The Good, The Bad, and the Tired

THE GOOD
So, Friday morning myself and the girls hopped on a plane with my sister to come back east for a visit while my sister was here from Japan and my mom was on Spring Break. We arrived at the airport with more luggage and kids than we had arms for, but managed to make it to the ticket counter. I explained to the ticket man that we wanted to see about getting seats near each other so my sister could help with the kids. As we walked to our gate, I noticed that my two year old had been placed on the row in front of me and my sister was several seats down from me leaving my little girl by herself. I ask my sister, "what was he thinking when he did this..." So at the crowded gate and with a screaming baby, I walked up to the the lady at the counter to see what she wanted me to do. She proceeded to put us all on the same row - not only that but once we got on the plane we realized we were in bulkhead which gave us more room to allow Ocean to play on the floor if needed. The verse "All things worked together for good for those who love the Lord," was screaming in my ear. Here I was frustrated with this ticket man for putting us in crazy seats and yet the Lord totally set that up to give us AMAZING seating. What a reminder for me to stop complaining and expect great things!

THE BAD
After our first flight, we had to book it to the next flight for our last leg. We made it just in time to sit on the airplane for over an hour for a flight that is only 30 minutes. From the time we boarded the plane to the time we took off, Selah cried or rather screamed. Then Ocean had to go to the bathroom and after telling her I couldn't take her to the bathroom I told her to go in her pull-up. Of course, she went poopy as well and now I had to call the flight attendant back to tell him I really needed to change her. Now I had a screaming baby AND we had just stunk up the back of the tiny little plane we were on. Oh, and did I mention that there was NO air- conditioning on the plane while we were waiting. AAAHHHHH!!!

THE TIRED
We arrived at our destination after 10pm to find our luggage did not make it. So, after talking to the airline people we set off around 11pm to find food and then headed off to walmart to get the things we needed for the night. There we met the rest of the town (that's were everyone goes at midnight in the south) and stood in line FOREVER, before finally arriving to my parents house where I then had to get down two kids. I finally crashed around 2am. Sometimes I wonder why I keep doing this to myself. But hey, that's what we do for family!!
