My sister wants to go in on a big gift for DN's baby shower. I'm at a good place financially and wanted to spend a little more. Sis isn't this time. We got a great hotel rate. I am driving and probably won't spend that much since gas is so cheap. She is flying and renting a car so I understand her not wanting to spend as much. I don't want to out do her, I wouldn't mind paying a bigger part of the gift. I just need a way to do it without her knowing it....
Do it! You will have such a nice time. It will feel good to get away for a long weekend. You would take Monday off, right?
Yes, I'd take Monday off, but I wouldn't be able to leave until Saturday. In my job, we have to close the month, so i wouldn't be able to leave work early enough on Friday to make a flight

You buy it and tell her you got a really great deal on it?
Spent the morning in urgent care with my baby. He couldn't keep anything down and was becoming dehydrated. They gave him meds to settle his stomach and now he's getting a dropper ful of pedialyte every 5 mins.
Poor thing! DId they say what he has?
They just said a stomach bug.
Bonny I hope he feels better soon and you are able to rest as you need to in order to take care of him. Speedy recovery to the cute little dude.

Sounds like the Flu. Pedialyte is good.
For an alternative, get some regular (real) coca cola, and pour a few ounces back forth between two glasses to get the carbonation out.
The sugar helps for energy, and my kids were good with it.

I have a plan. We go in on something big and I say I am having a basket made and lie about what it cost.
