GO SHIP 11 DIVISION 123!!!!!
Just found out that my flight has been cancelled and now I will have to leave 13 hours earlier than planned. While I'm glad and grateful that I will still land in Houston as scheduled; I am really sad that I probably will, once again, miss speaking with my son. But at least he can call and speak with his dad. Maybe, just maybe, if I am very lucky I will be off the plane in London and he can call my mobile. But whatever happens it'll be fine cause I will finally be seeing him in less than a week. Just can't wait to see him and to meet as many of you all as I can.
Almost over now.......
Thoughts and prayers for all our guys and for their continued success in BattleStations.
Take care all-
Traci

Safe trip, Traci - we have some lovely, Chamber of Commerce weather waiting for you! It was 53 and crisp this morning. The pollen is settling down and most people are breathing again - man was it bad this year! Have a safe trip!

yes - safe travels, Traci. I am glad that you will get to Houston as scheduled. I also hope you can get a call yourself. I know how very special that is.
Mumz - speak for yourself. I am still not breathing well. I have not shaken this "whatever-it-is" that started hitting me over a week ago and now the allergies have kicked into high gear. I can't remember when I have had so much congestion! Ugh!

Katie ended up at a clinic for a steroid shot, antibiotics and nasal spray - she was so congested and swollen from all the pollen and then a sinus infection set in - you want to be healthy for the flight, you should go see someone! Do I need to come get you and take you?

I would LOVE for someone to take care of me and get me to the doctor and make me take care of myself!! Unfortunately, the time is not available. I forgot to take Zyrtec for 2 nights and I woke up at 3am and could not breath. I took it then and I am doing better. Fortunately, no infections that I can tell. Just a killer headache and I want to sleep. I will get some rest this weekend and get to feeling better.
Ex wrote me a note to say he and his wife were attending PIR and wanted to offer me to have either lunch or dinner with my son so that they could take the one that I did not choose. **rolling eyes** I said that there are far too many variables to be able to make such plans. I then told him that once Ryan understands what sort of time he has available, I will let him tell me how he would like to spend it.
That part I will not like about next weekend.

You are right Ryan is the one who should decide how to spend his time. I cant believe the ex wrote you that letter. Good luck with that one.
I am lucky my ex decided last week he doesnt have the money to go. Now he wont send me my son's laptop, phone and ipod so I can bring it to him next week. Just him wanting to still be incontrol of everything, like usual.
