This Is What Our Today Was Like ....

This lovely photo was in my pics file so it's fair game right?? This is what we ALL looked and felt like after Julie was snowed in in Carolina. Not just snowed in mind you...but stuck..plain 'ol stuck on a sitting Boeing that wasn't going anywhere. So then...neither was she. The plane she had boarded wouldn't de-ice (it just kept refreezing...such a comforting thought knowing your child is on there by herself!!) so they canceled her flight after sitting on the ground for 4 hours...then she had to sleep on the floor of the airport...then re-board the next morning at 6am only to still be in her seat on the plane...sitting on the ground at 11:30...and not yet de-iced.The airline only offered cocktails(!!!!) but no food. Nada. None. My little angel scavenged on M&M's and Pringles from her bag. Then the nifty little de-icing truck ran out of antifreeze....THEN the clincher was when the toilet pipes froze on the plane. Heh. Never heard of that one myself. They let everyone off the plane...only to reboard and arrive home....17 1/2 hours after they were supposed to. She's upstairs now...safe and sound...and asleep. BTW...if you get the chance, watch the original 'Out-Of-Towners' starring Jack Lemon. The dad called her and played portions of the movie to her throughout this remarkable experience. This movie is in this family's official top ten list (whatever that is). Anyway...The mommy now officially hates snow and what it does to airplanes! This was a little stressful! Julie had a marvelous time and I'm sure would love, love to expound on it if asked. Just don't ask about snowy airplanes. Thank you Lord for bringing her home!
