Weather and Sick Kids

Here's the problem with bad weather and sick kids.  

Both are totally unpredictable.  

Neither comes at a convenient time.  

Today I was reminded of that.  

This evening was Fresh Brew--a coffee and dessert event for our incredible volunteers in Children's Ministry. We had some really great things planned.  I was so excited about our breakouts.  I was looking forward to hanging out with the Children's Ministry Volunteers for the evening.

BUT--that's where the bad weather came in.  

The day started out with a lot of really cold rain which promised to turn to an icy mix this evening and 

2-6 inches of snow sometime tonight.  WHAT???  Isn't today March 1?  Isn't this the South?

I was pretty sure that the roads would be okay for Fresh Brew--that it would be later this evening before it got rough BUT you never know. . .

It's like sick kids.--I'm sure you know what I mean.  Your child is sick--has been hanging on with a runny nose, cough and sore throat for a couple of days.  You think it might just be a virus and so you hold off on taking them to the doctor.  You don't want to get in there and have the doctor say, "It's just a virus--that will be $20.00"  But, then when you take them to the doctor you find out it's strep throat.  

Anyway, that's what I've been thinking about all day.  

Oh well, we'll reschedule our event and hope for nice weather.

I had a moment like that when Darby had a little cough that just hung on and on and I hesitated to take her to the doc and when I finally did, she had pneumonia!! Felt like a total loser mom.
