Even the best laid plans go awry. So went today. It started like any other morning, well planned out. I clean the house, while my mom heads to the airport in Phoenix, AZ to get on the plane to fly out to NYC. I leave at 3pm to meet the plane at 5pm. Simple, yes? Well, today was the best laid plans go wrong. Don't get me wrong, I had no trouble on my end, I cleaned, I swept, I danced to music blaring. The first time in days I actually felt like getting my boogie on. The laundry ~ done. The bathroom cleaned ~ done. The beds made ~ done. The kitchen cleaned ~ done. The living room ~ done. I sit down to eat some lunch and watch Kendall dodge being caught by Liza, Erica as she prepares for her Dance-A-Thon to raise money for the poor starving children in Africa, and Crazy Annie continuing her evil plot to take over Pine Valley. The phone rings at almost 2pm, and my mom's name comes up on the screen. Wow! that was one hell of a tail wind I think. I answer and my mom says, "Guess where I am?" No clue. "I'm in Phoenix!" The plane was over New Mexico and the pilot came on and reported that there was a problem with an oil filter and that the plane was returning to Phoenix where they would be placed on another plane, and they would start all over. Okayyy. So let me know when the plane is ready to leave, and I'll figure out when to get there. Finally, the plane leaves from Phoenix and is bound for JFK. Due to arrive at 7:35pm. I continue to clean, check the flight status. Now it's 8pm, now it's 8:35pm. My poor mom. Up at 4:30am and traveling all day long. I get to the receiving area at 8:15. The Arrival screen says USAirways flight 12 arrives 8:21pm. 9 o'clock the passengers finally come wearily out, tugging their luggage behind them. Then I saw my mommy dragging a suitcase almost the size of her all 5' of her. Tired from the long day. We found the car service and headed home. Heated a pizza (spinach on whole wheat crust) and finally tucked ourselves into bed around 1am.
It's so good to have my mommy here. I needed that.
Nite!
Love and Light!
