Thanks Marci.
You know, you just gave me an idea. My mother in law is at home during the day--I could call her and see if she would come over to watch Lily. I'm sure she would love to come take care of her grandpuppy!
I know with this week being just an inservice week I can sneak home some after meetings and nobody would know the difference... but that definitely wouldn't work when the kids get back, so I'm thinking it might be better just to go ahead and have her done. I just called my husband too- he said he doesn't think he can get a day off right now.
I hate that Lily wasn't old enough/big enough to do this during July, but oh well.
