Change of plans....

My daughter was going to come over tonight and spend the night. She changed her mind and is waiting to come over tomorrow. I think she wanted to go shopping at the stores, but I didn't have any plans to go anywhere. I would have loved to go and get her. She's pregnant and five and a half months along, and the walk will do her good, especially since she's been having some problems with swelling.
She said she would come and visit during her break tomorrow, so we'll wait until then for her visit. I am a little disappointed that she's not coming, but I'll survive. I love my kids very much. She also said she wouldn't be spending the night because she would be uncomfortable. I can see her being uncomfortable because she would have to sleep in the twin bed. We'll see each other tomorrow and have a good visit.
How do you handle change of plans like that?

When an unexpected change of plans occurs, which happens a lot lately, I must admit, I usually stay at home and do something I love to do. I mean I don't have to start cleaning the apartment all over again, or cook again, or any domestic work. I just grab my book or watch a movie on my computer or TV. I hate when my plans change, but since I can't do anything about it, I just try to make some use of it any way I can.

It seems to me like I have changes in plans more often than not and because of that fact, I have to admit that I tend to just roll with the punches instead of just letting them get me down.
I can see why you are disappointed that your daughter didn't end up spending the night with you, but at least she didn't just cancel on you all together, you still got to spend some time with her and she was able to maintain her comfort.

It's all good, we ended up spending some time yesterday. It was only for an hour, but that's okay. She informed me she is moving back to Va. sooner than planned, so we only have another month before she moves. She is leaving on the 19th. I like that...rolling with the punches

Sometimes I get upset when plans change like that and especially at the last minute. But then I just carry on and wait for the plans for the next day or whenever we reschedule. I'm sorry she changed her mind but I can see where she would be uncomfortable and stuff. But hopefully you guys will make good of your visit tomorrow, it's better than nothing.

Thank you Blondie. That's okay that she changed her mind, I understand that she won't be comfortable, because honestly if I had to sleep in a twin bed I would be uncomfortable too.
I was hoping we could visit, but at least we will be able to visit tomorrow and there is no reason to get upset about it and let it ruin my day. I am happy she is coming tomorrow.
Thanks for commenting on my post Blondie. Have a wonderful night.

I understand you. At least she will come on monday. I miss my son very much. hes 3600 miles away. At least I get to video chat with him several times a week here. Take care there. See you soon...

When will you be able to see your son again? You must miss him an awful lot. My daughter is only three blocks away right now and I want to spend as much time with her as I can, before she goes back to Virginia.
I just take changes like this with the flow, no need to get upset over it and we will see each other tomorrow.
