while on the subject of phobias....

let's revisit my fear of flying. colin came home from work yesterday really excited. the studio has exceeded the last 6 years of profits for the first four months. nathan took everyone out to lunch and surprised them with the news. apparently if this continues, everyone might be taken on vacation this winter down to mexico to celebrate.

it was all i could do not to cry while thinking about not just my husband boarding an airplane, but myself and liam. ack!! i know, it's a stupid fear. colin says to me "i get scared, too! you only have to get through a three hour flight." i almost threw up in my mouth a little at that. the last time i was on a plane was on a little 45 minute flight from chicago. oh yeah, i was also trashed on vodka tonics. that's not exactly an option when mothering in general and breastfeeding in particular.

i know this is an irrational fear. i have friends who fly every week or so for work. back and forth from KC to DC. they're fine. i think i need to do some hypnosis or something. i mean, here's a chance to go to mexico for free, with colin and liam. i have a while to get over this. it's only a few hours, right?!
