Unexpected, Unplanned.

It's an overwhelming Friday for me and hubby. It is actually Saturday 5:15am now as I type this. We had an unplanned family dinner celebration. The reasons for this: My daughter came home from a three day retreat and this is the first time we are really far away from each other. Us, parents have separation anxiety. we want to welcome her home. And the unexpected reason for celebration is that my son got higher grades for his second quarter term. I was expecting maybe a drop of grade in some subjects but hooray for my son!!! I'm so overwhelmed. So I ordered Chinese food for our dinner.

That's great. Well done to your son in particular. I'm sure you all enjoyed the celebration. It's hard when our children start to grow up and leave the nest.

Most of the time, I enjoy those unplanned and unexpected activities. Because there are times I get disappointed when we plan and it will be cancelled...
