So Flexible I might Break!!!

First let me just say, I am praying in earnest for those in Southern California who are suffering from the forest fires. This seems to be a constant battle for those who live there. I cannot imagine the battle as we here in Denver are getting the side affects from their fires in the way of low air quality and smoke!! Blessings to all who are suffering, makes my struggles seem insignificant.

Now on the that flexibility factor I talked about.

Start with first things. My parents will be married for 50 years on November 29th so we are having their 50th anniversary gala on Sunday, complete with family, friends, balloons, cake and lots of well wishes. So, the plan was that as a family, we would leave Denver heading East to Missouri on Friday morning. When I say as a family, I mean all 5 of us, including daddy. Well, he called me yesterday and said, "I won't be able to leave on Friday so we will have to leave on Friday night." AHHHHHH is what was said in my head but I agreed instead to look for a flight. Good ol' Frontier cheapy airlines, $75 one way to KC, done. So, instead of waiting until Friday to leave, the kids and I will be leaving on Friday with me doing all the driving there.

So, big deal, why the flexibility here? Well, first, that means I have to be ready to leave in one day instead of two. Secondly, it means taking all the kids computers and work with me in the car and hook up the multi port modem in at the parents. And more selfishly, I was planning on using the 10 hours there AND back to sit my rear shot gun and make bows for 20 hours since there is a sale I am showing at on the 10th. YEAH YEAH YEAH, I know, I shouldn't be so selfish, but darn, I don't want to drive the whole way alone. However, I also HAVE to be there on Sat to help set things up in the hall for the big hooplah. I just do better when I know the agenda and get to choose to mess it up or change it all on my own!!

If I change or lose the schedule, I am fine with that.....but to have to be flexible for OTHER ppl, I mean sheesh, what do you want from me.
