the israel rush

This week has been hectic.

Golda's family is all coming next week. We had a time sharing arrangment with goldas cousin yoili for her grandmother. She'll be here for 2 weeks, they get her for a week and we get her for a week. But then, but then yoilis fatherinlaw died. Now they are all sitting shiva when bubby gets here. So we suggested sending bubby to goldas brother, but they only have one available room because the baby just learned how to sleep in her own room and they don't want to unlearn her for a week.
So I said well then I'll go down and pick her up and we won't do any timesharing. Except that golda had already called her mother who called bubby who called the other aunt (yoilis mom) who's going to be here at the same time who called goldas mom and suddenly there are issues.
Its a funny soap because people are getting all hung up about a non-issue.
I proposed 3 options.
1) Yoilis parents can do with her what they will, they'll be here a couple days before and its really their turn. So I felt that was fair.
2) If they couldn't handle it because of the death and all, we would still try and be fair and give her to benji, but then she might have to stay in a hotel for 2 nights. We didn't know if that would work or not.
3) If none of the other options worked, I'd drive down pick her up from the airport, do a shiva visit, a visit to the wailing wall and then hop on over to maalot.

Such is the current Zacks soap opera.
