Life gets in the way!

Oh how true it is! Let's face it, we have all had those wonderful plans to have an amazing break from our kids and look forward to and plan for months, then BAM! Something happens, and it all goes out the door! Whether it's a date night with the hubby,  girls night out or even a vacation, it's always disappointing and kind of a let down right?
I am the type of Mom who is never away from my daughter, she won't stay with anyone but Daddy or my parents so I'm very limited to the breaks I do get. She is the baby, so yes, it's partly my fault lol But I honestly hardly feel the need to be apart from her. Recently I had planned a girls getaway with a fellow Mom for five whole days and let me tell you it was ALL I could think about! Dreaming of sleeping in, not having to cook or clean, just relax and enjoy. I'd spent money on new clothes, shoes, and was counting down the days!
Of course nothing ever goes to plan, and the inevitable happened....sickness hit my parents house and I now had no one to watch my youngest.
At first I was angry, let me clarify, not at my family for getting sick, but at fate, for ruining my awesome plans! But as the evening came I felt more sad, let down, then sorry for myself, yep, I totally went there haha Why me? I never get away! I might as well have went to the garden to go eat worms I was wallowing in it so deep.
As my hubby walked in the door, looking like death, white as a sheet, collapsing on the couch he was so darn sick I had an "Ahhhh" moment.
As much as I was upset my plans went out the door, this wonderful man who works his butt off daily, in frigid temperatures, fighting the flu, needed me. And all the sudden, it didn't matter anymore :)
There is a reason for everything, I truly believe that,  and as I snuggle my toddler tight tonight and take care of my hubby, I know, and feel, like all is ok in my world. One day when my babies are all grown, and don't need me anymore, I will miss all this, and will probably have too much time on my hands, endless breaks, so I'm going to embrace what happened, accept life threw a curve ball, and treasure what I do have right here <3
