Wifi should be free
Mar 22, 2008 Parenting
I’m sitting here in the Chicago airport updating on MarsEdit (it’s a blog editing program) but I won’t be able to upload here because their wifi isn’t free. I’m hoping Madison sleeps on the next leg of our trip because that child chattered the whole way here and my brain hurts. She’s pretty wired. We just spent the last half hour riding the motorized walkways back and forth. It made her positively giddy. (I snapped pictures to prove it.)
Madison found the flight exciting and the woman who had the window seat was nice enough to give it up so that Maddie could plaster herself against the window. Most thrilling of all was that I let her order a sprite from the flight attendant and sipping on that kept her busy (I drank most of it because a child with that much energy doesn’t need the sugar influx). She was also impressed with the tray tables and is looking forward to having the laptop sit there so she can watch Thomas on the next part of the flight. And she liked that there are shades on the windows, which she can push up and pull down, which she did, several hundred times. Now she’s singing and she’s pretty loud. I hope people think she’s adorable instead of annoying. Truthfully it’s probably a mixture of both.

We’re here! It was a long, hard plane ride but we survived. Madison slept but no one else did so she’s running around the hotel room making a fuss over everything and we’re all growling at her. Poor Madison — cursed with high energy! Now Noah’s crying so I’m signing off. (sigh) Traveling is mundane hell.

I agree wi-fi should be free-but look at me typin’ from my kitchen table–wooohooo. Got the wireless workin’. Joe even hooked up the extenal harddrive and freed up 23 g!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey he also just found your card with the $10 you gave him. He may be good at keeping track of what people owe him but he ain’t no good at going through his pile o’ crap oh I mean very important papers and cashing! Sleep well and enjoy yourselves.

Sometimes your daughter reminds me so much of Liam - except that he’s now six and has settled down a tiny bit. And I love him to bits, but boy I’m glad that Mikaela is not quite so high energy. One is enough!
