Fedex has my cloth wipes held up in Atlanta. 4 hours north of me. It says they wont be here until Thursday or Friday. WTF.

Yeah, that.

I got Fromm this time because every where else was still out of Acana. If I had known he was going to turn up his nose to it for 2 weeks, I would have just waited him out and gotten Acana when it was re-stocked rather than this 30lb bag of high quality dog food he's just turning his nose up at.

I was going to try Fromm but I decided to go with back to basics

The more I think about this the more it pisses me off.

I got on a plane this morning to fly back to Boston.
I had a first class seat, splurged because I hate dealing with thanksgiving break craziness and all was good.
I like airports and like flying most of the time...and better yet, I find out that it the 2 seat little row, the seat next to me isn't booked so YAY ROW TO MYSELF. 2 seats to spread out and sleep! I mean, it's a really early flight.

Now, the plane is crowded but I come to discover that there is this lady flying with her child (like..9ish years old boy I would guess) and they couldn't get tickets together so they are separated. I am sitting on the only two seats available and nobody will trade with them because they both have middle seats.

I must have a big sign on my forehead that says SUCKER because the flight attendant kneels down and asks me if I would trade with the woman's seat and give up my AWESOME FIRST CLASS SOLO ROW for them and wtf am I supposed to say?! NO?!
So I say yes, I'll trade with her and her kid. The flight is only 3 hours and she wants to sit next to her child so I felt bad. I mean..thanksgiving spirit and all. The flight attendant is of course super nice and thankful and give me a snack and points for the admirals club.

So I am gathering my things and this woman and her child stroll up to me and are STANDING next to me waiting and just STARING with blank annoyed faces as I gather my things. Like they think I'm taking too long.

BITCH I TRADED YOU MY EXPENSIVE FIRST CLASS SEAT FOR YOU AND YOUR **** CHILD!!
I hope you enjoyed the blanket, pillows, huge seat, a/c adapter and food that I PAID FOR YOU UNGRATEFUL PEANUT BRAINS!

She just stands there impatiently with her kid who has already lounged himself in the seat next to me and when I get up she plops her butt down and that is IT.
The flight attendant thanks me and then brings me back to my tiny squished seat in row 30.
30!!!
Whatever. the flight was fine. I mean, it's the PRINCIPLE of the matter. Like..why wouldn't you at least say thank you?! she didn't even make the kid say thank you!! RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE

YOU ARE THE REASON EVERYONE THINKS PARENTS ARE A BUNCH OF ENTITLED A HOLES AND BTW YOU ARE RAISING A LITTLE ENTITLED A HOLE.

Looking back, I wish I would've just been the kind of person to be like "You know what? No. I don't like your attitude and I am keeping my seat."
but no, I just sat there packing my things and smiling like they were doing me a favor. UGH.

Next time this comes up I want to be like "Next time try booking your flight earlier if you want to sit next to your kid! NOT MY PROBLEM."
but of course I will probably just do it again.

SUCKER.

Good for you for doing the right thing, but yea I wouldn't have been so kind there at the end. I think my Thanksgiving/Holiday spirit has come and gone faster than a blink of an eye.

BTW those first class seats are EXPENSIVE AS HELL! I just googled them earlier today and holy moly macaroni.

The world needs more people like you, Fran.

It's a shame the flight attendant didn't do some quick thinking and tell her, "Oh, wait, I've just been told we can't trade first class seats for coach so you'll have to go back to your original seats."

And really, she shouldn't have asked someone in first class to swap with someone in coach.

arghhhh Rosey is sick. And I can't, for the life of me, figure out why she would be. We did NOTHING different, other than go on a hike with stardogs and Aeri on Tuesday. But we stayed away from other dogs... she even wasn't really interacting with Aeri.

There's a dust speck behind the screen cover on my phone... It's an otter box defender so it's hella annoying to take off an put back on but I've tried to ignore the speck and I just can't anymore. Ugh.

I have no more juice. This is horrible. Nothing to drink D:
