Me time...Denied!

[Melody A]

This morning I came down with a bad case of the "Eff-its" and decided to call in sick to work. It has been about a month since I had some quality "Mel time" and today seemed like the perfect day for it. I had just finished shaving when the phone rang. It was school calling to tell me that my child was in the nurse's office with a temp and she was being sent home.
The score:
Karma - 1
Melody - 0

Well played, Karma...Well played! :phbbt:

ROFL!!!


Sorry to hear your Mel time disappeared. But isn't that how it always goes?

[Welshgirl]

Oh Mel, how frustrating! Kids have the most amazing way of being around when you don't want them there. It's almost as if they know...

[kimdl93]

There you go...one bad turn deserves another!

[Michelle colson]

Lol, funny story. Same thing just happened to me. I took next Friday off using the excuse that I need to work on projects at home. Wife comes home last night all excited because her boss let her take it off too and now we have a long weekend together. Oh well.

:lol2:

Just the universe's way of saying: "Not today Mel..."

It's happened to most of us... though there are probably still a few out there who have only seen the good side of existence and just don't understand this...

Keep Calm & Carry On!

Life has a way of foiling the best of plans. It is too bad that things did not work out as you had hoped.

[Beverley Sims]

Has this been said?

The best laid plans of mice and men......

I hope your daughter was okay though.

You can live for another day.

Yes! It is frustrating.:)

I note you have plenty of sympathy and "understanding" from all of us.

[Melody A]

Yes..."The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry". However, I've just learned that all is not lost. This weekend, my wife and I were going to stay at a local casino to help a friend celebrate a milestone birthday. She said that she would rather stay home with the kid and then encouraged me to go myself. Looks like I may have some extra packing to do :D

Hugs,

Mel

Hey Mel,

At least you hadn't dressed yet when you got the call from the school! I was in the shower once, shaving legs for a day planned to be all dolled up when, "RING-RING..." School nurse, child sick with a temp & in a fight. *umph*

So many possible stories and yet all sound so much the same, a planned day dressed--ruined.

Sympathetic hugs,

I know the feeling. Four out of five days this week, school was cancelled because of an ice storm!

[Tonya Rose]

Yes I do understand, The canceled days of dressing,
But when they do grow up and the snow days bare welcome,it`s all good GF!
mine are grown now and the snow days are way kool now! LOL!
Hang in there GF! you will get you`re dayzzzzzzz!!!!!!!! :hugs:

[Maija Stone]

We'll it sounds like things might work out for you. I think a weekend at the casino might be more fun than a day at home. Pack that extra bag and enjoy yourself.

[Angie G]

I know how you feel Melody.I've had a few days off the did.'t workout like I had planned.:hugs:

Hi Melody, It sounds li:daydreaming:ke Miss Karma bit you in the @$$ today.

[Nadine Spirit]

Too funny. Sorry, but too funny. I had to read the post word for word to my wife. We both laughed.

At least you still have your sense of humor!

[Nadya]

Sorry to hear that. It seems that I always eventually find some time if plans fall through.

[Michelle_G]

Been there. Ditto on the snow days here too. It seems the kids have had more days home than in school this winter.

[Maria 60]

You yeah do I know what your talking about, when your out everyone is out when your home everyone is home. I know the disappointing feeling.

[charlenesomeone]

You plan your girl day
Lay out your favorite dress,
the phone rings oh what a mess,
off you go to do the right thing
oops did I take off the wedding ring?
Back home but not by yourself
Maybe I could just be Santa's little girl elf?
Not today sweetie, but smile a tad
Sometimes you have to be Dad.
Hope your little one is doing better, and they do grow up too fast.

[Marcelle]

Hi Mel,

Sorry to say this but your story gave me my first chuckle of the day . . . totally not at your expense it was just too perfect of a karma boomerang to not smile. However, I note that karma has a way to self correct with your potential upcoming weekend away.

Hugs

Yup! Welcome to my world. Had BIG plans for yesterday (fri) BUT nope. Had a long work day, had to run an errand, frozen pipes, had to get stuff ready for a trade show for today. Looks like next week may have some time.:battingeyelashes:

[Michelle 78]

Wow I can totally relate to this tread it happens to me all the time!

I can only dress a few times every 2 weeks because of my shifts at work, so I look so forwards to it, and then there always seems to be some sort of a family crisis or somebody puts holidays in or somebody decides to come home early!!!:Pullhair: never anything happens on the opposite week when I can't dress typical.

Hang in there your time will come, eventually:)

[char GG]

Cute post. Sorry your plans didn't work out.

Just a side note: enjoy your time with your child(ren). They grow up too soon and move away. You will have your time.
