Well, there goes my camera money
I was supposed to watch the neighbor's kid for three days this week. She pays me the same amount she would pay for drop in day-care, which is a wonderfully insane amount of money to receive, in addition to having a little person who enjoys Jamie's personal brand of torment. I get a break *and* cash, what could be better?
Normally, I watch the kid kind of last minute, when the nanny is sick or decides to take a vacation day. This time, I had several weeks notice and had been working my schedule around being stuck around the house. (I'm not crazy enough to take three kids to the grocery store, especially when one of them isn't mine.)
About half an hour after the neighbor usually drops the kid off, I got a call from her saying that her mother came into town and she wouldn't need me at all.
Well, shit.
No money, no playmate and no plans for the next few days.
