Candy or Shoes Off?

Bake sale video -- very good!!

On Friday morning, Grier asked me what airport we going to when we go to NY? He said, Is it "the one with candy" or "the one where you take your shoes off"?-- I had no answer for him at the time because it typical fashion I was waiting to hear back from Corporate Angels. After I dropped him off at preschool, the phone started ringing-- And I was feeling a little better because we were getting some sort of a plan-- We were told of a flight on Sunday night- ( we have flown on this flight a lot--) Not my first choice since our scans do not start until Tuesday but I am trying to be more flexible-- so I said I would take it--- after multiple phone calls between us- working out the same details as every other trip we have flown with CA-- I was told OK-- you are on that flight! I had to start calling our NY social worker to change our reservation at the Ronald-- we were suppose to arrive Monday-- all of those details were taken care of and I was getting in my NY groove-- I started preparing my house.. bills paid, list made, checking my calendar so I could pass off my life to my mom -- I was getting tons of things done and the phone rang-- The woman said "BAD News"-- And I knew the flight had been cancelled! Yes- I should be used to this by now-- but I was assured this one was going- I immediately got on the phone to the social worker and told her we would not be coming in Sunday Night-- I am little worried about housing at the Ronald again-- She said it is tight once again and they are working on putting people at hotels but we SHOULD be OK-- will not know until we get there- I booked a flight (one-way) on US Airways-- and we will fly into NY on Monday- I wanted a late afternoon flight so Grier could at least go to school one day but with the room situation at the Ronald we need to get there so we have some daylight to find a place to go if there is no room!
I hate this part of going to NY-- I know it would be easier not to have to worry about the logistics of getting there- I can see why some choose to stay at the Ronald long-term-
We are shifting gears a little to get ready-- You have to do things differently when you go to the airport "where you take your shoes off"! Grier is looking forward to the trip-- not sure why but he is ready to go. He did ask if he has to get a finger prick? I said I did not think so and he wanted to know if that was forever? Certainly, can not promise forever but I will try to get them to take blood from his port! He hates the finger prick more than anything in the world! So-- for him this will be a good trip without that!
