conv: I had spent ages organising a lovely romantic weekend away for me and my husbands 10th anniversary.  I had a whole spa day organised_comma_ then a great concert that night_comma_ to class dinner_comma_ everything organised.  I had also booked my parents in for babysitting for the weekend.  I was so excited as we never spend any time alone together.  However the day before we were due to go my 2 year old daughter woke up covered in spots.  As the day went on she got more and more_comma_ with a roaring temp and we realised she had chicken pox.  She got a pretty bad dose of them and of course wanted no one but her mum and dad so are weekend away was not to be.  I was so devastated but hey_comma_ kids always come first. Well i had spent the good part of a week organising the best weekend away with my hubby for our 10th wedding anniversary. Spa day_comma_ great dinner_comma_ concert and of course the parents were booked to mind the kids for the weekend.  However all did not go to plan... Oh no_comma_ what happened? Hopefully the whole weekend didn't get ruined! Well unfortunately the day before we were due to go my little 2 year old daughter woke up covered in spots.  As the day went on more and more appeared and she had a roaring temperature.  We realised she had chickenpox.  She was feeling so miserable and of course all she wanted was her mummy and daddy.  It was a bit depressing and part of me was devastated but our weekend away was not to be.  Sure kids always come first dont they?! Poor little thing_comma_ chicken pox are the worst. On the bright side_comma_ you still got to spend your anniversary with your husband_comma_ just not_comma_ you know_comma_ in the way you hoped. Hope you guys get to have a make-up weekend soon! Very true and thats the way to look at it. I was a bit dispirited but the hotel were great and re-arranged it for us and to be honest I could never have left my baby when she was poorly. The best made plans dont always work out when you have kids_comma_ but hey I wouldnt change them for the world.
