luck???

In some ways I think I am so, so lucky ...

i ALWAYS get a close parking spot, no matter how crowded the lot is;

i come from a lucky family: my mother once

guessed the exact # of nuts & bolts in a jar

and won a truck and camper;

i ALWAYS pick out the best chocolates in the assorted box -

no taking bites & putting them back for me!

BUT

sometimes I think I am terribly UNlucky ...

take tonight:

We put Bryan and Azure on a plane bound for Idaho

they were to spend 4 days there, enjoying Brooke, Steve & Gage

and filling a babysitting need

(YAY! Brooke got the internship she wanted!)

The babysitting starts tomorrow at 8 am

Being the seasoned travelers that they are, we left them at the security gate

and asked them to call when they boarded ...

4 hours later we were picking them back up and bringing them home

Their flight was cancelled.

Why was I surprised?

1st of all, it included airplanes

secondly, Brooke was involved

all of us Chapmans are unlucky when it comes to flights -

but no one beats Brooke

well, maybe Sierra does ...

but it really doesn't matter:

the combination of Chapmans + flying = delays, lost bags, damaged baggage, cancellations, etc ...

it just does.

luck???? hmmm ....
