So… Wanna hear something uber-weird?

I think I might be starting a home daycare business.

It has to do with a severe cash shortage and a pretty short list of skills that are highly marketable. Like, I have some skills, and they are kind of marketable, but I cannot use them to earn cash immediately. Like tomorrow.

I’m actually a little jittery about it, for reasons I can’t exactly explain. I probably don’t have enough toys, but am relatively good at improvising. I read through the state’s requirements and would not be violating any laws. I guess my inner control-freak just can’t handle the idea of variables. Like, what if I get a kid who isn’t potty trained? What if I run out of activities before lunch? I kind of feel like I should have a more solid battle plan intact before I forge ahead. Like I should have forms and waivers and a printed-out lunch menu for three weeks in advance. I should have policies. And probably I should, but those also all seem like attempts at procrastination. And I don’t have time to procrastinate.

So I’m sorta-almost hoping the phone doesn’t ring.
