Yesterday was one disaster after another. Luckily all of it was pretty laughable and nothing that is of great importance, but here's how the day went...
8:00 AM - Off to the airport. Daddy is dropping the littles and I off for our quick last-minute trip to Utah. (Grandma Lela's memorial service)
8:30 AM - Realize we forgot the stroller back at home...guess I'll have to do the airport scene while carrying Colby. G R E A T...
9:00 AM - Get to the airport, only to realize that we forgot to get cash to tip sky-cap. We rounded up $1.60 between the two of us and apologize profusely to the sky-cap guy about the lack of $. When I handed him what money we did scrounge up, I dropped a couple of the coins. Bent over to pick them up and my pants split right up the back. A W E S O M E... Luckily they haden't wisked my bag away yet, so I grabbed another pair of shorts to change into once we get through security.
11:30 AM - Halfway between Dulles and JFK Kyle spills an entire water bottle all over himself and my backpack...which has the laptop and SLR Camera. S E R I O U S L Y?
12:00 noon - Three-hour lay-over in JFK. F U N
1:30 PM - Colby poopy diaper change.
3:30 PM - Now a three and a half lay-over. Plane is late getting in.
4:00 PM - Colby cries/screams for 30-45 min. on the plane while trying to fall asleep. S O R R Y peeps.
5:00 PM - Kyle has to go potty...BAD. Seat belt sign still on, we had to ignore it.
5:30 PM - Colby poopy diaper change. Again ignore the seat belt sign.
6:30 PM - Kyle has to go potty AGAIN.
7:30 PM - ANOTHER poopy diaper change for Colby. I am now out of diapers and hoping for no more poop.
***Now in Mountain Time Zone***
6:45 PM - Plane lands. Colby poops A G A I N. Luckily there are diapers in the suitcases. We'll change it as soon as we get to the car.
7:05 PM - Waiting for luggage on luggage carousel.
7:15 PM - STILL waiting for luggage along with about 20 other people from my flight.
7:20 PM - Get word that OOPS! JetBlue forgot to load one whole baggage cart back at JFK. - which means no diapers, no car seat for Colby, no clothes, etc. G R R R R.
7:30 PM - Luggage isn't going to be in until tomorrow NIGHT. There is only one JetBlue flight from JFK to SLC each day. - Leave info so that our luggage can be delivered once its in. Get a $50 credit to use on a future JetBlue flight. Given a 'loaner' car seat for Colby. Promised to be reimbursed for diapers/wipes.
8:00 PM - Stop at Target for diapers and PJ's for all us...so that we can wash our clothes to wear tomorrow.
9:00 PM (11:00 PM East Coast Time) - Finally, bed time for the littles. W H E W!
It was just one of those days. I only lost my cool once, and that was when Kyle was being careless and spilled the water all over everything. Other than that, I think I rolled with the punches pretty good. I didn't really figure there was any other choice. Hopefully the next few days will be a breeze.
We'll be in Utah for only a week.
I'll post pictures from our fun weekend at Virginia Beach in a day or two.

Hoo-wee! Flying alone with kids is a workout! That stinks about your luggate - just adding insult to injury there! Hopefully your visit and flight back are more relaxing!
and when I say luggate, I actually mean luggage :)
Was it funny when you were writing this? I was laughing some...sorry. 1 messy diaper is plenty enroute & especially on an airplane, but 4. Hope all dried out alright from the water spill. You are right you must have been "rolling" with those punches. Those are truly the supermom moments. Bummer we aren't visiting Utah, hope it is a fun trip.
