This is how we do it...or NOT!!!
So yesterday marked another new experience...flying with an eight month old baby. I must say that Anderson did an AWESOME job flying considering his curious and inquisitive state of mind. Since I've had Anderson most days have been filled with me longing for a routine...getting up with a plan...only to have it all ruined within an hour because of who knows what happening!
Yesterday I tried to be so prepared in flying. While preperation can pay off in some part...I realized shortly after we got "settled" into our gate that I was going to just have to be flexibe. We wanted to let Anderson have a few minutes to stretch out on the floor and suddenly we hear a voice telling us our flight had not only been delayed...but...oh yes... completely cancelled. Some people would say that's frustrating but not a huge deal. To a mother and wife with perfectionist tendedncies this was a VERY BIG DEAL to me. I had to make a choice in that moment to either freak out or stay calm and just roll with things. I made the choice to stay clam and while yesterday ended up being one of the most tiring days I've had since Anderson was needing to be fed at 2 A.M., we made it to Washington safe and sound.
I'm glad that with the support of my great family and friends and my determination to serve the Lord that I can now just "roll with it" and enjoy life. Maybe one of these days I won't have to mark "perfectionist" on personality profiles!
