Katie and Tony are going to Vegas and they have a 13 yr old and a 17 yr old. Katie said they do pretty well on their own but she thinks she needs someone with them for a few days for 'oversight' so....she has hired Emily! Yup...thats right...Em will be babysitting. The kids know that Em knows their rules and routines and that she will be quick to call Katie if anything is amiss. But I love the text message that Katie shared with me concerning the upcoming event....
Fwd: I asked emily for a list of what she needs when she babysits! Fwd: Here is my list
diet cokes sinkinng cows frozen meils
coolers lihgt yogurts
I still just love Emily's lists...but most of all I love what she thinks is essential to her job. LOL

That's awesome! Love her list! Kathleen is a huge list maker. She makes lists for everything. Her lists fill at least one side of a paper sometimes even on the back side. Can't wait to ehar about ehr experience.

the job is next weekend...I had originally been on tap to go...and really looking forward to it because I had hoped to go to Rachel Simon's (Riding the Bus with My Sister, and The Story of Beautiful Girl) book signing as well. But sometimes plans just don't work out. And it turns out the kids will really be too busy to spend much time with a grandma...Remember Em lived with them for almost 5 years so its always fun for her to get to go 'home' for a few days. She loves their cat and dog too. I am sure it will all go fine but the Mama in me worries...not sure I would leave an almost 17 yr old alone...but he's a great kid and on a good path so guess it will be fine. He is in Lawrence KS this weekend making his first 'college day' visit with Marnie and Sompop at U of Kansas. And their neighbors across the cul de sac are like second family ...nothing will go unnoticed...LOL. And Em is also a great tattler.

disappointed the sitter is not me...I had wanted to go because this weekend Rachel Simon (Riding the Bus with my Sister and The Story of Beautiful Girl) was going to be in Austin for a book signing. I met Rachel years ago and she and Marnie have done a sibs workshop together at the NDSC. But...it just couldn't be worked out.

update on the babysitting...plans have changed. Marnie and Sompop are going to be relocating (slowly) to Austin and are visitng this weekend to apartment hunt. They will also be staying at Katie's so it will just be a 'sib fest'. Relieved as grandson has apparently revived a toxic relationship with an old girl friend and Katie was planning to just stay home because of it. But with Aunt Marnie and Aunt Emily on the scene all should be well!!!!

I think they have all had a ball...Marnie's flight was cancelled yesterday so she got an extra day and Katie is now home from Vegas so for a few hours all three should be making merry. I think Emily has had a wonderful few days. Warms my heart to think of them all there together....a bit jealous too...LOL
