Looooooong day!!

So Monday at 5:15, John Blake calls me and asks me to come to a cheerleading certification seminar in Atlanta....on Tuesday! So I flew out at 8:10 am conferenced all day and flew back by 9:30 pm. What a crazy day... My return flight was delayed because of severe storms (initially I was supposed to leave at 9:15 pm and arrive at 9:30, but I called an was bumped up because our meeting was finished early. Well, then because of the storm delay, I still arrived at 9:30. I bet they will refund John his $25.00 change flight fee!!! RIGHT) and when we finally boarded, my seat was 19c. This is the very last seat before the potty room. Well, I thought something had exploded in the potty room, it smelled so bad!!! I was holding my jacket over my nose and I could still barely breathe!! So I patiently waited until everyone had boarded and when I noticed the extra seats, I asked if I could move. She of course said yes, and I ran to the front of the plane! When I turned around 5 other people were following me, it was so smelly! What a disaster!! So we sit on the runway for 25 minutes and then we finally take off. The flight is freezing!!! I am shivering! Oh yes, I forgot to mention that when I arrived at the airport it was a monsoon and I was SOAKED!!! Even though some man let me walk under his umbrella, I was walking in water up to my calves! So I am wet and now cold and the flight attendant says "oh right, there are no blankets on this flight!" So that is my luck, and then I land and have to trek to my car and then stop at Walmart (what mom doesn't have to stop at Walmart daily???) and now I am home and ready for bed!
