Life has a way of getting in the way, doesn’t it? I’m just glad to hear that your daughter is all right. I hope you get the transportation situation sorted out. And you have to fill me in on your travel plans!!

She's okay, though, right?

When the unexpected happens, you gotta roll with it. Decide if you really have to cancel the outings, or just put in a couple of extra hours on the work every night.

I sit down with a glass of wine and try to lay out Plans B, C, D, and E, just in case more goes awry.

And then, sometimes, I find myself in Plan F or G instead, made up on the spot.

Those who are adaptable survive. Those who aren't -- don't. I prefer survival.

Well, I say you just have to go with it. My husband broke both of his hands in a car accident a couple of months ago. This was only 2 weeks after I had a c-section with baby number 3 (so not good timing).
I hear that beer is good for breast milk and I may have had 1 or 2 with that in mind :)

Thanks, Michele. I agree – everyone’s fine. It’s a minor inconvenience. The best approach is to take it in stride. Can’t change what’s happened, can we?

Aw :'(

So sorry, Lori, but I'm thankful your daughter wasn't injured. That's what is most important, although having a messed up car and plans is important as well.

How do I handle things like this? Definitely relaxing herbal tea blends! Hope your tea helps you clear your head and catch your "second wind".

*smiles, hugs, and blessings*
