Umm, really?

I have been trying to come up with ways to make a little extra cash to pay off some of this college (and other) debt that we've accumulated. So I came up with this brilliant idea to post an add on Craig's List looking for babysitting/house sitting/pet sitting jobs.

Only a few days after posting, I got a call! A couple who live on Hutchinson Island (!!!) would like me to house sit/dog sit for 5 days in November. I was so excited. She asked me to come over this evening to meet them and the dogs. (This is pretty common, like an interview.) Everything was going really well, then they told me they would like to do background checks on Jay and I first... Umm, really???? I didn't know what to say. I have been babysitting/ house sitting/pet sitting for almost 10 years and this is the first time anyone has ever asked for copies of my husband and I's drivers licenses!!!! Now, I know this is probably very smart of them in this day and age, but I was just really caught off gaurd. What is this world coming to?!?!

Anyway, on the up side, they have a really nice house on the intercostal that I will enjoy staying in and 2 really cute dogs to play with... as long as they don't find out that I was convicted of murder a few years ago. KIDDING!!!

Hope your having a good week!
