We hired a babysitter for last night so we could go out to dinner, hit a couple of bars, and then go to norae bang. We went to the duck restaurant with Jaynie & Hyunjung which everyone loved (even I liked it and anyone who knows me knows that I am a picky eater!). We met Mijung at Mama's and then we went down to norae bang where Sabunim and his friends joined us. It was fun going with Craig (and his mom & sister) since I usually just go with my girlfriends. We sang a few duets including Copacabana and Midnight Train to Georgia. I had promised Corrine & Anita that we'd be back by midnight since they were having a hard time staying up all week anyway (and Anna & Sarah still needed someone to take care of them in the morning so that's my personal curfew as well).
We got home at about 12:05 and what did I see when I got to the bottom of the stairs? Sarah's blinding overhead light on in her room (we never use this light because it is truly awful and not fit for a bedroom but an operating room). So the babysitter (a woman probably in her mid-40s?) is holding Sarah on the chair with this horrible light on. I took Sarah and turned off the light. I think Sarah was just zoned out because usually she's sleeping at midnight! I realized I probably stunk of cigarette smoke from the bar so I wouldn't provide much comfort to Sarah in what I was wearing so I set her down in her crib and she went back to sleep without any fussing. The babysitter told Craig that Sarah woke up at 11. So she had been up for an hour, I guess. Throughout the night Sarah did cry out and I went in one more time. I think she must have had gas because the cry did sound uncomfortable and I don't blame the babysitter for going in if Sarah's cry sounded like what I heard! I just don't get how the lady sat there in Sarah's room for an hour and didn't notice that there is a lamp on the table across from the chair with significantly softer lighting (if you have to have a light on)...
