It really was a funny avatar!That's funny!They were baseballs that were Mike from Monsters Inc that I found at the Team Mickey store in DTD last year. Couldn't resist!
Oh Dawn, I left message in a post on your awesome TR. Sorry kiddo.
Not so lucky!
Please tell me your flight wasn't delayed and that you had to sit on the airplane with these people for hours on end.
It was hard, hard, hard to write... But I am glad I did. I miss her terribly. For some reason I am missing her hard these past few days.i
your story of saying goodbye to your mom made me sit here and cry like a baby. ray looked at me like i was crazy, but i wouldn't tell him what i was reading. anyway, thank you for sharing that. you are such a strong person and i really do admire the way you have handled this whole situation.
______________________
Thanks for hanging on everyone. I am not feeling all that well, but well enough to get this out.
I am almost done with the next one, so it won't be long this time. Thanks for the well wishes.

Given that I was on an aisle seat, with a LOUD woman behind me, a LOUD man in front of my DS and some of the LOUD Chilluns with their parole officer across the aisle. We were fit for a FUN flight!
Real fun.
The flight attendants began their safety demonstrations, whilst I promptly got a knee shoved into my back. The first knee was followed by another poke. I then tried to move in my seat to give the offender the opportunity to realize that what she was doing was felt by me. My movements didnt seem to work and soon the pokes in the back came every few seconds.
Shed knee the seat, Id move.
Shed knee the seat, Id move.
My ds asked why I was moving around. I told him what the lady behind me was doing to my seat. I also explained that this was exactly why I tell him to keep his feet off of the seat in front of him when we are in a car or a plane. It seems the LOUDS were giving me some life learning lessons with the pain which they (literally) were causing. I tried to reposition myself in my seat so many times, that I even overheard the passenger behind my son suggest to the LOUD woman that maybe she should take her foot down. But it was a waste, she kept poking me. Every time I moved, she did too. Now I didnt notice she was particularly tall or had legs of a giant, when she stampeded on the airplane. But that was fine. This lady was ON! She wanted to be loud AND a pest to me, that would be just fine and dandy I pulled up my big girl panties and the show was on!
At the end of the safety instruction we were welcomed onto the flight, by the flight crew. Lill diz was personally welcomed, as the flight crew announced to the flight that they had a birthday boy on that flight, who didnt know he was going to WDW until he got to the airport that morning. They wished him a happy b-day and encouraged people to stop by and wish him a happy birthday, if they were up and headed to the loo at the back of the plane. They even announced the secret to spotting the birthday boy, was looking for the boy wearing the Mouse Ears. He was a dead give away, and until close to landing, Lill diz was not interested in removing his ears because he was enjoying people asking him about his surprise. The special attention was good for my ds. Real Good!
This was another sweet momory for this mom. I made sure to bank it in my momory bank for life.
Minutes after take off the LOUD woman behind me decided she was in need of getting something from one of the over head compartments. The seatbelt sign was still illuminated, as we were still climbing into the sky. She blurted, Oh poop! (but used the offensive version), I heard the click of her seat belt and before I knew it she had grabbed the top of my seat (my hair included), pulled herself up and she was out in the aisle, opening overheard bins one at a time, then slamming them shut when she realized it was not the one she needed. The Wonder Woman flight attendant yelled down the aisle to sit down; the seat belt signs is still illuminated.
LOUD woman ignored all pleas.
I looked behind me to check out what was going on. Other passengers were now starring, whispering and a few were even telling her to sit down.
She ignored them and continued opening and slamming doors, until she found the one which contained whatever it was she needed. She slid into her seat (grabbing my seat and yet again pulling the back of my hair)
just as the Wonder Woman Flight attendant approached her read her the riot act.
Another point for the Wonder Woman flight attendant.
At this point the rest of the passengers around us were in a swirl of whispers, giggles and disbelief. At the same time, the LOUD chilluns were questioning what was going on and the adults within the loud family were all bickering. ALL of them, at once, were bickering. We had the LOUD man in front of lill diz, leaning back over his seat, the lady across the aisle and the one behind me all talking, complaining, bickering (not with clean language either) and giving everyone the 5 aisle area a headache. I was doing all I could do distract my ds from what was happening and even debated taking out the electronic devices to distract.
But I didnt. Because yet again
Wonder Woman Flight Attendant swooped in and gave the LOUDS all an earful. This time she threatened to have them removed from the flight for all of the bantering and disturbances they were making.
Take that!
I had never once witnessed someone, yet a group of people be threatened to be removed from a flight. This was new for me. I felt that I was in the middle of a soap opera playing out in front of me. On one side, it would be nice to have them kicked off the flight, but on the other side I was concerned that this would mean that we would have needed to land the flight somewhere to remove the. That I didnt want. So I decided to help the LOUDS out and try to calm the situation.
Before Wonder Woman FA left, I asked for a few pillows. In a whisper I explained that there was something or someone poking me in the back.
As the FA stepped away I leaned back around my seat and in a soft voice, not to offend, I told the LOUD lady that it was unfortunate the misunderstandings of the AM. I am sure they were looking forward to their vacation Blah, Blah, blah. She calmed down and began to whisper back, telling me about the trip they had ahead of them yada yada I finally got to the point of understanding and I explained that I was feeling ill nauseous ill (which I wasnt), and I politely asked the LOUD woman if she would mind if I reclined my seat for a bit. (Now, I reserve pushing my seat back, for instances where the person in front of me also reclines or on international flights, when they lower the cabin lights in hopes that the entire group of passengers sleeps. In this case, nether were happening. I just felt like dishing out some uncomfortableness to one of the LOUDs but in a non offensive, kill them with kindness way).
The FA returned with the pillows right away and she also gave lill diz a flight pin and a special certificate for his birthday travels. I placed the pillows behind me and pushed my seat back to the comfortable reclined position
Take that!
In the ut most kind way, I made the LOUD lady uncomfortable for the remainder of the trip. Well at least until all seats needed to be placed in their upright position.
I had packed new notebooks, Leapster game, A DVD player and a few movies to keep my lill diz busy for his flight. I also packed him a sippy cup. Yep, a boy who was turning 6 got a sippy cup for his flight and it was well worth the plan. That sippy cup was dropped on the floor more than once. Had it been a real cup, this momma would have been sitting with wet pants for the duration of the trip = a not so happy momma.
I was lucky enough to close my eyes and listen to the Martha Stewart Channel of the satellite radio for the duration of the flight. I cleared my head. Put both the LOUDS and my family troubled behind me, for awhile.
We didnt hear or feel much more from the LOUD family for the remainder of the trip, that was at least until we landed. Both the Loud Man, sitting in front of my ds and the LOUD woman behind me slept for most of the flight. When we finally landed the entire plane popped their seatbelts the minute we hit the gate, and jumped up into the aisle in Olympic speed. The seat belt sign was still illuminated and all.
Everyone was reaching for their luggage in the over head bins, people attempting to scoot pass one another in order to get to the correct over head compartment. The LOUDS were frantically yelling over and pushing past people to try and locate and account for their worldly possessions. I directed lill diz to sit still and wait until it was our turn to deplane. As we all waited (some of us sitting) the plane became hot fast. Welcome to Florida HOT! It seems that the minute the pilot docked the plane at a gate, (s) he also automatically turn off the air conditioning. Those pilots want to make sure to give you a whole hearted Florida Welcome! Ohh and we felt that Florida welcome and the lovely warmth and boy it felt HUMID! Bleeeechhhh!
After finally deplaning we looked for the nearest bathroom to change clothes. I had stowed some cooler clothes from lill diz in my carry on, as we had just made a 40 degree sweep in climate (not including humidity). But we were both too excited to get our game on and decided to change when we got to our destination. We walked fast and forward. Both knowing exactly where we were headed. Straight ahead of us was a welcome sight of THE airport monorail, the first monorail ride marking a vacation to Disney.
Lill Diz knew exactly were to go on the monorail and executed his wait and entrance onto the monorail with familiarity. He was an old pro, at almost 6, after all. Once aboard the ride he sat with excitement and gave a play by play of the events to precede us in the next few minutes.
We exited the monorail and looked for the friendly welcome of the ME MICKEY hands waving us ahead.
But there were none.
Where did they all go?
We both agreed that the people waving their MICKEY hands MUST be at lunch. They had to be at lunch.
Right?
We were both used to being welcomed with waving white hands, minutes after departing our first Monorail ride of our vacation. But this time there was no waving, puffy white hands to welcome us .anywhere. I certainly hoped that was not a precursor for what was to come
UP NEXT: Still not tellin

I accidentally changed it, thinking I was doing my siggie and then couldn't get it back because the file was too large. Finally took the time to re-size it and put it back as I liked it too!

Oh wow, did you have an eventful flight
That reminds me an episode of that show AIRLINE, where there was a group of like 20 people who were so rowdy, that when they landed t hey were escorted off the plane by the police
I love how you got back at Mrs Loud, in a subtle way
Hope you are feeling better

GREAT strategy of killing the LOUD lady with kindness. i try to remember to do that but sometimes my temper gets the best of me! i can't wait until the next installment......the best part of the trip....going under those wonderful gates and knowing you have the entire trip ahead of you! 
girl you have a better temper than i do, the minute that woman started poking me in the back i would have made a comment on how i was not at the doctor getting allergy shots to please leave my seat alone..lol

Now that was a funny update... however I am sure if I had been you or even on the flight I would have been so annoyed. You really handled yourself in a way that your kids can be proud... so love your flight attendant!
