The best plans of men and mice often go awry…

“The best plans of men and mice often go awry” – Robert Burns

My husband (a new teacher) has vacation this entire week.   So, last week we made plans for every day of our "at-home" vacation in the City.  Monday, we would go to the American Museum of Natural History.  Tuesday, we would celebrate Christmas with my husband’s family.  Wednesday, I would give my husband a break and take the kids to a Kwanzaa celebration at the Children’s Museum, etc., etc.

Besides Christmas day, nothing has been going according to plan.

I was really sick on Monday, so my husband and older son went to AMNH without me and the baby.  The worst of my cold is over today, but now my baby is sick, so we won’t be making the Kwanzaa celebration.

Oh well, it was a good plan…
