Visit to McAllen Texas

Tonight I am spending my first night away from my little sweetie since she was born. We are opening a bilingual call center in McAllen, Texas and I was asked to go work with the management team there this week. So far it has not been a great start. I left the house at 3:30pm to get to the airport and catch a plane at 6am headed to Houston. Got to Houston on time and my arrival gate was right next to my departure gate to leave for McAllen. So around 9am I get on the plane to McAllen. Sitting next to me is a lady who has left yesterday from her 34th anniversary trip with her husband from Belize. Their plane was late so they did not catch their flight home to McAllen and had to go to a hotel at 2am. So she was very ready to get home. About 10 minutes after we were told that we were descending into McAllen we start to head back up again and are then told that the flaps on the plane are not working correctly and to be safe we are going back to Houston. Suffice to say that 45 minutes back was nerve wracking and me and Mitzy (lady next to me) talked about our children and our marriages and how scared we were. We arrived back in Houston and landed safely with all of the emergency crews following us. Then we waited about 45 minutes for another plane and we all boarded back on and finally arrived in McAllen at 1:40pm (was suppose to arrive at 10:30). Did not get into my rental car until 2:30 and finally got to the office at 3:00 (12 hour after I got up). Yes, I should be asleep now but for some reason I am still a little wired. I talked with Scott a little bit ago and Erynn is lovely. She had dinner, bottle and bath and is still wide awake. Maybe we both are on the same hormones. So I am sending kisses to my little girl and my wonderful husband (hugs to you too sis) and will now at least lay down on the great bed in the Hampton Inn. Maybe I will get some sleep and not think about the fact that I have to get back on the plane on Friday.
