I have a job

Well, I got job on Friday. I bet you weren’t expecting that were you? I wasn’t either. Here’s how it happened….

Before this school year started I was thinking of maybe taking a daycare kid before and after school. I mean, I’m already getting a kid on and off the bus everyday, it seems like a fairly simple way to make some extra money. What really stopped me is the after school thing. By the time my daughter gets home, my husband is home from work, and it’s just chaotic. A lot of times I have errands to run and stuff to do and really I don’t feel like adding another kid to the mix. Plus, if the parent doesn’t get off work til five then the kid won’t leave until six and that is way too late. I don’t think I could handle it.

Last Friday I walked out to the bus stop, which is pretty much directly in front of my house, and there is a new mom. And yes, our bus stop is so typical, the moms stand in a little group and gossip. So I walk up and the other mom introduces me to the new mom, she tells me that they just moved into the neighborhood and is looking for someone to watch her son before school and get him to the bus.

I mean if the job is going to literally come to my front door then how can I turn it down? It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing anyways, and there isn’t any after school stuff. Just an hour before school. I should be able to handle that. The only change to my routine will be that I have to get up 20 minutes earlier than I do now. Which if you know me then you know its a big deal. But hey, it’s only 20 minutes, right?

She is going to pay me $25 a week and $10 extra on half days, since I will also have him from 12:30 to 3:00 those days. I think it’s worth $100 a month, and it helps out a neighbor.
