Don't remind me about babysitting costs. It about killed me to go on the cruise to Alaska for supposedly 8 days at $20 per day. When Cindy got sick and spent another 7 days in the hospital do ya think the lady watching the dog would give us a discount? No way she said! Needless to say the dog ain't going back to her ever! Fortunately my oldest daughter is going to be able to watch the day for the convention. I guess watching her kid for 2 days a week for the last 4 years finally paid off.
