Picture the scenario...Rob, Jack and I were relaxing over the end of a nice dinner last night when the phone rang. No big deal, right? Oh no. Our wonderful day care provider who NEVER gets sick had been throwing up all evening. Well, stuff happens, go to Plan B. Rob will stay home with the baby, work out of the house and I'll go to work. Problem--Rob has back-to-back meetings all day for the gigantic housing conference he is hosting Saturday through Tuesday. He can't possibly stay home! OK, Plan C. I'll call in for a substitute teacher. Happens all the time, right? Problem--I was scheduled to take my class on a tour of the Reagan Library! This is way beyond just writing sub plans! Plan D, my mom has come through more than once to get us out of a scheduling snafu, we'll call her. Problem--she won't be back from Houston until Saturday. Plan E...oh for the love of God! Who has a plan E!?!?!?
Well, we managed to survive. As it turned out, my teaching partner took our class to Reagan Library, my sub took the class she was supposed to be teaching and Jack and I met them all at the library. Jack had fun touring Airforce1, eating lunch with the students and playing with all those big kids at the park! He has been napping for 2 hours now, so we might take a field trip every day!!
It's good to remember...everything will be OK in the end. And if it's not OK, it's not the end! Have a great day!

Hi Shannon--
ReplyDeletePlan -?- could have been to call Jennifer. You might not be ready for strangers to baby-sit but it would have been an option. Then again, it sounds like Jack got to do the cool thing and see Air Force One--I'm definitely jealous with that.
