i woke luxuriously at 8am, shower and put aside the last of the clothes for packing. i made breakfast for all while the boys played computer games. Larry and i played SecondLife. Next thing i notice is its 1pm and we haven't had lunch yet. We need to leave for the airport at 2:30! Larry has disappeared, probably for the shower (he had), but that meant he probably wasn't in a panic yet... i finished my packing, then made lunch for everyone. Leftovers. i packed snacks, then back into SecondLife for 15 minutes to say bye and zip off. NOW he's in a panic.
Xan has been picking on AJ for weeks. i guess that's what big brothers do, but its not nice. The heat doesn't help. It's 105 outside, and the heat and humidity are unbearable. It may contribute to everyone's irritability.
The taxi arrived smelling of sweat and smoke. The boys do the "he's touching me" routine in the back seat, so i sit between them. We get there in plenty of time, which was good because there's something wrong with the tickets. 30 minutes later, that's taken care of, then an hour to get through Security. i'm glad we arrived extra early. Everyone gets a snack, and i get aspirin for my back.
We are hit with a blast of heat as we board the plane. Then ... wow ... surrealistic fog fills the plane as the air conditioner cools down the air. My stomach is in knots and the boys, sitting next to each other, by choice, continue picking on each other. My husband is in the row behind, reading, then napping.
We arrive in Las Vegas at 10pm local time, and are greeted by 105 degrees of heat at night! Incredible. i now pity the yoghurt i used to make ... this is what the oven felt like.
i have two cranky boys... its past 1am for them. We are all hot and tired. We get to the hotel where i have two unhelpful boys. i make their beds and collapse into my own, still dressed.
