~ I hate flying. Hate it. Not because I haven’t done it enough. I have. Done it. A lot. And I still hate it. It scares me to death. Jared says it’s because I’m silly and still believe in the “Illusion of Control” … and when I fly, I have to accept the fact that I have zero control over our plane falling from the sky and dying a horrible death. It’s like I said, I hate flying.
~ 5 minutes into the flight, Jared will casually slip on a headset and insist on listening to Air Traffic Control for the duration of the flight ... so I’ll be the one wrestling three kids, handing out snacks and coloring books and incidentally only half-listening when Jared says we’re about to hit some really bad turbulence that may or may not knock over the small cup of ice cubes I’m nervously chewing away on.
~ I will not, under any circumstances, recline my seat. I can’t do it. I won’t. Even if the person in front of me reclined their seat and I’m sandwiched between two strangers and I have a squirmy 2 year-old on my lap and I’m out of ice cubes and the pilot (and my husband) just announced that things are about to get VERY bumpy … I still won’t. No judgment to those who recline their seats, it’s perfectly normal and acceptable and even healthy in most cases … BUT, reclining my seat on an airplane basically feels like I just sat down in someone else’s lap … or stuck my hair in their face … or intentionally and knowingly moved their tray table that extra inch or two closer than they really wanted it to be, and now they're miserable and they hate me and if our plane DOES go down, and it might … they’ll purposely block the aisle so I can’t escape my own fiery death.
~ I hate flying.
~ I really, really do.
(We just got back from Hawaii … I’ll post pictures soon … right now I just really want to focus on how much I hate flying.)

Hawaii! Jealous!
SO funny Lor! XOOXOXOOX
That head pic is hilarious! I hope she/he didn't have lice! Oh no now I've probably added to your list of why you hate flying, sorry!
But on to other things! HAWAII! What the heck! Did Jared get a raise?!? I cannot let my kids hear about this. Hannah thinks she is deprived because she hasn't visited the islands by the ripe old age of 7! :) I simple CANNOT wait to see your pics and hear all about it! Make sure you include every detail! No pressure, just waiting on pins and needles here!
The only thing I hated about flying back from Hawaii was that it was at night and I could not sleep! It was awful!
I'm super impressed that even though you hate flying so much, you will still do it. But who wouldn't with Hawaii being the destination ;)
