Sadness or Gladness?

We have been so excited this week. The kids have had spring break, although there wasn't anywhere we could go with the snow still around. But, at the end of the week, my parents were going to make the trip up here. We were going to meet them in Salt Lake,and play for the weekend. My mom is turning 70 on Sunday. I can't even believe that, because I still think of her as young. But, due to the American Airline cancellations, they won't make it. So, sad because our plans have been wiped away, I'm still trying to explain it to the sad kids that think it's not fair. But, I am glad that the airline is taking such precautions and checking every plane for electrical landing gear problems. I wouldn't want anything horrible to have happened. So, after being glued to the internet, and having an automated call phone every 15 minutes with updates about the flight, I've given up, and comes to terms that it would be better in May anyway. Then, the snow would be melted, the mud dried up and a much more beautiful country to show them. Blah, I don't like when things have to change some times..
