Krampus, I'm sure meeting the family will go fine! Just remember, if you haven't been to a Passover seder before, that you're not supposed to eat the food on the table until after the ceremony is over (except for the parts where they make you eat specific things).

Megan, we are still waiting for a call from the person who would actually stay with Carter. It is taking long enough I'm starting to second guess this person's business. I want my sitter to respond to me within 24 hours for any contact I initiate.

JESSICA my step-d, a receptionist at a cat hospital, has been asked to work for a pet sitter. She is still thinking about it....wish I could send here over....she is great with dogs.

SAEF I love your post. I know what you are saying, there are people in my extended family that handle pain very well and others that whine at a sniffle...nobody likes a whiner!

KRAMPUS have a great time. My high school girlfriend was Jewish and Passover was a very interesting and educating time at her house and synagogue. I always had a great time. And she as well at my house on Easter Sunday.

MEGAN I love that...3 sides to every story :-)
