Battle of the OhMyGodI'mTired Emails

Contestant 1:  Jared, male, 35, traveling spokesperson from Colorado

Anncr1:  Let's see if this guy can bring it.  Right now he's enjoying breakfast at a hotel restaurant...so it'll be tough to overcome that.

Anncr2:  But last night was a different story...

Worst flight ever.  I sat next to a guy from the Air Force.  He said, "I hate this."  I said, "But you're in the Air Force."  And he said, "You expect this from a B-52, but I hate this."  It was so turbulent the flight attendant hit her head on the overhead compartment.  She went right back to pouring hot coffee.  She asked, "You still want this" as the plane rocked into North Dakota.  I was nauseous and the air force kid kept grabbing the seat in front of him.  And then as we descended people pressed their heads against the windows to see when we might see the ground through the fog.  We felt it about the same time we saw it.  Oh sweet joy.    I'm here.  I'm starving.  6 a.m. wake up call jitters on the near horizon.   

Contestant 2:  Sarah, female, 25, working mother of two humans, one dog, one cat, husband

Anncr1:  It's going to be hard to compete with that last one.  Let's hear what she has to say:

Sorry about your crappy flight. Sounds miserable. Was it really packed too?   A bad night for the boys at home.  It was off to a great start with them both down.  Otto was up at 1:30, then at 2:30 Quin was crying.  I went in to see what was going on and we settled down for a little while Allie climbed all over looking for a place to curl up.  Quin's breathing was regulating and I hear Paco crying at the door and not just a little.  So I put him off as long as possible, but then it couldn't be ignored, he went out to poop, Quin was up, so it ended up being me sandwiched between Paco and Q from 4am until 5:15 when Otto woke up again.  I just pacified him and he went back down.  Of course I should have just gotten up then, but I didn't.  Anyway, we made it out on time and all is well.  Quin looked like rooster with his hair sticking up, Otto was happy as ever and Paco got to the P-A-R-K but was a tool to those dogs in the corner.   How is your morning going? I just got a call that the coffee machine at work is broke, yipeee!   Eat well and try to nap, hahahahahahaha!

Anncr1:  She sounds a little nuts at the end there but that guy should just shut up. 

Anncr2:  "Oh my plane was so bouncy...wah wah wah.." No kidding.

WINNER:  Sarah
