Airlines vs. My Life
Why at any given time my life is disturbingly similar to that of any given major airline:
• The cost of fuel is steadily rising and your “vehicle” has a large appetite.
• Despite making every effort to keep a tight schedule there is always one or two passengers that will hold your trip up and make you late. (The fact that mine are usually under the age of 13 is of no significant consequence.)
• Even when the weather is good, it seems that there is always a bit of turbulence.
• When things aren’t so good, please place your head between your knees and brace for impact, it can get kind of rough around here at times.
• When you get everyone from point A to point B without incident, on-time, and safely, all they notice is the lack of quality snacks, the high price of beverages and lost luggage. (I offer breakfast before school, they always want to stop for something to drink, and someone always forgets a backpack, folder, shoes, jacket…)
• When you are late, even the airport or connecting airline (or school administrator) won't acknowledge that the traffic was out of your control.
• You are always just a few flights short of declaring bankruptcy…

That's hilarious!
But what about the air sickness bags? :->
what about-- one wrong move and you will fall from the sky and die a fiery death?
ok, maybe that was a stretch. I hate flying though, and I have to do it all the time. haha.
Except the airline occasionally says "thank you". :)
I love reading your blog and the way you look at things. You have to have a sense of humor when dealing with kids!
... let's not forget that moment of "hold your breath" until you realize you indeed, are, back on the ground.
LMAO! That one made my night!
