As I'm dreading an eight hour flight with my four-year-old boy, knowing my only help will come from my six year old daughter, I realize I'm the most ungrateful being to exist. Our family is about to embark on a wonderful adventure. My husband has been given a grant to rest from his job, study in Italy, and be with us all summer in the Umbrian hill town of Assisi. Not only that, but we are beginning our trip by visiting with friends who live on a Scottish farm. I almost called my blog "worldsbiggestwhiner" when I realized how I was miscounting my blessings.
Hopefully my attitude about keeping Luke occupied in a 12" wide seat for eight hours will not be the torture I imagine. And, of course, it will be a full moon.

Oh, Marla, this is so awesome!! Give thanks for the opportunity, and ENJOY! The long flight is a very short part of a whole wonderful summer in Italy! Pack me in your suitcase, and I'll babysit! :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to be sad without my Kira smiling at me tomorrow - good luck on the flight - can't wait to hear how it goes! Yah for Italy - I just watched Eat, Pray, Love last night again and thought of you (only you'll be sitting there with two kiddos!)! FUN!!!!!
