Flying

I'm not a big fan of flying, but the more I do it, the better it gets. Hubs is even more nervous about it, hence we've NEVER been anywhere that we can't drive. I'm hoping for our tenth anniversary in two years I'll be able to convince him to jump on a plane to some island somewhere with me. I'll probably have to drug him first.

On my flight last week to Madison, there was a cute little girl in front of me that had already flown three times in her life and on the way back, a six-month old baby that had already flown four times! Wow - those kids are already racking up the frequent flier points!

I feel so sorry for the parents of kids on planes because you can tell they are uptight about their kids throwing a fit and upsetting everyone on the plane. When this little cutie below started crying, I played peek-a-boo with her and made her paper airplanes out of my magazine reply cards and it got her smiling pretty quick. She liked my camera too.

  1. That is so sweet of you to do! I think it's so easy to judge those parents when it's not your child screaming :)

  2. I always feel so sorry for parents flying with kids; they usually do look so embarrassed about possibly imposing on others, when the rest of us do realize that keeping kids occupied and happy on flights is the herding cats type of difficult.

    Good luck convincing your husband on the flying! I love it, but everything about travel definitely gets easier the more you do it.

  4. Due to a health issue I can not fly.
    I have gone to Alaska and to Europe though. I hasn't held me back. I have taken a train and then a boat.

    What a cute little one.

  7. We took our little man on his first plane ride when he was 10 weeks old and wow were the dirty looks we got frightening. He slept the whole way but people still stared us down. Ah ha

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
