A Little Miscommunication

Aunt Joan (the nice lady who watches Brianne every day) is great about giving us plenty of notice with things when it comes to Brianne - running low on diapers, needs more milk, etc. This especially applies to when she needs a vacation day (which is very rare). Normally, she sends me a note in addition to telling Marty when she needs something, as Marty has a tendency to forget things. I can't blame him, as he has a lot on his plate, and he's never forgotten to tell me something important in relation to Brianne... until earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Marty had a breakfast meeting, so I worked from home so I could take Brianne to Joan's in the morning. I normally leave the house around 8:30am when I have to drop Brianne off. At 8am, Joan called our house, and when I picked up, she asked me if Marty remembered about today. I promptly said "remember what?"

Joan needed a personal day and couldn't watch Brianne, something Marty had neglected to tell me. And the best part is that she told Marty two weeks ago. So we had to keep Brianne home with us all day, which wasn't a big deal, however, if I had known 2 weeks ago, I may have been able to make alternate arrangements.

Moving forward, Joan will be texting and/or calling me, in addition to telling Marty.
