HEADS UP

  • Sunday. Sister Day starts at 2 PM but Amy doesn't arrive until 6 PM — this window has no confirmed kid coverage if Mardee is out. Decide now whether Kjael holds down the house or book a sitter for the gap.
  • Thursday. 25 PM) is at risk if Mardee's install appointment runs long — put Kjael on standby for that pickup explicitly.
  • Friday. 30 PM from hard meetings.

OPEN DECISIONS

3

  1. Sat

    Confirm gift or plan for Benny's birthday party (Saturday 3:30 PM) — Mardee — before Saturday

  2. Sun

  3. Fri

    Friday concert is a late night — confirm Amy's end time covers full evening through kids' bedtime — Kjael or Mardee — before Friday

DAY BY DAY

THURSDAY

November 12Partial Mardee's 2 PM install appointment overlaps Odie's 3:25 PM pottery pickup; confirm who handles pickup
2pmMardee has a hair/install appointment (Gin & Ken) — overlaps Odie pottery pickup at 3:25 PMWatch

Mardee's Gin & Ken Install is at 2 PM. Odie's Pottery & Painting class pickup is 3:25 PM. If the install runs long, pickup is at risk. Kjael's afternoon is WFH but confirm he can break for the 3:25 PM pickup or that Mardee is done in time.

FRIDAY

November 13Covered Amy confirmed from 6 PM for concert night; 1:30 PM haircut may need Kjael for a brief kid handoff
6pmBoth adults out for evening concert — Amy confirmed as sitter fromConfirmed
1:30pmMardee haircut — note flags Kjael may be neededWatch

Kjael and Mardee are both attending Bluebook / Pleasure Prince / The Still Tide at 7 PM. Amy is booked from 6 PM on the BB Sitters calendar — coverage is confirmed. Mardee also has a haircut at 1:30 PM; Kjael may be needed for kid coverage during that window. Calendar note says "might need dada." This lands during Odie's nap window (1–2 PM) and Mazzy's afternoon nap. If Kjael steps in, it's a brief WFH break — low friction, but needs to be on his radar so he doesn't schedule a hard meeting at 1:30 PM.

SATURDAY

November 14Clear Benny's birthday at 3:30 PM; no sitter needed if family attends together, but logistics and gift need to be confirmed
3:30pmBenny's Birthday partyWatch

Party is at 3:30 PM on Saturday. No sitter on the calendar — this is a family event, so both kids likely come along or one parent takes Odie. Confirm whether it's kids-welcome or drop-off, and get a gift sorted before Saturday.

SUNDAY

November 15Partial Amy confirmed from 6 PM for Uchiko dinner; 2–6 PM window during Sister Day has no listed coverage
2pmSister Day + Uchiko dinner at 6:15 PM — Amy covers from 6 PM, but 2–6 PM gap is unconfirmedWatch

Mardee has Sister Day starting at 2 PM. The Uchiko Denver dinner is at 6:15 PM for both adults. Amy is confirmed from 6 PM on the BB Sitters calendar, which covers the dinner. However, the 2–6 PM window (Sister Day) has no listed coverage — confirm whether Kjael is home with kids during that stretch or if another sitter is needed.
