    Default A Little Extra $$$ *WOW! UPDATE AT END*

    So, yesterday, I taught my last piano lesson until September for these two girls who come to my house for piano/guitar lessons and then their mom pays me a little extra to watch them for an extra hour. Anyway, when the mom came to pick up the girls yesterday, she told me that they are going on vacation on Thursday, but she doesn't have childcare for M, T, or W. So, she asked if I'd be willing to come over (with Julia and Patrick, of course) in the afternoon on those days. She offered us use of her pool. She just doesn't want the girls alone all day. (They are going into 7th and 8th grade.) Easy money...very easy money, playmates for Julia and a pool! Can't beat it!

    That sounds like a great afternoon for everyone. Enjoy the pool, the kiddos and the extra $$$.

    Those extra $$ always come in handy. What a great way to make them.

    We're loving it! Of course, Julia fell in the pool today, but, luckily wasn't too frightened to try again. She is also exhausted at the end of the day, but it's nice to be out of the house! I'll be happy to get that check tomorrow!

    Wow! She paid me $10 an hour, which came to $180! She asked me to come back next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! $180 more! I totally didn't expect that much! Seriously, all we did was lay out and swim! Amazing!
