The Best Laid Plans

In the field, you often find yourself making plans, (A) (B) (C) and so on. This would be in an attempt to circumvent obstacles that may stand in your way or someone trying to give away your position, yada yada.

Well, in real life, we can make all the plans we want and they can still be still foiled. I had this upcoming weekend planned to meet up with some fellow military wives. Everything was going far too smoothly. There were some minor hiccups, but the husband, and I worked around it and made other arrangements for vehicles and to stop some people from coming to our house who wanted to visit. Things seemed to be working out. Yay!

Fast forward to this morning. He calls me and informs me that another party is requiring him to pick up something and that it must be done this weekend. Now being a military wife, I know that being flexible is important, but sometimes it would be nice if others could bend a little too given that I already had plans.

Argh.
