I NEVER USED TO BE AFRAID OF FLYING. I USED TO FLY EVERY TWO WEEKS FOR ABOUT A YEAR.. BACK IN THE DAY. WHEN I WAS SINGLE AND DIDN'T HAVE A CARE IN THE WORLD. WHEN LIFE WAS EASY, I HAD NO BILLS, NO ONE DEPENDING ON ME, A JOB THAT CONSISTED OF HITTING 21 THE EASIEST AND MOST PROFITABLE WAY POSSIBLE, A LIFE STYLE THAT HAD ME WAKING AT NOON AND MAKING MORE MONEY IN A DAY THAN MOST MAKE IN A MONTH, AND AGAIN, I DIDN'T HAVE A CARE IN THE WORLD.
NOW I AM ALL GROWN UP WITH FOUR LIVES THAT HANG IN THE BALANCE OF MINE, A HOUSE AND CARS AND DISHES TO WASH. LIFE TO LIVE WITH THEM AND I AM SITTING HERE NEARLY HYPERVENTILATING ABOUT MY FLIGHT THAT IS TAKING OFF IN 14.5 HOURS.... BUT WHO IS REALLY COUNTING RIGHT? I THINK THEY ALL ARE. I HAVE HEARD THE QUESTION, "DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO ALL WEEKEND, CAN'T YOU JUST GO FOR THE DAY?" ALL WEEK LONG NOW. I HAVE WIPED AWAY TEARS AND HUGGED AWAY THE, "WHY CAN'T I GO?" SHUDDERS COMING FROM MY LITTLE GIRLS SHAKING BODY AS SHE CRIED.
I HAVE JOKED ALL WEEK LONG WITH TOMMY THAT NO ONE IS REALLY GOING TO MISS ME AND THAT THIS MOM IS REALLY IN NEED OF THIS WEEKEND......
THIS MOM IS REALLY SECOND GUESSING THIS TRIP AND IS ALMOST PANIC STRICKEN NOW. WHEN I PULLED OUT MY SUITCASE I WAS NEARLY PARALYZED WITH FEAR BECAUSE OF THE DREADED, "WHAT IF?????"
JUST FOR THE RECORD, TOMMY, JAXI, BINKY NOODLE AND PUDGIE BEAR... I LOVE YOU ALL MORE THAN LIFE. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND WITHOUT MOMMY YELLING AND SCREAMING.
I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MY HEART WILL BE MISSING YOU ALL!!!
LOVE,
MOM

2 Lightbulb moments:
Oh don't worry I feel the exact same way you do! I was never scared to fly (and I've even been in a plane crash) until after I was married with kids. Have a blast in Chicago! My whole family lives there! :)
I never leave without being completely homesick...before I ever step foot out the front door. Funny, how much we need a moment for ourselves, but we can't actually handle the thought of being away. Makes pulling a gun on a bad guy look like a cake walk, doesn't it.
Have a good trip. It's okay. And when you get home, the dishes might be piled up as high as the laundry, just to make you feel extra needed :)
