craziness


Yesterday was the longest day in history...
The info I had showed Becky flying out of Redding at 6:15, landing at SFO at 7:30, leaving SFO at 11 am to go to DC. I set my alarm for 3:45, but I kept waking up from about 2:30 on, because I was scared of oversleeping. I took a shower at 3:45, got everyone ready, and we were out the door by 4:30 am. The van wouldn't start. We tried to jump start it for about 20 minutes, then squished everyone into the explorer. It's now about 4:50, I'm thinking- no problem, the flight doesn't leave until 6:15.
We got stopped about halfway down by windmills...they are building 40 story tall windmills on our ridge line to send power to LA, and the huge pieces come up by semi truck with about 8 CHP's escorting, and you have to pull over and let them by.
Anyways, we ended up getting to the airport at 6:04, come to find out the flight plans had changed, flight left at 6, not 6:15. We dropped the boys off at my mom's house, and drove to SFO as fast as we could to get Becky on the connecting flight, which was now leaving SFO at 10:28 instead of 11. By the time we got her bag checked and she went through the security line, she made it to the plane with 15 minutes to spare.
I was supposed to go to a Foursquare Pastors and Youth leaders conference in Eureka last night...but I didn't make it. We made it home around 5:30 last night, and I was so exhausted, I forgot all about Thomas' team party that was at 6:00. His coach brought his trophy by around 7:30.

  1. Oh man! That does sound like a crazy day! So glad you were at least able to get her on the connecting flight in time.

    Poor Thomas, hopefully he gets to see his friends at other times and not just during baseball season.
