You know how you go away and have a really nice time and then you have to get home back to the reality and you kind of dread it and then you get to the airport two hours before your scheduled flight because you and your husband are kind of anal and you think security lines will be long and then you await your flight and it gets delayed not once, not twice but three times making it a 3 hour delay and you end up kind of losing your good mojo that it was a fun getaway?
You know that feeling?
And then you get on the plane and you want to be annoyed but there's a toddler two rows in front of you singing LALALALALA and you smile and then he sings it louder and then he starts punching his mother in the face because he is two and thinks it's funny and then yells "daddy lap" and starts lalalala-ing again and yelling HI to everyone on the plane.
Went to Chicago for oldest's birthday to see a Yankee game. He wants to see as many stadiums as he can and I do love Chicago so it was a win/win.
We had planned on grabbing a quick bite to eat before the game.
We didn't plan on traffic.
We did plan on grabbing a Chicago hotdog for dinner.
We didn't plan on grabbing a Chicago hotdog from a baseball stadium named a really ridiculous stadium name (Guaranteed Rate field. Really Chicago?)
We did however get really good at using LYFT and UBER and met some great drivers and met one awful driver who rode the brakes the entire ride to the airport. (Sorry dude for the low score on UBER but braking when no one is in front of you is kind of an indicator you shouldn't be driving for a living)
I'm not a huge baseball fan but I am a fan of my kid so I sat through 10 innings of baseball (you know baseball is usually 9 innings, right?) So yea, 10 innings..and that wasn't even the end of it! Thankfully the game kept going and we made it back to the hotel to see the end on TV (Yankees won. Happy kid. Happy Dad. Mom who cared less )
Did some touristy things, ate a lot of junk and you know, ended with an 8 hour day at O'Hare.
Happy Birthday Oldest.
May you always take a bad situation and lalalalala through it to make it happier.
And may you not punch your mother in the face and think it's funny
