The playpen sounds like a good idea,
Dogged - could you maybe use it at home too?
kittykatt, thanks for reminding me that I need to email DBD's neurologist for a refill for her epilepsy meds!
Make plans... and all that jazz. Yesterday's plans were totally hijacked by DH coming home late and with a bumper-crashed car. The person in front of him slammed breaks, so did he, but the woman behind him was a bit too late. I am hoping there will be no insurance problem (they didn't sign anything on spot, because it was a very dangerous place to be stuck in, just exchanged names, phone numbers and snapped a couple photos). Worse come to worst, DH's car has collision insurance, but we've already filed a claim with the other driver's liability insurance (she just has to confirm she was at fault). Nobody was hurt, and the car is still drivable (his is a sturdy Volvo SUV - her poor low-rise BMW was not so lucky), but it's extra time and effort that this will take to solve!
Today's plans are off the window because I forgot DBD's school was closed today due to teachers' training or something. Would have been nice if her homeroom teacher let us know by email or something (it is on the school year's schedule, I do remember reading it, but I haven't had time to note down schedules from all of the three schools yet), but at least DBD did tell me yesterday when I was trying to make her do homework for today
Anyway, there goes my quiet Friday when I planned on getting things done, but I live by the rule of improvise, adapt, overcome!
