Nov...so far

Well, the weekend after Halloween was pretty uneventful. But, Monday - Oh boy! We were supposed to fly to FL for a Disney World vacation. We got to the airport 1/2 an hour early - a little later than what we'd planned, but still w/ plenty of time to catch the plane, right? (Springfield airport is very small - no lines, etc.,) Well, when we got there, no one was at the ticket counter - but there was another lady waiting at the counter to be checked in too. I had to go behind the counter and knock on the employee door to get someone to come to the counter. He started to check us in, but then a lady came over to him and said the flight's closed, they're too late. WHAT??????? We were there 1/2 an hour early, no one at the counter, the plane is still sitting there outside w/our seats open, and you're NOT going to let us on it? Well, let's just say I was NOT happy, and was sure to let them know that. We argued and talked and brought up options until the plane actually left. Even Damian got his 2 cents in. He told them he knew they could let us on the plane and were CHOOSING not to, and that they were wasting our time by arguing. (GO, D!!!) Bottom line - we're now going next week instead. The kids actually handled it very well. Frank stayed cool, calm and collected and rationally talked to the guy at the counter until we got our tickets for next week settled. I cried. When we got home, I apologized to Frank for getting so upset (the guy at the counter was scared - said he thought I was going to throw something at him!) Frank actually thought it was fun to see me get that upset because it doesn't happen often - well I guess I have nothing to be sorry for, then. ;) He told the ticket guy that he'd never seen me that upset, but he'd only met me 18 years ago, so maybe he didn't know me that well. Haha, Frank!
To make up for the day being so disappointing, we went to a show in Branson Monday night. We had tickets to see the Baldknobbers. It was very funny. The jokes were mostly geared toward people older than us, but still funny. Angel loved all the musical numbers, and would even get up and dance in our aisle. Damian really enjoyed the comedians. It's so funny to me that they're such opposites. When the comedians would come on, Angel would ask "why do these guys keep interrupting the songs?" When they'd start singing, Damian would roll his eyes and endure "another song". So funny. They did both get autographs from the whole cast and pics taken w/a few of them.
The rest of the week has been back to business as usual. I've been helping at the school, the kids have gone back to classes, Frank's been working on our house. Current news there - my cabinets have doors and look awesome! And they're laying the living room sub-floor now.
