A little nervous

heathrowgaNext week, we're flying up to visit Tom's mother in the middle of nowhere. We bought tickets for 3 of us, and Katie will be a "lap baby." The last time we flew was before Katie came along, and we always had tickets for the 3 of us. We decided to try this one with Katie on laps.
She's so full of movement right now, so I'm quite nervous about how she'll do. The flight is scheduled during their naptimes, so I hope one or both will sleep. Tom has promised to take on his fair share of Katie wrangling, but with his narcolepsy, I often find myself being the on-flight entertainment.
After we land, we have a 5 hour drive to get to his mom's house. We won't have a lick of time (or excess good spirit) between the landing and getting in the car, so I won't even get a chance to

posthaste.
Once we get to Small Town America (tm), it'll be fine. We're going to be in an itty-bitty town (1500 people) for a week. I'm planning on reading a lot and trying to unplug. There will plenty of trying to baby-proof his mom's house on the fly, but that usually simmers down by the 2nd day.
Right now, I'm in the middle of doing a few extra loads of laundry to have our bags packed tonight. We have guests coming in from out of town Saturday (gardenwaltz and h_postmortemus) through Monday, then we leave Tuesday morning. It'll be busy but fun.
I'm in a touch of a mood right now. The news out of London has me sad, and the daily domestic junk is getting to me right now. Katie's refusing to be fed but she's hungry. Amelia's running laps.
