<p>Oh we've been doing this for years!
Grad school D,flying home tonight announced last evening on the phone the "need" to see an ex boyfriend from undergrad who is here in NY and leaving on Tues,so she's now unavailable on Sunday night and Monday..just threw all the plans up in the air in my oh so carefully scheduled week before Christmas (for example...oh Mommy please wait till I get home to buy the tree..we always all go together...).And we've had plenty of those "ships passing in the night"occurences with me waking up and her coming home.......</p>
