We returned home at noon to a house still standing, kids still alive, and the stand-in mommies not reluctant to relinquish their duties.
For the first time that I remember in a very long time, it's Saturday afternoon and I feel really good! Dare I say, I even feel a bit energetic!
Our contestants earned points for such things as:
- putting kids to sleep
- diaper changes
- feeding
- Bi-lingual story hour
- waking up at 6am
- cleanup
But, had points DEDUCTED for such things as:
- "colorful" language in the vicinity of small ears
- poor swaddling job
- Nellie neglect
- forgetting diaper ointment
- burning waffles
- recapping the teen drama "One Tree Hill"
Honorable mentions went to:
Nellie; 10 points for not being TOO annoying
Marcus; 15 points for being so smiley
Lydia; 20 points for choosing the Veggie Tales video featuring the "Barbara Manatee" silly song with Larry (Jess' all-time favorite silly song)
The final tally calculation crowned Sunny the winner by a hair. We are currently accepting applications for the next episode. If interested, please send your resume and short video on why YOU have what it takes to be a Mommy.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU Sunny and Jess for making this a possibility. And special kudos to my wonderful husband who saw my need and found a way to make it happen.

I feel like I should point out to those who don't know that Nellie is a dog, not a person! haha. Great job with the documentation Ann-marie!
Good point Sunny! Last thing I need is Czech child protective services to come a-knockin'. Although, now that word is out that my dog may be "neglected", I may be in MORE danger with Czech authorities!!! Kids are one thing... but dogs tend to rank just a wee bit higher on the totem pole of Czechdom!
I am so glad you got to "sleep-in" for a change ! Thanks to your friends who helped you out !
