Waiting and Waiting

On Friday, my son was supposed to fly out to see his grandparents.  When the flight was first delayed, then cancelled, and rescheduled for the next day, I was surely disappointed in a selfish way -- wanting my scheduled time to myself. 
Here's how it went:

taking my son to the airport
check in, flight delayed 3 hours
head back home and ... wait.
back to the airport... flight cancelled
head back home and ... wait.

Flight rescheduled for Sat at 1:45pm

Taking my son to the airport
get checked in
and of course they say
"everything's on schedule"

Plane boarded
Ahhh, my sigh of relief

Flight delayed 30 minutes
broken door handle.

Still waitin'

Ohh God we're switchin' planes

They're putting us back on the same damn plane!

They finally departed at 4:15.....

Who could make this stuff up?? *chuckles*
That was my entire day...
wait, wait, wait, wait



"Experience has taught me this, 
that we undo ourselves by impatience.  
~Michel de Montaigne

Which means I spent a huge portion of my day just waiting around.
I did happen to spend a little bit of it working on my photography, and getting to know the area where the airport is.  So I'm trying to call it even-steven, that I traded alone time for photography time. And that's ok :)
