This Thanksgiving we came to New Hampshire to be with my husbands family. We come here every other year for the holidays to spread the joy with his side of the family. I enjoy coming here I just don't enjoy the traveling to get here!

We left on Tuesday afternon because Maggie had her first Thanksgiving feast at her school. I wouldn't have missed that for the world! She had made vests, hats, and placemats and the whole school put on a performance and her class sang! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen I was so pround of her standing up there on stage and singing the song and doing the little dance she had learned. Some of the parents had brought in some food and desserts so when the performance was over, we all sat down and had a little feast. It really was  so special to be there with my little girl and her friends and just enjoy the time with her! She was so proud of herself and I was so proud of her! It was a great start to the holiday festivites!!

Right after the feast we had to be at the airport to leave on vacation. Talk about cutting it close, as usual we were balls to the wall and rushing! I was a little nervous about flying for acouple of reasons. For one thing the Swine flu is all over the place and I just was a little apprehensive about being at the airport where people from all over the world travel and touch and snot all over everything! What better place to catch ome kind of funk then the airport! I washed everyone's hands as often as possible and tried not to touch to much sthuff and if we did I washed hands and arms and legs and feet! Just kidding, but I did wash hands often, you can never be too careful when it come to your health and the prevention of spreading illnesses. Now that i think of it, I should have bought stock in an antibacterial company, I probably would be a millionaire right now! Just saying

The other reason I was worried is because it is the holiday season and there is always flight delays, no matter what! We checked our bags and got through security with no problem! That was a mojor shock because usually security takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R! Since securitydidn't take long I thought we were off to a great start! Sometimes I don't think I sould even think because that is when everything goes awry! I was already exhausted and trying to pull it together just to get on the plane when they cme over the intercom and said the flight was going to be delayed for an hour for low ceiling in the sky!! I thought my blood was going to shoot out of my veins because that was one more hour that the kids weren't going to be confined in their carseats and I was going to have to find something to do with them!!!! My husband kept them busy for most of the time, but we had to eat and get drinks and just rearrange the whole day now.  really just wanted to be on the plane watching TV and getting there!! We finally board the plane to sit there for a while!  That really annoys the shit out of me, you have to get there so early just to sit there and not go anywhere! Don't these people know we have places to go and people to do see! We taxi off to the runway just in time to pull over and take care of some mechanical problem that only a few people know about. Real quick, I would really like to know what is wrong with the plane before we take off, just in case I wanted to get off and decide to drive!

We jet down the runway and lift off, finally! Grace fell asleep and Maggie talked the whole time! The whole time, the flight is like three hours, and she found enough to talk about for three hours! I couldn't believe it! I couldn't believe she had that much to say at four years old! I just wanted to go to sleep, I think I did at some points I couldn't help it! We finally arrived an hour and a half late my mother in law picked us up and we went to eat. We just got some pizza because that was the easiest thing to do. Maggie akmost fell asleep at the restaurant and Grace was wired! She had just slept for three hours on a plane and was hungry! After we left the restaurant  Maggie fell fast asleep in the car but Grace, oh Grace, her little self stayed up until 11pm! She finally crashed on the couch with me, I was asleep shortly after! I was just relieved that we arrived safely and in one piece

Even though it was a little bit of a disaster of a start, it ended up turning out okay in the end! Sometimes I stress about stuff and drive myself everyone crazy and it all turns out just fine in the end!!
