Seattle to Panama City, FL



Holy Cow, I am freaking out right now. Not only am I flying with my two daughters cross-country, but I am flying with them a day earlier than expected, and miscommunicated my way into having a 30 minute layover in Memphis!!! Now is when we all envision that airport scene from the first Home Alone where the whole family is making a mad dash to the gate. Yeah. That's gonna be me but with a stroller-baby and a three year old. Have I mentioned I'm freaking out? See, leaving a day early isn't the biggest thing. Really, the only results from that are a rescheduled haircut and postponement of house work. The barely-there layover is what has me shakin' like a leaf!!! I can see it all now...the running...bumping through people, occasionally being given the bird and hearing some choice words muttered in my direction...and then to top it all off, the dozens of irritated faces I get to huff and puff past as I finally blunder down the isle of the plane toward our seats. This is what I can't help but think...because entertaining the thought of missing the flight altogether threatens to send me over the edge<:S Whatever happens, I'm sure I'll end up making the flight attendants "attend" like never before; with their help, things will go much smoother.
*Whew* Okay, I think I'm finished. Wish us luck and send some prayers our way, everyone! I hope you all have a pleasant week! Ta-ta!
