Your Last Random Act of Kindness
Hmmmmm. Well, it's a small one - to me anyway. But I guess it depends on your perspective. I had a kid free afternoon b/c my kids were at a play date. A few weeks earlier my bf told me she was going away for the weekend and she had asked me if her hubby wasn't home in time would I be able to watch her twins? I said sure. But I didn't hear anything back after that so I totally forgot about it. Didn't think about it again honestly. I'm a planner so I nail things down way ahead of time, especially if I know they are set plans, you know?
So, we're at our hair appt and all of a sudden I hear her talking about how I am going to drive her to the T station and then take her boys for the afternoon. I was like huh?? I said Ummmm, I'm taking the boys today?? She said yes, I thought you said you'd watch them for me when I went away to VT for the weekend until hubby comes home? I said yes, 3 wks ago I said sure, I'd do it if you need me to but I never heard back again! LOL!! She said oh! Whooops! LMAO! She said you are so organized that I didn't think you'd need reminding. I said no, I normally don't but you said you might not even need me b/c N might be getting home from work early or whatnot. To be fair, she's pregnant and I blame baby brain!
So, I had NO kids of my own from 11:30a to 5:30p but I took on 4 yr old twins for the day b/c my bf was going out of town. I guess that would be my last random act of kindness because that was only two weeks ago. It's a small thing to me but to her it was a big deal - giving up my free afternoon to take care of her boys. I love those two like my own though so it was okay. We had a great day. :-)
