plan b

i was at a chinese new year celebration at zach's school last night and ran into one of my favorite parents. adrienne is the mom of more kids than i could ever fathom having and i am in awe of her and her husband. years ago i remember joking with him when she was pregnant with their 3rd or 4th that they needed a hobby. without missing a beat he said, "we have one," and smiled.

when i saw adrienne, i noticed she had all the kids with her and i said how wonderful it was that they brought them all to the event. adrienne looked at me and said, "this was plan b." we laughed and then i said, "my whole life is plan b." laughed again and i told her this would be the topic of my next blog.

my whole life really isn't my plan b, but did you expect your life to turn out this way? there are definitely elements of mine i totally wanted and hoped for and then there are the parts i never signed up for. i always knew i wanted a child and i got very lucky with that one. i started off in advertising and never thought i'd end up running the communications dept. for a school. and got very lucky there too. one plan a and one plan b and both are just as they should be.

wwcd:  plan a or plan b - as long as it works
