A difficult day ahead

To say that I'm not looking forward to the rest of today is a serious understatement. There are no protocols that I know for negotiating the return of Jessica. What would you do? Get the children to make Mother's Day cards? Yes, it is Mothering Sunday today! Cook a roast dinner? Ask her if she had a good time? I just don’t know so I am copping out of the encounter by taking the children to see my own aged mum and dad. We can come home late and, hopefully, she can have done her washing and taken a bath. As usual, I am surrendering the initiative!
