no jet plane for me....

so.....i'm not flying home..... let me explain

spencer and i headed to idaho falls right after he got out of school so i could make it to the airport. we were early so we went to the cafe and had lunch. my bag and adysons carseat was already checked in so we all just spent some time together before i had to go through security and head to the gate. security went really smoothly and waiting was kinda ok with adyson. she was a little cranky but right before we boarded she fell right to sleep! i was so excited and knew take off would be a breeze.........

so everyone is on the plane, i'm sitting next to this really nice chick, the engines are running, we go through the whole seatbelt, crash info stuff, then.....everything shuts off. one big sigh come from everyone, adyson wakes up and the captin comes on the speaker saying theres a problem with one of the engines and we all have to get off with all of our stuff.....ok i have a back pack, a diaper bag and a baby...no so easy, i only have 2 hands!

well we get off...and by this time its 3:20...already an hour later then we were supposed to be going....well we wait for a while (like 30 min or something) and i am so worried about my connecting flight from seattle to spokane but they said it would all be taken care of. well they announce on the speakers that its fixed and ready to be boarded. i am so happy to hear that! i just want to be on my way, and get adyson somewhere because she is being a pain and screaming at everything, happy screams and crabby screams. well i show my ticket to the lady and head down the hall to the plane....well a guy comes out of the plane and tells us to turn around, theres more stuff to be worked on. by this time i want to just sit down and cry......well a little bit later as i'm sitting there trying to make adyson calm and happy they say that the flight is totally cancelled and i need to wait in line or call and book a new flight. well after being frustrated, tired, cranky, trying to call everyone to tell them the news, without thinking i told them to just refund my ticket. i could have gotten a flight the next day, for the same price i paid, but after going through that, i wanted to break down. i should have booked another flight! but oh well. its over and done with....i hate flying!!!
