complete meltdown. .....

I'm doing this from my phone. ..so pardon any errors. ..lol. Ok ..The long awaited update from our last plane trip to St . Louis over thanksgiving.  Do you ever see those people with a fussy child throwing a temper tantrum?  Yep ....that was us......my kids pick the worst time to have them. Going there he was an angel. ...and everyone talked to him and complemented him. Coming back .....different child. He is 4 ....and we have had to walk a fine line due to his heart and his throwing up issue over the years. We did notice he was very tired that morning and may not have had enough sleep. He was playing on the iPad before boarding. ..I went across the gate to buy him m&ms ...He asked me if I bought them ..yes ...called for boarding. ...He pushes his umbrella stroller. ..to gate ...then he stops ......I had a sinking feeling. .....He says ....I wanted to go with you to buy the m&ms. ....?? .. still didn't know he was about to explode. ...still walking to the gate ...I wave the bag of candy and walk backwards. ..lol. At this point. ..my child has been replaced with a demon child ...He says ...I dont want those nasty m&ms. ..I want to go buy some with you ..... ??? He then says ...screaming. ...I'm not getting on the plane !!! ..... I'm thinking. ..yes we are !!! I've got football game I have tickets for ..High school play off game at cowboy stadium. ..hello!!! We proceed with this screaming child to gate ..we fight over the stroller. ...He calls the gate agents ..stupid idiots. ..I apologize. ...Keith says ..it's ok ..He could have said a lot worse .. lol....doesn't make it better dear. Screaming all the way down the jet bridge. ...grabs onto the door opening as I carry him on plane. Screams all the way to seat. ....flight attendant. ...greeting us ...did not take enough caution to stay out of striking range ....stop he leans over to us to speak to us and Keifer pops her on her shoulder. ...I apologize again. ....sigh. Get to our row....He won't sit ..I have heavy purse and laptop on my shoulder. ...yell to Keith. ...get this stuff off please! !! He helps. ....now ladies. ..here is where men don't pay attention to details. ...I NEVER put my purse in overhead. ....NEVER ... always keep it and any bag I have under seat in front of me.  He rolls my stuff up and puts in overhead. Now this is my fault. ...I remember. ....my half drunk Starbucks is in my purse !!!! Keifer is still screaming ..now I'm screaming. .oh no!! My drink is in my purse! !!! Dirty look from Keith. ..lol...retrieves my purse ..I save my phone and iPad. ...sit down. ...now I have to get this screaming child to stop and sit in his seat and seat belt on. HA! I kept thinking they were going to escort us off!! Finally I patted his back and he finally shut up and yawned.  I got him in his seat and belt on. We get in the air and he looks at me and says ...I feel much better now.  Oh really! !! That's great. ..now we are going to have a talk !!!! We discussed what happened and he said he was sorry.  Then for the last hour of the flight he proceeds to recite Thomas the train stories in a loud voice. ..gives me a train to play and tells me what to say ..sound effects ..everything. ..replays the same scene over and over. . About trains crashing! !! Can you please not use the word crash! !!! Flight attendant. ..yes same one. .comes by...oh I see he is feeling better now and entertaining the whole plane with his Thomas stories. ...lol..  so next time if you see someone that has a child having a meltdown. ...just look the other way ..lol...and sympathize. ...trust me I wanted to spank him. ...but it would not have helped at that point. ...it could have also made him throw up and I definitely would have made it own you tube. Wish us luck today as we try again today !
