Airports, ERs and holidays pt 1
What a week and it’s only Wednesday. I was going to post about my day yesterday but then it got a little late and so I decided to wait until today. Unfortunately it is getting late again and my brain is not thinking straight so I will make this post in 2 parts. I have stuff to talk about with yesterday and today so since it would be a long post I will talk about it in 2 posts.
Let’s see so yesterday was an extremely long day. Again Tony and I are dealing with one car so I had to take him to work. He was originally scheduled to work at 8am so that wouldn’t have been that big of a deal except at the last minute they decided to have him start at 6am. WTF, so me and the kids were up at 4:30am so we could get on the road and get Tony to work by 6.
After taking Tony to work we returned home. We were only there for a little bit because then I decided to run some errands. I didn’t have long to shop because I had to get Nicki from school at 10:30am. Today was the day she was leaving to go to IL. Well she was flying in to IL where her dad would pick her up and drive them to WI to spend the holiday with her family.
So I picked up Nicki and we headed back to Tony’s work to get him. He only had to work until 11:30. We decided to get some subs from his work, he works at a grocery store. We thought we were going to get them and sit around and eat them but they were a bit busy and it took almost an hour to get them made. We were letting other customers go before us. Unfortunately by this time we had to take the food to go and eat on the way to the airport.
Tony is not allowed to go to the gate with me so instead of him sitting around the airport, I had him drop me off. We needed to go to Best Buy to
try and get my laptop fixed so that is what he did while I was getting Nicki on the plane. He dropped us off at the departures and we went our separate ways. By now it is about 1pm and Nicki’s flight leaves at 2:30. It didn’t look too busy so I thought we had plenty of time to get there.
We made it through the check out counter and security in good time. It wasn’t too busy. Most of the time spent was walking through the airport. LOL! We then had to wait for the tram to leave to take us to the gate. By the time all that was said and done we made it to her gate at 2:15. Let’s just say the only people left to board were stand by passengers and Nicki. We made it just in time.
After that we went to the mall in the area. We wanted to get a Build-a-Bear for baby Max (all of our kids have one, Nicki used to but gave it away) and the only one close was out that way. We headed to the mall, did our shopping and then headed home. Unfortunately by this time though we are about an hour and 20 min from home. AAAHHH!
By the time we get home, we eat a quick dinner and get the lil ones to bed. They have now been awake since 4:30am with no nap other than sleeping occasionally in the car.
It was all in all a long day! The rest to be posted tomorrow.
