Nightmare in Asheville......Part II

Crashed the f*ck out on the 6 am flight to O'hare 

As you know if you have read http://mommybags.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-does-shitpart-i.html you know that we had a very hard 7 days of travel. We attended a wedding in North Carolina and of course when you travel with a toddler you are placing bets that you might end up more exhausted than when you first left for the trip. The wedding was beautiful,  the bride gorgeous, the event super fun.  I however wish that we were able to enjoy ourselves a little bit more and could have spent more time hanging out with family. GG was so sick I ended up spending most of my mini vacation in the hotel room which kinda of sucks no matter how nice it was.  I am used to getting out of the house each and every day and by the 3rd day I could feel the walls closing in on me. GG sounded like death and she could not breath. The nights were even worse because she was sleeping with us in bed{a big NO NO for me} but the girl's wheezing and the cough was horrible she sounded like a 90 yr old 3 pack a day smoker. I felt for her. The rest of the trip was up an down one day she had energy the next day zero....She had not really eaten regularly for a week so she lost weight and seemed weak and not her usual peppy self. The air in Asheville was so full of pollen yu could not even walk and breath at the same time. The plane ride back was OK she lost her shit for about  10 minutes during take off because she was so tired - we had gotten up at 3:30 am to leave for the airport.  She finally settled down for the plane ride and slept for the whole flight on you guessed it....MOI.... because we did not want to wake her I was stuck in the same awful position for 4 hours and was made to watch We Bought a Zoo. It was not bad and made me cry like a little bitch for two hours......on a plane....... with other people looking and flight attendants wondering if I was on some  kind of crazy meds.

The loves of my life 

Sick as a dog but pulled through for her flower girl position 

Of course when you have a child that hacks, sneezes and drools sickness all over you for a week what happens your dumb ass gets sick. I got up this morning feeling and looking like crap. I need to bring GG to tumbling but by the way she looks like and I feel like this am it looks like we will have to just say home and get better. She is eating which is good I think she missed her food and my cooking. Eating out is fun but not 7 days a week 3 times a day - Bleh. We also do clean eating and if you don't have the choice to eat like that when your traveling stomachs go crazy. Oh if that was not enough I am dealing with a sick dog...you see dog number 2 is a very nervous, very high strung and scared doggie. She was after all a rescue. Any time I change her schedule and we are gone for extended period of time she gets weird. Her stomach goes nuts and it is diarrhea and throw up fun.  I have got to say this has been the worst travel we have ever experienced and I have been in the Amazon jungle and flown with full on food poisoning from Ipanema to Sao Paulo. Husband and I have agreed that for a bit we will be doing road trips until GG gets a little older. Napa wine country is only 45 minutes away and there is a bunch of crap do to near by to keep my little one busy for years. If I need tropical Mexico is hop skip and jump away. Today I have a butt load of laundry and I am going to spend the day with the dogs and myself and my child chillin and getting better.

All I can say is there is no place like home..
