situation: 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.
