bonus was not having to drive into the city, they had food and I can still make my nail appointment
I am not going to quote, other than give a big ditto to the whole thing.
Seriously, all the mom's were so stylish and cool and then instead of being stuck up they were sweet as pie.
They wore these fancy coordinated outfits and just watched their kids frolic while I heaved myself and my maternity banded pants over the steps of these contraptions while sliding back and forth and revealing said maternity band.
i'm not pregnant, but i had on a stretchy belt, in an effort to be stylish and cool, and with all of the chasing and jumping and heaving, i had to keep readjusting it 10k times because i couldn't take off my cardigan because i was certain my tshirt had pitstains and likely boobsweatstains and the belt was the only thing holding it shut (it's one of those flyaways).
i will also think of lightingstoreboy (i'm sorry, i don't know his name) whenever i see huggies. and i love that the gays loved him. ha.
