Dread
Posted on December 13, 2006 - Filed Under Uncategorized
I am feeling a pretty intense fear of Friday’s trip. Maggie has flown before, when Erin and her went to the wedding in Erie, PA, but never for this long. Our flight leaves early and doesn’t arrive in FL until late in the evening, so we are going to be in the air and in a few different airports all day long and into the evening. My fear centers around Maggie screaming the entire time. I really hate being a burden to others, whether it’s in accepting favors or assistance or by annoying strangers. I have never personally had the displeasure of being aboard a flight with a screaming baby but I imagine it ranks up there with hanging upside down by one’s toenails. When I take a step back and really think about it, I am tempted to think it will be alright. Then I remember how much Maggie likes to crawl around and be mobile; being restricted to our laps the entire time is probably going to bring out the Mr. Hyde in our little bundle of joy. Many of you are probably thinking of encouragement right now, tempted to tell me that all will be well. I guess we’ll see…I hope you’re right.
