Chicago

Well. I am sitting here in Chicago. The BNSF has put me up at the lovely Holiday Inn in Countryside, Il. It has been a whirlwind of a day.... The flight was not bad. I did get sick earlier. It started with a slight headache that just got worse and worse. We all went to dinner and I ended up throwing up in the bathroom after only eating maybe a half of my meal. Felt a little better and we started back to the hotel. Lovely.. Got sick in the car on the way to Walgreens to get some Advil. The people in the car had no idea. Get ready to get sick. I had to contain it until we stopped the car at Walgreens. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! I got some Advil and I am feeling much better. I got to talk to Doug and the boys via webcam earlier. Since I am gone until July 2nd that is our way of me and the boys to see each other. Jake thought it was soo funny. I need to have Doug figure out if he can record those. He mainly wanted to see himself in the window. Doug did say he walked around asking for me this morning and when they got home. When I left for the airport this morning I cried a little. When I went to kiss William goodbye he woke up a little and hugged me. This is the longest I have been away from those guys. When I first started with the BNSF I went on a 5 day trip, but that was not too bad. William saw me that Monday morning and then I was back on Friday. Jake has only been away from me for 3 days. I know. Cut the cord. It is hard. Well. I will keep everyone posted on how much "fun" I am having in Chicago. I do love Chicago. This is my third time here, but the first not staying downtown. I am on days so I may not get to see as much as I want, but we will see. My friend Terry is her and he might switch a couple of days for nights with me so I will have days to go and sightsee. This is a 10 day straight training with no days off so that is why I want some nights.
Take care,
