Pilot Wife Law #4356: When the Pilot is away, someone is going to get sick!

October 6, 2010 

Ugh!  This is the Pilot Wife Law that I absolutely hate!  It never fails that the day the pilot is supposed to fly out, someone in the house is going to get sick.  However, in my case, it was all three children at.the.same.time!  Yes, you heard me — THREE children.  I’m talking about ear infections, croup cough, snotty nose — you name it and that germ took up residence in my house.  And the pilot, well he just jet-setted himself right outta here without a second thought.

Now, you may think I’m being a little hard on the pilot, BUT he NEVER has to deal with this type of situation.  Don’t worry - eventually I’ll start my list of “events that the pilot never has to deal with!”  But, that’s a whole other post in and of itself! 

I’d like to take a moment and thank the makers of Infant/Children’s Tylenol and Ibuprofen — mama finally got some sleep.  After a good dose of some antibiotics, my girls (atleast two of them) seem to be on the mend — just in time for the pilot to fly back in.

In other happenings, I’ve been diligently working — in my spare time — to update this site, the private site and schedule an event or two.  I’m excited to bring back Pilot Wives Club “Girls Night In”.  If you’re a new member to the site, you’ve just GOT to attend.  I can’t disclose the happenings of the previous events . . . however, let’s just say that some people may or may not drink too much wine and act a little silly during chat!  In any case, it’s great fun and you get to know quite a few pilot wives.  Check out the private site for details. 

Well . . . I hear a coughing child that I must attend to.  Y’all pray for me!
