When left Friday, the 14th, my Mom flew with us to BWI which was very helpful. We ended up not getting there until after midnight and by the time we got our suitcases... we still had to wait another 30 minutes for Ma'Kai's carseat and stroller to come. We were supposed to go to a hotel but I told my Mom that it would be a waste of money if we went for a couple of hours. I was traveling on command sponsorship, it's PCS season, I needed 4 seats, and there are only 25 available all together. SO the earliest i can mark myself present was 430am... and i wanted to be there... so we stayed at the USO... the baby slept, my Mom too... the boys, well they weren't too tire cuz they slept on the planes... the one from Seattle to Nashville, then to BWI... but they were still great... finally they started to get tired and took about an hour nap before i woke them up for us to start waiting by the Space-A terminal...
So we had ourselves signed up and ready to go... I knew that we were good... there was no one there... but i wasn't getting my hopes up... I was going to wait until 830 to do that... but i didn't have to... the guy came looking for me to stamp my paper; APPROVED!! We were ready!!!
So, we got our stuff together,had a cigg with my Mom, ( i know bad habit i picked back up) and i went to the bathroom before getting on the plane. I hate plane bathrooms... i'm back enough with public bathrooms all together but to be in a small confined place too... no thanks... lol. While i went to the bathroom I called Michael... from lack of sleep... (literally at least 48 hours of no sleep if not more) I decided that i was going to tell him we didn't get on... he was sad... he was for sure we were getting on... (hehehe) then i told him, i'd call him back... 30 minutes later... i call back... play along for another 5 minutes, and i finally told him that we were waiting to board. He didn't think it was too funny... he said I wasn't very nice... i guess i was being a little devious in a way, lol.
So, we boarded and the boys pretty much went right to sleep and slept the entire way... I had to wake them up. We got into Lajes way early... like 2 hours... it was very unexpected... because the planes don't usually come in until 930ish if not way later... Of course Michael wasn't there when we got there... i had to call him from someone else's cell since I locked myself out mine... and he took FOREVER to get there... lol. It literally take less than 5 minutes to get there and we waited 30 minutes!!! Turns out, he was cleaning the house as best as he could and cooking dinner... but all he got to make was rice and corn... lol.
We weren't very tired and so we went to a friends house for a small get together...
Since then... i've managed to organize a little... see some friends... and get the boys back into school for the rest of the year.
It's so nice to be in my own home, in my bed, using my own stuff... cooking in my own kitchen...
