OMG...things are crazy. Drama. I hate drama. Kate is still in the hospital. No diagnosis as yet. She informed us this morning that she is unsure of the trip, but still wants to go. She is the photographer. I called my future SIL and asked about his sister, who is also a photographer. She has said she will not do it....I pray she will agree to step up if we need her. What else can we do at this point?
poor penguins : (
And to top that off I have an appointment with my doc this afternoon with mild symptoms of a UTI AGAIN. I am stressing today, which won’t help my own body.
oh wow! does Kate have any suggestions? she does realize that if she can’t go she will be leaving you in the lurch in a HUGE way, and potentially screwing over your daughter?
