I like to always have a plan B, but rarely do I have a plan C. Today we needed one. We had our babysitter set up to watch the girls tonight while we went out to dinner. On Thursday she cancelled. So, I called in a favor to one of my friends and she more than stepped up to the plate. She also offered to leave work early and looked up movie times for us because she insisted we go see a movie too, she sent me a coupon for popcorn and told us to have the whole afternoon and evening while she watched the kids.
But, last night Chloe started getting sick. By this morning she had a 100.8 fever, she can't breath out of her nose and everytime she sneezes we have to sanitize the 10 foot space around her.
So, I called Melissa and told her thanks, but no thanks. It may only be a sinus issue which both girls get often, but it could also be a cold and I can't do that to her or her kids.
Now we've spent the morning trying to come up with a new plan. The new plan looks like I'll be having coffee at 5 so I can stay up past 9. The kids in bed by 8 and Mark and I enjoying a steak dinner he cooks on the grill after the munchkins are down and out. Light some candles, pour some wine and try to enjoy our 7th anniversary.
Sigh.
