Mom of 4 = Dependability

I did something recently that a day later made me question my sanity.

I answered an ad on Craigs*list.

Someone was asking for a ‘photographer’ at a birthday party and since I enjoy taking pictures and am in need of a new camera because of Son #1, any extra cash will help with that purchase.

After emailing and saying I was interested in helping out I started questioning how wise of a decision that was. At that point I didn’t know...

a) where the party was, or

b) anyone that was attending, or

c) if there was a mass-murderer involved.

You know, the little details...

I started a string of emails back and forth with the lady who had posted the ad and ended up calling her to talk ‘in person’. She was a little wary of the whole Craigs*list too, but rather relieved after getting my emails and some links to pictures I’d taken on my blog. She had several other emails from some local college kids, but decided to ask me instead.

Why? Because I was a mom with four kids {and apparently there is a level of sanity in that}.

The humorous part? She was worried that one of the college kids might get a better offer on a Saturday night…but knew that I, as a mom of 4, would most likely be ready to escape help out. I got ‘hired’ because I’m a mom.

All I have to say is ~ I’ll be there. And depending on my day, I might even be early!
