yesterday

could have been the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day......if i wasn't convinced that it could have been worse.

i woke up with menstrual cramps....my first in 17 months.
at least i wasn't pregnant.

we left for the airport. we were running late because we let A get a quick little nap. we found out upon check-in that our plane had not left new york yet.
at least we didn't miss our flight.

in the midst of our delayed flight.....we enjoyed a sweet flight attendant who entertained our two year old as we figured out our flight situation. new york was flooded, our flight canceled, there were no car services with available cars to pick us up from the airport, subways were not running reliably, the cab line was going to insane,and it was too much to ask of our friends to pick us up....we decided to fly out first thing this morning.
at least we didn't figure this all out in new york, at dinner time, with two hungry & tired little boys, and no baby food.

i checked in with our realtor to find out the shape of construction in our apartment. we are hoping to move on monday.....we can't. we are supposed to be out of our apartment on wednesday....our new one won't be ready until friday. i've already canceled the cable, electric, gas, phone, etc. i have a very excited grandmother coming to help with the sole purpose of helping us move....
at least i get to enjoy my mom more.

A decided to have a massive dirty diaper on the way back to john's parents' home. he cried most of the trip, poop everywhere.....it all had to be laundered.
at least we weren't on the plane.

and now we are home!
my own bed.
