    Okay, so, first, did you guys miss me as much as I missed you?!?! :D I missed you guys TONS! <3<3<3

    So my vacation was.. up and down. Full of love but also hyperventilating crying in a bathroom over something someone said to me.

    That's not the over dramatic part, that part is coming soon and it's hilarious now that I look back on it now.

    I got some lovely photos and my souvenir that I brought back was a sunburn and a nasty head cold.

    Here's where we get to the dramatic part. A headcold.. in a plane.. the plane had to stay at this particular altitude because of a 'severe storm' that they had to go around.. it was KILLING my head and making pressure and spikey stabs in my ears. Then we started our actual descent and it got. so. very. much. worse.

    I literally thought I was dying. I was sobbing, wanting to cry out but didn't want to scare my son who is already terrified of the plane and was doing well, and didn't want anyone seeing me because I'm mortified when people see me cry. But it hurt. So. Bad. I thought for sure my head was going to explode into a million pieces. The pressure was so bad and the stabbing spiked pains going through my ears were just awful.

    Now for the over dramatic part..

    One of my first few thoughts? "Oh my Gods, I can't die now, who will tell the girls at the Pad?!?!?!"

    It made me giggle a little and fight through the pain, but then I was like mortified because this lady in the seats in front of my daughters saw me and offered some gum real quick. I was horrified she'd seen me like that (my face was soaked and I was trying everything I could to keep quiet) but SUPER grateful because not only did she care, but offered up a solution.

    The gum helped and took at least the edge off and so I started trying to focus on positive things. So then I decided to imagine the plane FULL of you guys and the conversations that would be going on. It really helped me out and I wanted you guys to know! <3

    :grouphug:stash

    Now if I could just kick this cold... :sickie

    Your story totally made me laugh! Although it sounds very very uncomfortable! I hope your sunburn heals quickly!

    I may be morbid, but, um, my dh knows if something happens to me he has to come and tell the Pad. He knows the password and everything. I told him I didn't care if he told Facebook, but he had to tell my scrappy peeps.

    Alright, alright, you are forcing me to admit my deep dark secrets!

    My mom also knows. She has been told to post here in the event something happens to DH and I (with her account of course!). Um, yeah. I'm a little overdramatic too.

    Yikes! That sounds horrid. I have had some awful head colds but never on a plane. So glad the gum helped and imagining us there with you. Of course, you could have also imagined your fellow passengers in their undies - oh wait that is for speeches. Just kidding. Hope you feel better soon.

    This has me giggling too. (not the pain or head cold part! gah that sounds horrible sweetie!) TLP is such big part of our lives and we are touched you think of us like family ... and maybe we all need a little instruction sheet for our loved ones should anything happen.

    @BevG You know that you and I would be trouble makers, running up and down the aisles and asking for more peanuts and caffeine.. >.>

    @jk703 :overreactMe on the plane. LOL! I am really really baaaad at over reacting. Someone will come home late and I'm going "OMG, what if they're stuck on the side of the road, car in flames, stuck under a huge maple tree that fell over them and their phone is JUUUUUST out of reach?!?!?!!!" Cue Michael Bay style stunts and fire everywhere. Then it's like "I just stopped to get gas." or something.. and I feel like an idiot. lol

    @jenn mccabe If you ever wonder, just ask @MrsPeel and she'll verify. You guys ARE family. You all pulled me out of a VERY very very very dark place and every time I feel weak or bad, I come here or think of you guys and am forever grateful!

    :love

    That plane ride sounds awful. Thank goodness for that lady who offered you the gum. But you had me giggling at the story by the end.

    I need to tell DH how to sign on to the Pad now, just in case. :)
