Tomorrow Katherine and I are taking a short trip to visit friends. Sam has to stay home. This will be Katherine's 10th round trip on an airplane and it is only a one hour flight yet I am nervous. I will be flying alone with her. I do not have a real ticket since I am flying with a buddy pass that my brother gave me (meaning standby). It is Southwest Airlines so there are no seat assignments. I just hope that I can preboard but I heard that they no longer do that for people with kids. I will probably not be in boarding group A so I will have to choose a center seat and who wants to sit next to the lady with an almost 2 year old on her lap? Also I realized that while Katherine is a very seasoned traveler, this will be her first flight since she has been weaned. That means that if she is upset or her ears hurt I no longer have that tool to comfort her. I know it is only a one hour flight so even if she is a terror it is over quickly and I will never see those poor business men sitting on either side of me again.
If you think of me, say a prayer in the morning at about 9am.
