Obsessed with death

ailbheMe, that is.
I have been lying awake wondering how to get two small children down an airplane escape chute. Do they let one adult take two children on a lap? Which led to remembering the only scene from Sophie's Choice I've seen; "Nehmen Sie das Mädchen." And then there was that Kevin book again.
I am really hoping to get over this soon. I know parents check on their sleeping children for years and years, but I sometimes panic, especially if one of them bumped their head shortly before bedtime, and have to make sure they're not dead.
It goes away quicker if I do go and check.
I wonder how much of it is needless paranoia, and how much is informed by knowing that Linnea did in fact stop breathing a lot as an infant?
Today she is painting large numbers - Numberjacks - and eating "nothing sandwiches," which are made of two slices of bread with mayonnaise or butter-substitute.
I've almost finished packing for our trip to Ireland. I think we'll be getting the coach to the airport; Rob and I have discussed the risks and safety measures we can take, and a bus is just a lot safer than a car, though somehow it doesn't feel like it when they're not in a buggy.
