not a wine-tasting weekend

BB's daycare is on hiatus for two weeks while the daycare lady is on summer vacation. Brother and his wife sent out an urgent SOS for childcare help. My parents came up last weekend, BB's mom's parents came up during the week, and my parents are up again this weekend (Friday to Monday). They were like "wanna come with?" and I said sure.

This makes me think of some drama I overheard on the train ride home on Tuesday. A woman (let's call her A) was on the phone, regaling her friend and the entire train car with the tale of how she ended her friendship with another woman (call her B). This is why I normally take the quiet car. Anyway, A and B had planned to go to a wine tasting together, but then B said she couldn't make it because she was babysitting C's son. "Wonder who put her up to that??" A said. So A sent B a message saying have a good life, we are no longer friends henceforth, do not contact me any more, etc. Yikes. Harsh.

Anyway, I called off raid this weekend because I'm helping babysit my brother's son, byee! Thursday was a long day of zigzag travel: left the house at 1:40 pm, took the commuter rail north to take the Amtrak south to hop in Mom's van and drive north to brother's place that very night. We arrived a couple minutes before midnight. (Somehow I managed 18k steps despite all that.) BB woke up the next morning to find the house full of people to play with. woooow. exciting times in the life of lil guy
