of all the things i need to get done, but am not doing. laundry. cleaning. phone calls. work. planning for our trip. oh. yes... that's what i'd rather be doing. i don't care how many kids you have. if you have kids and are going to board an airplane, it takes some planning. no more just throwing some clothes in a bag and heading to the airport. there are decisions to be made. backpacks to pack. full. i mean full. what to take on the plane in case of melt downs. what bad. horrible food will satiate them. keep them calm. maybe put them to sleep? what toys will entertain for three hours? what blankets to take? what back up outfits? what strollers? what car seats? what books? what? what? what? what are we thinking?
the last time we flew with the littles was disastrous. little two screamed for three hours. and i don't mean on and off. i mean the whole way. fussing. wiggling. wriggling. screeching. screaming. kicking. pounding. throwing. i'm surprised they didn't ground our flight, the noise was so bad. some fellow passengers were kind. bringing us anything they had to try to calm him. but there was no calming to be done. he wanted to scream and scream he did. until the last 5 minutes of the flight.
what are we thinking?
