So… we are back… whew! After packing and driving through NYC again to get to JFK airport, we checked in our bags and got ready to get on… well, I forgot what it was like to fly with kids (though it has only been 4 months!)…
Oh, and props to JetBlue for providing complimentary free WiFi spot at JFK so the kids could watch TV ??? ??? ?.
You see, Soojin got sick… she has digestion problems easily and was just feeling terrible. So I had to feed these rowdy and demanding kids. We managed to get some edamame before we got on the plane. Well, I had to peel them all one by one only to be eaten real fast by the hungry kids! I just couldn’t peel them fast enough. After that, they went through couple of cups of OJ and water. Then I had to make sure they were well rested and eventually, they fell asleep… but JJ required me holding him to fall asleep. He likes being held. But I had to stand up in the aisle to comfort him and calm him down during the flight. JJ and Anna had to pee after all that binge drinking too!! All this time, Soojin was just feeling like throwing up…
And she did. When we finally landed. And JJ just had to pee again while people were de-boarding! Ah ya… After we got our luggage, I took the kids with me while Soojin watched our bags (since she still didn’t feel well) to pick up our car at the Sunpark. Well, now, I forgot to bring the keys with me! So we came back… After the key pickup, we went back, came back to pick her up with the luggage.
When we got home, Soojin wanted me to vacuum the place since we hadn’t been home in two weeks. So they waited in the car while I vacuumed and opened up the windows to circulate the air! And since Soojin wasn’t feeling well, my dinner had to be Jin Ramen with tofu in it! Oh well… in the end, two things are clear…
1. It’s tough traveling with kids.
2. It’s good to be back home.
PS. All the time we were in New Jersey, Anna kept on asking when we were going back home. And she was worried that someone would take our cars and our place! Cute…
