Alliclaus Has Reached New Heights...

in her tantrums. We had a full-hour tantrum during our flight to Chicago for BlogHer. To be fair, we had rushed her afternoon nap (she didn't ever fall asleep), then raced to the airport to find out that our flight was two hours delayed. By the time we were airborne, it was already past bedtime and she was not messing around. Our flight attendant was a freaking Nazi and wouldn't let Alliclaus sit however she wanted. Needless to say, I was dangerously close to chucking her out the window at 30,000 feet.

Anyway, I'm getting ready to start my first break-out and was lucky enough that Kim came and sat near me since otherwise my social anxiety would have prevented me from ever saying hi. Ah! I talked to her about Harry Potter! And her son! And I didn't burst into flames. I'll write more later!

Sorry the flight didn't go well, but I'm totally jealous that you got to talk to Kim.

Hope you enjoy the rest of Blogher!

Kids sure can insert their influence at a whims notice.

Where are you? I keep looking for pregnant bloggers with dark hair. I'm peering into the faces of many women, but no you.............

Hoping the flight home goes better. Have fun!

Tantrums in public suck so so bad! But everyone who has or had kids knows that it happens, and sometimes...nothing you can do about it!

You were so brave to bring her!

It was so great to meet you. I'm sorry I didn't talk more -- you caught me while I was stalking the President of NOW! :(

Dude, I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE AT BLOGHER!

And for that, I'm seriously pissed (at myself).
