A Zoo Invite

The Mini had an appointment for repair today. So I planned a trip to the zoo instead of always utilizing babysitters.  And it seemed like a good time to do a zoo trip.  Last minute I invited Cassie.  She turned me down flat because she had a lot of stuff to do today.  Say what?  She is homeless, has no job, has no responsibilities.......and yet she is too busy to spend the day with her kids.  We are again stretching out the time in between visits and it makes me sad.  Makes me sadder to know she is still doing all the normal Cassie things and seems to be trying to figure out how to get to Indiana to be with David.  What about the little kids?
