I could not bring myself to run yesterday. I wanted to run my regular 6 route this morning, but I have to save up for tomorrow's big run. Also, I'm bushed. I spent most of Wednesday until 1:30 a.m. packing and repacking my kids suitcases and wrapping gifts for my in laws. It is such a long flight to Chile, I'm having nightmares about the plane disintigrating mid air like that flight last year from Brazil to Paris. I've had nightmares about police and terrorist for two nights. I hate being separated from my children, even if I know they are going to their grandparents house.

wow! Of course you were terrified...that is a long flight and into a foreign country. I remember flying alone on an international flight when I was 18. I talked the entire trip to whoever would listen and distracted myself that way. I'm glad they made it safe...what an exciting summer trip! We went to Goblin Valley for a whole day and that was plenty of excitement for me.

Of course the fast running mommy would understand my angst (28 travel hours). Not only do I hate to fly, I extend my irrational fear to their flights as well! I can just see you chatting away with everyone and anyone on your way to Russia. I wish I could talk to people on the plane for distraction, people start talking to me and I freeze every time there's a little turbulence. I usually have to sit with my head back and pretend I'm sleeping just so I don't scare other people....I'm really bad. My kids however, were so excited to see their 'abuelitos'--they never mentioned once, even the tiniest travel inconvenience (and they lugged a lot of luggage!--one bag for them, the others filled with stuff you can't afford to send down during the year!). Thanks sweet friend for feeling my pain.

Of course..anytime. When are you leaving for Chile? .I'm eating my lunch at the computer trying to get some kind of Saturday with Sasha. He is handling an emergency for work and I'm crushed to not have some time together. Too bad you can't take me along on the plane. I actually adore traveling and flying is no problem. I just might be able to trick you out of your fear with my contagious enthusiasm. Sounds like the fear of flying skipped over your kids too. Good luck on your trip. It's hard for me to imagine you scared and quiet. When I think of you I think of you strong and saucy. Hope that vote of confidence helps a teeny bit. I know fears can be very real and hard to overcome. I've got my own I deal with...like the fear of my husband working Saturdays!!!

I leave this week, in few days. Yeah, people think I'm nicer than I am when I travel because I'm quiet. But that all changed at the luggege carosel...Good luck getting some quality time with the man! Kiss the kids for me :)
