road-works adding stress to our airport trip
attending godmother's funeral today
Miss 4 throwing up (on both of us) at airport before flight
flight gate + train platform both furthest walk from entry
(and me alone with small child and bags)
the seeming lack of gentlemen

DeleteI'm so sorry Miss 4 wasn't feeling well, but happy that she got some sleep and recovered. Hugs and peace go out to you while you attend your godmother's funeral. Sometimes the low points can be really low, eh? Wishing you a happy balanced weekend so you can recharge your weary batteries.

happy weekend Monica
Love and Light
thanks for linking me M
DeleteShe actually slept on the flight?? Was she sick then? (I know you don't have the best sleeper of a child and I know mine would have only slept if he was sick.) sounds like chaos at the airport, bleh
ReplyDeletewe were up super early and throwing up and excitement probably took it out of her as well. she was fine, just an early stomach not ready for food i think.
DeleteTravelling with kids - never fun. But it sounds like your girl was a trooper, bless her. I get so mad when people watch, tutting and foot tapping, while a woman struggles with a toddler, pushchair, bags...there is not enough kindness in the world sometimes! Mind you, I was probably oblivious before I had my kids. Not any more, I embarrass everyone by rushing over to offer help now!
ReplyDeleteI had that once - a friend's daughter threw up on me when they dropped us at the airport. It was a trip overseas so I was unable to wear my jacket for the 10 hour middle of the night flight because it reeked. But we live, we learn...
