SALSA CHICKEN

Ahhhh, my i.s.p has been down for a day or so. Just got back from Austin, Texas and dropping the grand babies and my daughter off at the airport for a trip to South Carolina to see my daughters biological father. Laila, my oldest grand daughter who is 3 yrs old had been SO excited about flying on a big airplane, then when they started to go through the metal detectors, started crying for 'Grandma to come on the plane to.' It broke my heart to see her cry for me. I had to explain I couldn't fly with them this time as I had no ticket, but Grandma would be here when they came back. So she left looking over her shoulder, holding her Mommy's hand, and Laila's arm stretched behind her, crying for Grandma. *tears*. Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.
