Ever since I’ve moved back to the area my Husband’s been begging me to go on one of his work trips. I promised once I settled our daughter into a pre school and organized our new house I would. Well here’s the problem, I’d love some alone time with my guy it’s just that I’m too nervous to leave the baby overnight with a babysitter. I know she’s two and it’s just one weekend, but I’m not sure I could be comfortable with someone else running my show… especially when that someone else is my sister, Heather. Don’t get me wrong, Heather is a great Mom- for her kids. I bet she’ll bake the tastiest cake with the sharpest file for her son’s future reform school. He’s not a bad kid, but my sister is very permissive. Her kids drink soda, and not just at birthdays. She counts fruit roll ups as an actual fruit and the television is always on and it’s not PBS. She would be really mad if I didn’t ask her to baby-sit first. She’s always maintained the right of first refusal whether it’s my daughter or my wardrobe. I just know she’ll give her fast food just to spoil my totally organic streak. She’s just dying to let her go to the playground with out anti bacterial hand wipes and prance around in a poly cotton blend. I’ve got it, I’ll send Heather on the work trip and I’ll stay home. At least her kids will be germ free for 48 hours and my husband will have someone to play pool with.
