Now That Was A Long Day
My day today:
- Wake up at 4:30AM
- Arrive at Seatac airport
- Pay $15 to check one bag
- Ordered to remove 6 pounds from luggage or pay additional $90
- Angrily remove hardcover library books and copies of my book proposal from bag
- Want to yell at someone
- Buy hot chocolate at Seattle’s Best instead
- Call husband to gripe about 6 extra pounds in my laptop bag
- Return call to son’s school: all good
- Boarding plane full of germs; trying not to be unreasonable about it
- Wondered when I’d ever get food today
- Offered peanuts on the plane.
- Eat them, greedily
- 40 minute layover; buy sandwich from Einstein Bagel
- Eat bagel sandwich on tiniest plane ever; feel very messy
- Home!
- Husband to airport
- Boy 1 to soccer
- Boy 2 to soccer
- Pick one boy up, then the other
- Showers
- Basketball game for me
- Whew, it’s almost done
I can’t wait to go to sleep!
We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby
I recently perused an old journal from my college days. There’s absolutely no reason to share much of that drivel here. I’m trying to decide if it’s even worth keeping. Do I really want my children and grandchildren to read this stuff one day?
However, I will share this, which fell out of the journal when I opened it:
That’s the boy I fell in love with, all those years ago.
So much has happened in between. He liked Patty. I liked Tom. Formals, Vienna, the Army, Texas, Palm Springs, and Seattle. I got a job, he got a job, we moved to Green Bay. We got a dog. We had a baby. He became my new job. New friends, old friends, another baby, another move, still not back east. New friends, old friends, starting a new company. Bahamas, St. Thomas, Great Britain, Yellowstone, San Francisco, San Diego, Orcas Island, Italy. Lots of travel. Lots of laughs. A few tears. More love every year.
Happy 17th Anniversary to us!
