Leave it to me....

So I flew home to CO for a week. I was suppose to fly back to El Paso last night. We are on the plane on the runway. After about 30 minutes they decide to tell us that our planes breaks are not working. So they tow us back into the gate. Then we have to walk seriously to the other side of the airport to go to a certain gate to get tickets for another flight. Obviously there are none for the night as it is now 10:30 PM. And I had to wait for my bag as I had to curbside check it. So I get to the gate/desk and I am for real at the END of the line of all the people who were on my flight. Thank goodness I make friends with a boy who is 18 and a girl about my age. We made light out of it all as what else were we suppose to do.

After seriously being in this line and standing for an hour and 25minutes I get to the counter! They say they can put me on stand by for the 9:40am flight to El Paso...which I know I will not get on as everyone else is on the same thing. Or leave at 7am and go to Phoenix and then connect to El Paso and get there at 11:20am. So I took that route plus I would be leaving earlier. I know it is stupid but I did not have my lil brother come get me as by the time I got to the front of the counter it was nearly 1am and not worth it if I had to be back in like 4 hours.

They offered a hotel room but I declined as I was so tired by the time I got settled in the hotel it would be 2am and I would have to be up in 2 hours. I know myself and it would have been too hard for me to get up. So they also gave food vouchers so I took one and got food and went to the gate. By this time I was hurting so I took a viciodin and laid down...yes on the airport ground. I sleep for about about 3 hours. Then got up and did homework. I am ready to leave now! I just want to be home in my bed sleeping!! The airline also gave me a voucher for $100 on my next flight through Frontier within a year. So they were nice about it even though it stunk!! So about another 50 mins and we will board. Thank goodness!

On a better note...yesterday I receieved a call from a lady saying I sent her my application a month ago and if I was still interested!!!! YAY!! I think it was a daycare but hey that is with kids and gets me working. So we played phone tag so once I know more I will post.

XOXO,
Megs
