Pre-flight jitters

I should be sleeping. I have to get up early, in just a few hours, and spend my morning getting schoolwork done with the kids before I leave for Chicago. I never sleep well the night before I fly somewhere, though. I suppose it is ironic that I have a job that flies me all over the place and I am afraid of flying. It gets even worse when the weather is murky, and tonight it is raining and blowing pretty hard over my house. This will be a long flight, so at least I might get some sleep on my way to Chicago.
