My husband has just left me. I have 4 kids and 2 dogs. One of my kids reads books a lot. Ice cream is my favorite. I am struggling. I don't have much money.
I just got laid off from my job. I worked in accounting. I eat ice cream when I'm sad. I live with my family. I have some free time right now. I am available to babysit or dogsit. I have family nearby who I do things with. My family helps me.
I called about a job I saw in the paper and I have an interview so I may need to take you up on that babysitting offer.  I'm happy to help out! That's exciting; what sort of job are you interviewing for? I'd be a receptionist for a law office. Not exactly what I'd choose, but I've got to get on my feet. Would you be able to babysit on Wednesday afternoon? Wednesday afternoon would be fine! I'm sure it will be a good fit. My friend was skeptical of her law office gig, but now she loves it! Is the office in a good part of town? It's in a good area. It's a very small firm, though. I'm not sure what the going rate for babysitters is these days. Would $10/hour be fair? $10/hour is fine, especially if you could afford to spare some ice cream haha. In all seriousness, that rate works for me! Definitely have the ice cream! I expect I'll be gone an hour and a half or two. The interview is at 1:30. How's your job search going? It's been rough, but I'm sticking with the search. In the mean time, I'm starting an online store to sell things I find at garage sales. This family garage sale has inspired me! That's a great idea! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help get it off the ground. I love going to garage sales, and estate sales, too. I'll let you know! If it grows legs, maybe we could collaborate on it. I doubt it will make millions, but it might be a nice side income source. You never know! I've had luck finding some great antiques and vintage kitchenware that sells for big bucks on Etsy. That's awesome! Have there been any standout finds? My parents are selling this old regulator clock that's really cool! It's exactly the kind of thing I'll be looking to sell on my online store.
