Why do the kids get sick when we have plans?

This past weekend we had plans with friends, plans to go to synagogue and basically planned to not be at home much at all. I was looking forward to it (as we all were). So Saturday morning when I noticed that Sam's eyes were a bit swollen and recalled an email from her preschool about pink eye, I was very disappointed (again, as we all were). We thankfully got to the doctor right away in the morning and got the drops, but ended up quarantined in the house all weekend. It seems a little early in the season to be this stir crazy!
Whatever is unexpected will usually happen and what do you do? You deal with it. The lesson is the only thing that you can control is how you deal with it. Make it fun or make it miserable for yourself. We dealt with it by rearranging the living room to make a gigantic fort, decorating Hanukkah cookies, lots of reading and games. It turned out to be a very silly weekend!


Hmmm... life is messy, but it sure is good!
