Joph and I have to drop off Jr. at his mother's this weekend, and I'm kind of depressed about it.

Poor Junior. What woke her up?
Oh, he's happy enough about it. The kid's pretty equable, considering. I give Joph a lot of credit for that.
His grandmother was in town from England a few months ago and since she was essentially the caretaker back when she lived here and he hadn't seen anyone from there since the 2 years Grandma moved, we went out of our way to make sure he saw her by hauling *** to IN on a Friday and driving her to Chicago so they could spend what amounted to 80% of a day together before her flight left from O'Hare.
When we went to pick grandma up, it was at her house, and she seemed to take an interest, to the point where she presented him with a huge Easter basket and stuffed frog and asked him to hug her goodbye. She then emailed asking about taking him for the summer, and, after much juggling and the usual rigamarole on her part, we're dropping him off and she's supposed to bring him back.
So in short, I'm not sure. Seeing her son tall and funny and knowing she wouldn't have to change diapers? Hearing how well he's doing here from her mother? I've given up trying to make sense of her. I hope his going is for the best and she'll wake up to what she's missing out on, but odds amongst both the families point towards it lasting maybe a month before she makes up some excuse to pawn him off.
