I was just sitting here, eating delivery pizza and pondering whether I wanted to pick up the toys first or strip Dylan’s bed, when the doorbell rang. (I’m wearing my pj boxers and a tank top. So what. That’s what you get when you knock on my door after six.)

It was the fire chief’s daughter from down the street, the children’s FAVORITE babysitter, holding a foil-wrapped plate. “I made some cookies because I was bored, and thought you might like some. They’re chocolate chip and snicker doodles, but I’m not sure if that’s what you like.” “Are you kidding?” I gushed, “They’re everyone’s favorites!” (And I forgive you for not returning my calls the last two times I offered a lucrative gig.)
