I walked into the bed room and said, "You excited about seeing your uncles?" Christopher stood on my bed and jumped in my arms, with his backpack on and said, "Yes mommy…I haven't seen them in like a billion years." I laughed and said, "Well honey, I don't think it's been quite that long…but it feels like it."
I had quit working for the hotel about 3 weeks ago…the manager tried telling me, it didn't look good for the hotel to have young single mothers working for them…I wrote to the owners of the Hilton chain hotels…and told them what was going on…needless to say the manager was fired…and I quit anyway…after 7 years of working there…and finally graduating from college…
I wanted something more…Which is why I was flying out to meet Jeff and Matt…they had finagled an interview with there Boss and CEO of the WWF Vince McMahon for me to be the executive director for the WWF…in lamens terms, I would be booking hotel rooms, getting rental cars, snacks in the back for all the wrestlers…And since Christopher was so small still I was allowed to bring him with me…provided I brought a baby sitter with and I also made it through the interview and was hired.
Well baby sitter was covered…Jeff's fiancé Veronica was also my best friend since kindergarten was going to be my babysitter…I had introduced them and they just went from there…Veronica thought Christopher was the best thing since sliced bread…she absolutely adored him just as much as Amy (Lita), Matt and Jeff…
I put my shoes on and grabbed my suit case as I walked down the stairs with Christopher in my arms…I put Christopher down as I set the alarm and locked the door…and we took the taxi to the airport…Christopher said, "What color do you think Uncle Jeff's hair is?" I smiled and said, "I don't know…I guess we'll have to see when we get to New York…"
He smiled and said, "It was orange last time…" I said, "Yup…he looked like a skinny little pumpkin." He giggled a little and then stared out the window the rest of the way to the airport…He was rubbing his eyes and I knew he was getting tired…
As soon as we got on the plane, the stewardess grabbed a pillow and a blanket for me…and I tucked Christopher in good next to me…and kissed his forehead. When we landed in New York, Christopher woke up…still a little sleepy…but he was ready to go…We took a taxi to MSG arena (Madison Square Garden).
When we got there, we were walking through the back halls…and I actually ran into Amy…she said, "Sandra…Oh my god, you made it." A voice below me said, "AUNT AMY!" Amy squatted down and scooped up Christopher in her arms and rained kisses all over his face. She said, "Oh, Christopher…you taste so good. I may have to eat you up."
Christopher's hard giggles filled the hallway…and Jeff and Matt came running down the hall…and they both tackled me with huge hugs…Jeff said, "Where's my little man?" Christopher giggled and said, "Here…I'm here Uncle Jeff." Jeff said, "Oh, there you are…I thought you were hiding." Christopher said, "No way…Aunt Amy was kissing on me…" He made a face and had the four of us laughing…
