Not soon or long enough!

[Speckta]

If this apartment is a rockin'...

[china cat]

Enjoy the quiet, sister

oh, wait...

[KindGeeGirl]

My kids are gone with their Dad for like 12 days. It is weird when they are gone that long. I tend to get VERY low maintenance. Dinner, beer and pretzels Lunch/Dinner, brownies. You get the idea

[Ginger Snap]

I told the kids to make sure they put all of their liquids into a quart size zip lock so Abby comes out with a baggy full of clear liquid. "No babygirl, put the bottle of perfume into the bag not pour the liquid into the bag."

I imagine I''ll be eating a lot of pizza and china sent me home with an entire blackberry pie.

[Jwheelz]

sounds like you're gonna spend a pretty decent amount of time eating China's pie


(baked desserts are quite good)

[Eco]

Two weeks of no kid time, Santa Claus came to your town! Doubtful he checked that list twice.....

[TEO]

You'll miss them before the two weeks is over.

I'm assuming that was to wit?

[Ginger Snap]

Damn it- they missed their flight. They didn't realize they were supposed to board and the airline gave their seats away.

Wow! Their first misssed flight....how sweet

[nancykind]

oh man! wasn't the airline supposed to be helping them or are they too old for that?

[Tim the Beek]

Yikes! Is there another one soon?

[nancykind]

and if they had checked in but then didn't make it onto the plane, i would have hoped that the airline/airport would have put out a search party! were they not rather cavalier about a couple of missing kids??

[Ginger Snap]

Yeah I told them to check in at the desk so i'm not exactly sure what happened there.- and I called the airline before hand and they don't really pay attention to kids unless they're 12 and under. Hopefully they'll be on the 9am cause they're not coming back home!

[Tim the Beek]

Hopefully they'll be on the 9am cause they're not coming back home!

There's a movie in there somewhere, ala Home Alone.

Or maybe an action flick. Two kids left at the airport for a coupla weeks kick the terrorists' asses!

Yippie ki-yay, mutha fucka...

[Ginger Snap]

Fucking they're on standby along with 25 other people trying to get to the same place. They had a flight with one seat but Jerry said they're not splitting up. I can't believe they gave their freaking seat away. :headbang:

hope they're able to make it out on the next flight!

[deadheadskier]

they didn't take airport advice from sean did they?

[tiedyesky]

Have a most excellent adventure!!

[fire_rocket]

Oh boy... hope they get out together today!

[seany]

they didn't take airport advice from sean did they?

[Ginger Snap]

It's okay sean- my sister said the same thing to me- about me.

I should keep them together though right? There's only two more flights out today that are nonstop- if i could get Abby on either of those I would say she should get on it- jerry I'm more confident could navigate Baltimore airport if he had to change planes.

[Ginger Snap]

I wish July would stop bleeding into my august. :mad:

[KrisNYG]

Ugh! I'd bet Jerry could handle Baltimore easily. Would be best to keep them together if possible but they could handle it. Come on, they're YOUR kids! Hang in there.

[Deadshow Dan]

tsk tsk, jinxing yourself with this thread.

Hope it resolves right away!

[Ginger Snap]

I'm going to pick them up- got them on a flight tomorrow with a connector in milwaukee. Sounds like they overbooked the day so it's the only guaruntee of a seat. Poor kids.

[china cat]

that sucks

i would not have broken them up but i'm a worry wart so don't listen to me. i was having panic attacks about my 21 year old flying to Cali on a direct flight.

[KindGeeGirl]

They are back. That sucks..........I mean, happy thing are ok

[Ginger Snap]

If I could have gotten Abby there on a nonstop flight I would have done it, but it was looking unlikely. - yeah, we definietly have differnet parenting styles.

Oh they're back and they're pissed. They are so my kids.

[JBetty]

I hope the cases of baby oil didn't arrive yet.

[Ginger Snap]

Hell I had to kick everyone out when I got home before they started lubing up.

[JBetty]

Damn kids these days.

[KindGeeGirl]

My kids have been gone for 7 days. The remote hasn't been lost once and I haven't raised my voice. If I didn't miss my daughter's cheeks and my son's sarcasm, this would be perfect. I will go smell their pillows. Then drink a beer for breakfast

[Ginger Snap]

Enjoy your peace.

Round 2- hopefully they get on this plane and then easily get on the connector. I sent enough sandwiches and apples to carry them through til Halloween. It's going to be a long day awaiting the phone call that they have been retrieved by my sister.

[JBetty]

Bye kids! Don't forget to text!

[KrisNYG]

Fingers and toes crossed for you on the second attempt!

[nancykind]

fly kids, fly!

[TEO]

Note: I wouldn't have split them up either.

[Ginger Snap]

So jerry just called me a little while ago and and I thought they were supposed be in the air by then on their connecting flight and almost threw up in my lap before he reminded me of the time zone difference.

[KrisNYG]

Good job kids!!! Do they have any sandwiches left?

[Lemireacle]

[Ginger Snap]

I've decided to spend my first childless evening cleaning my apartment top to bottom while I suck on a cocktail so I can get the full experience for two weeks of what it might be like if I did not have children. To come home with everything in exactly the same condition I left seems wholly outside the realm of reality. I even bought a pint of ice cream and plan to only eat a little of it to see if it will still be in the freezer tomorrow when I come home from work. We shall see.
