Sunday...

• woke up to the alarm at 6:30 a.m. (which makes me up at that time both days this weekend....sigh)
• threw on some clothes and jumped in the car
• stopped for gas, and Starbucks
• drove to the airport, arriving to pick up my gate pass at 9:15 for Rooster's 9:50 arrival
• got told the plane was early and landing ....ummmm...now
• run through terminal
• encounter enormous line at security with a sign "wait from this point is 30 minutes"
• get completely flustered and upset that my 13 year old son is on the other side of this 30 minute wait, wondering where I am
• attract the attention of a (nice) TSA agent who strolls up and asks if I'm okay.....evidently my antsiness was a bit of a red flag (understandably)
• explained the situation to her
• she tells me that if I'll volunteer for the backscatter, she'll get me through faster
• I agree
• TSA looks at me naked
• I get through security in under 10 minutes
• run through the rest of the terminal
• arrive at gate, out of breath, just as the last passengers (including Rooster) are walking off
• give him embarassing hugs in public
• buy him Chinese food in the airport (at 9:30 in the morning...ick...but that's what he wanted) because his asshat father neglected to feed him or buy him food for the plane
• collected his suitcase, and my car
• drove just under 2 hours home
• relaxed a bit
• went grocery shopping...still can't find a decent ham
• bought chicken instead
• discovered Rooster has eaten ham non-stop for the last week and is immensely relieved that we're not having it again
• made fried chicken, corn on the cob and steamed broccoli for dinner
• Scoote made the mashed potatoes
• ate
• made a little chicken salad for Scoote
• made pineapple jello for Scoote (not sure if she likes that flavor, but we'll see)
• unloaded and loaded the dishwasher
• ate a bit more
• relaxed and watched tv
