Failed plans

Sometimes I get overly excited when I find out we have the opportunity to make plans, whether it be a trip to the coast where my family is or just having 1 or 2 of the kids home for the weekend. Unfortunately, with six kids and a log hauler our plans tend to fall through due to some unforeseen event and I become very disappointed. I am slowly learning that these things just happen and I should leave my enthusiasm on the back burner until the telling moment arrives.
