In case you were wondering…..
I have been known to be a fireball and I’ve known to be a doormat. It all depends on the situation. For instance, when I paid for a ticket to fly back in May and I got screwed, I screwed with that airline. I called customer service and I let my emotions get the best of me. And, my husband was agitated but no where near as agitated as I was.
Now, today, on Tuesday after Blogher ended and I am still sitting in Chicago in an airport. Everyone I know is agitated and upset. My husband, my mother and fellow bloggers alike are asking me how and why I am still laughing. It is a free flight. How can you get upset when something is being given to you?
I miss the heck out of my kids. And, they finally talked to me today for the first time in days but to be perfectly honest, the other stuff really doesn’t bother me. I am tempted to say that I will not be going on any other trips this year but I can’t say that I will not go because logically there are reasons that I would travel again without even thinking twice.
But, this trip, this free flight, I refuse to get upset and be a pain in the butt over it. I mean, it’s not like there is anyone to blame, right? I could have bought a ticket much earlier today and been home by now, but I’m stubborn and I honestly do not like to spend money that I hadn’t planned on spending. I won’t say it would be spending un-necessarily, but just not necessarily something I planned to do.
I thrive on organization and plans and thus the not knowing is killing but at the same time, I also knew all day long that I would still be here at this time, there were too many people on standby ahead of me. So, I make good use of my patience, I learn to have more patience and I take every chance I get to work and….people watch…ok, I’ve done more people watching than anything but that’s ok……right?
