Well the first day of babysitting went well. No meltdowns on either side. SuperChic and JJ got along fabulously. The biggest problem we had was getting them to leave the bedroom door open.

They were very cute together. While in the car they announced that they were going to get married. After that the only time they were separate was if one of them was in the bathroom.  They even shared a goodnight kiss. But don’ttell anyone because it’s a secret.

So today we’re making a cheesecake, cleanin’ house and getting ready to go camping. We’re even taking JJ with us. Since his mom has to be at work at 5am on Saturday it works perfectly. It even covered her and her husband’s babysitting needs for their date night tonight.

It’s going to be one crazy day today.

Oh, I almost forgot. I even finished one of my knitting projects last night.

Tomorrow starts the adventures of babysitting. One of the girls I worked with at THD has been having a problem with her recent babysitter and I said I’d be willing to watch JJ.

I hope things go well. JJ is usually a pretty good kid and how bad can it be, right? I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Shawn has really been wanting me to go back to work for about 20 hours a week. Now, hopefully, I won’t have to. Though I don’t know how much I’ll get for watching JJ.

I let her figure out what she thought was fair. Unlike her other sitter I’m not asking to be paid a flat rate per week no matter how many hours I have JJ. I mean, who wants to pay a sitter for a day that you or the kid is sick and not at their house. I sure don’t. So our agreement is that I get paid for the days that I watch him. This also allows for weeks where she only works 12 hours.

The biggest advantage for her is that I’m willing to watch him on weekends. You can’t work retail and have a sitter that doesn’t work weekends.

So, tomorrow I’m considering my self employed, sort of. If I survive the day, I’ll post about it. Not that there will be anything interesting to post about.

Oh, and in the works is a post about how Shawn and I met. (Inspired by BethanyActually.)
