I had mentioned before that there was a group of girls who started a babysitting business called “The babysitter’s club” in my neighborhood. Too cute. A few months back, they came by and gave us a flyer of their services.
I decided I want to test them out to see how they are. If they do work out, it’d be great for *when* I have to fill orders, design or maybe do a quick errand. I called about 4 numbers on the flyer and I got what sounded like an 7-yr-old saying “oh I’m helping my aunt clean right now I promise to call right back” (they never called back), a VM with rap music, another VM that really didn’t make me want to leave a message, and a hang up after I asked if they still have the “babysitter’s club”. Well so much for young entrepreneurship. I was so proud of them too… walking door to door with such a convincing speech. Ehh what was I expecting? They’re just kids.
Sigh… how disappointing, they were kind of like a light at the end of the tunnel for when I need a break. Hmm… now I gotta look for plan B, whatever that is. Looks like it’s gonna be just me in the daytime for a while.

Too bad we weren’t closer, we could swap babysitting time. I have the same issue here but add the fact that we are out in the country.

and it’s been too hot to walk to the park. boy, you must be busy with 2 girls. hopefully girls are less rambunctious (sp?) than boys.
