Say What?


All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, i'm standing here...blah blah blah!!!!! Yes, my bags are packed and I'm WAY ready to go. I've packed in such an organized way that i've only left out what we'll need in the morning. My diaper bag/carry-on is all set. It's the perfect time of day for the boys to fly--Keegen should sleep and Bode should be happy with a DVD or two. And what do I find on my voice mail tonight? An urgent message from United telling me my FLIGHT HAS BEEN CANCELED. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I think traveling by bus must be better than by air these days!

Not only that, but I made the mistake of telling Bode we were going home tomorrow (as I was getting stuff ready he asked me, "Whatcha doing Mommy?" "Packing so we can go home tomorrow." Oooops.). He was so ready to go to "Bode's house" to see "Bode's daddy" that getting him to sleep was a major feat. We are still flying tomorrow, just in the evening instead. Lovely.

Again, I am not thrilled to fly, especially just me and the boys. So, send some prayers and good energy my way, K?

oh man. I would bla bla bla bla my way through that song if that happened to me too! That's just horrifying. Sorry. Good luck.

Oh, I hope it went well -- that is just horrible that they switched you to an evening flight. I know that's such a hard time with kids!! I hope they slept for you!
