What Plans?

I originally thought that I would take the kids down to St. George today to see pops but Jack got sick a couple days ago and I ended up sick yesterday and so I decided it probably wouldn't be the best idea to go down.  Better that we not take the germs down there and just focus on recovering here.  Well, that was a good idea until I decided to run over to the Brick House to help prepare the upstairs room for a group tonight.  I was going to load up the trailer and take a run out to the dump but I don't have the tow hitch for the Escape and had to try and track that down.  Thought it might be on the Jeep that Dave is driving at the moment.  Well, problem, the Jeep wasn't at the Brick House.  Dave's other car was there but no Jeep.  I went inside and was told Dave left to St. George.  So, there I am, not planning on working and all we have is two guys and our dishwasher called in sick.  That before noon and I ended up working until after 7.  That throws a wrench in the day and other plans that we had.  Our ward activity started at 6 and we were getting hit with a ton of orders.  I failed to mention that one of our cooks just failed to show up.  Lovely.  Things can get a little hectic and crazy when you play the role of the fail-safe.  I wasn't planning on working in the kitchen today but it turned out that we had a need and so I had to fill it.  Sometimes that is the way it goes.
