Seis in a New Place

"Mom", "Mom", "Mom", "Mom", "mom mom mom mom mom!!!!!" If you are a mom, you know....you know! Kevin and I and our four kids were at the airport last March waiting at the gate to get on a flight to DC, (which we paid $86 round trip per ticket, thank you very much) for spring break. Everyone was in a good mood (how did that happen). No one was fighting (a small, but significant miracle). We were just getting our water bottles filled, making sure devices were charged, going to the bathroom, passing out gum, etc. When our section was called, we stood up to head to the back of the line and a man, probably in his mid-forties, dressed business casual with a laptop on his lap, tapped my arm. His eyes were wide and he said, "Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom! How do you stand it?" Through my laughter I answered, "Oh my gosh, I don't even notice it anymore." I mean, that's what we do, right?
