The Plane! The Plane!

by Lisa Donovan

Tomorrow I take a flight to Florida to see one of my best friends.  Two days away from the kids - relaxation, wine, uninterrupted dinners, long conversations.. It sounded like fun, until today.  Don’t get me wrong.  I still think the whole weekend sounds fun and I know I will be thankful I did it.  But, now, two days without the kids sounds like the most depressing thing in the world.  I miss them and I haven’t even left yet.

I guess, though, that it means that things are right, right?  I am glad I don’t like being away from my kids.  Wait.  Does that make me a good mom or an overprotective mom?  I don’t need to be with them out of worry - I just like my people.  When I have down time I want to be with my huband and babies.  That’s a good feeling. 

So, aside from that - I am having to get over some new, strange fear of flying.  I can’t quite figure out the source of this very recent fear - all I know is that I have been having nightmares about flaming plane crashes and rushing through airports, late and sweating.. God.  I need to relax, don’t I? 

So, all my crazies aside, we’re off to the park.  Then lunch on the grass - and maybe a little shopping for some pretty things.  Have a great weekend!
