Kathryn))) -- That IS a tough call, for the wedding weekend, re:dgs... believe me, I feel your pain. This business of having no other family close by is a lot of trouble.
Oh how I love that we ARE close by -- I don't think I could hardly stand it if they didn't live close by! BUT... for example, now my Thursday is filled b/c ds just found out he is leaving at 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning, and ddil is working. My Friday would be filled, but dh's appt at the heart clinic has already been made, so we aren't going to try to change that.
DDIL said she was going to call a local daycare and see if they take drop-ins under any circumstances. (I will be surprised if they do.) DS & DDIL really can't afford -- and don't NEED -- full-time daycare... but my goodness, when it rains it pours. But they have at least two ladies that they can call and they trust, so surely one or the other will be available Friday.
And what if dmom gets dismissed from the hospital... Well... they're just going to have to keep her till ddil gets home from work, I guess...
But anyway -- party was nice. Dbil & dnephew came, and dgs was sooo excited about EVERYTHING. Bouncing off the ceiling excited... but we were happy that he was happy. He and dgd are both just crazy about dnephew, which is kinda unusual since they only see him a few times a year, and he is 27 years old, I think. (DS & DDIL threatened to leave the kids with him on Friday, LOL!)
Kitchen is cleaned up... laundry for today is done except for hanging up to dry (I'll wash dh's clothes tomorrow)... and I'm about ready to relax for a while.
