Soooo irritated!

Ok so I'm flying off to my grandmother's funeral at 7am tomorrow.  We don't have a regular sitter right now so I placed an ad so DH could have a little bit of a break each day I'm gone.

Found someone with a killer resume, she came over tonight and met us and the kids.  We loved her!  Andrew started off " I dont' want a babysitter, I don't like babysitter ect"  Total Mr. Crabby Pants, but by the time we showed her the backyard he was soooo into it and after she left he was all sad that he forgot to show her their room.

Sooooo I *just* got an email " sorry but I have to go out of town tonight and wont' be able to make it.  Keep me in mind for the future".  Akkkk, so I know stuff comes up but I guess I'm feeling a little like it sounded more like hey I got a fun offer for the weekend so I don't want to stick around for 4-5 hours of babysitting.  Which the part of me that remembers being 20 something totally gets but the mama who's kiddo cried himself to sleep while attached to me like a barnacle while telling me over and over how much he is going to miss me is really PO'd that now I had to email someone else and my not so flexible, sad his mama is gone kiddo is going to have some stranger show up ( I hope) instead of the girl he was expecting.

And yes DH will survive if he has to go it alone but I know I wouldn't be thrilled to face down those two all alone for a couple days.

I am so sorry about your grandmother.

Thankfully kids are flexible and if the new person is fun and playful...DS may just forget all about the 1st girl.

Have a safe flight.

Ugh, I'm so sorry that the sitter fell through. You are a much nicer wife than I - I'd just look at it as payback for all the times DH leaves me alone with the kiddos. I know it's harder to leave without things in order, but your boys will probably do better than you expect (mine always seem to). Have a safe trip.

I'm really sorry about your grandma   I hope the person you email is available and your kids love him/her.

J, I am so sorry.  I know that my boy would not do well with a switch like that and likely neither will yours.  You so don't need that headache on top of dealing with a funeral.  That sucks.  I hope things work out better than we expect.  

C had a really hard time staying with my mom, whom he knows and adores, while we were at the rosary last week.  He handled the funeral and that day really well and I was so proud of him.  It was still a rough week though -- we messed with our schedule so much and it through us all for a loop.

Thinking of you.
