Melia now has a low fever, so I will not be going with Gabe to Seattle. I know this is just a small thing in the midst of life, and I'm not really mad, just brokenhearted. I was looking forward to our night away for so long, especially knowing that life will just get busier and it's not like it's easy to get away alone as it is anyway.
He is going over to spend the night before his meeting tomorrow, even though he doesn't need to, because priceline isn't refundable/transferable. So I will have his report back to you about how we felt it worked. Meanwhile, we are trying to make the best of it, cleaning and organizing our pantries while he's home. Sometimes I can't help the tears, but I know I should be joyful that at least it's just a fever instead of a more serious problem- but that's more irritating too, that it's just a dumb fever.
It's just so frustrating, that 75% of the times they get sick (which is pretty rare anyway) it's when we had special plans. Is this normal with young children? The time parents desperately need away is taken because of illness? I ranted earlier, asking God what purpose does this serve? And I know staying home is the right choice, but that doesn't make my heart feel much better. It just stinks all around. Makes me cry more than that stupid skunk a few years back....

Oh my! My heart hurts for you. That must be so incredibly disspapointing. :( I know how treasured time alone with DH is, and how much you must have been looking forward to that. *hugs* I really pray she starts feeling better soon. :)
oh no! I am sooooo sorry. I wish we could some how come hug your sick girl so you could go. What a bummer. I can't believe they get sick every time you plan something, that is awful. So sorry and we'll be praying for you guys this weekend. : (
