I had spent ages organising a lovely romantic weekend away for me and my husbands 10th anniversary.  I had a whole spa day organised, then a great concert that night, to class dinner, 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, 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, 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, great dinner, concert and of course the parents were booked to mind the kids for the weekend.  However all did not go to plan...

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, chicken pox are the worst. On the bright side, you still got to spend your anniversary with your husband, just not, you know, 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, but hey I wouldnt change them for the world.
