I’m leaving tonight to head for Virginia to chaperone the fifth grade field trip to Williamsburg, Jamestown and King’s Dominion. Fortunately I will be chaperoning my OWN child mostly with a couple of others who are bringing their mothers and therefore, the fate of some random fifth grader is not in my (capable but reluctant) hands.
I’m going to admit something here, in public.
I love, cherish and adore my kids.
Other people’s kids? Not so much.
Anyway, the trip should be fun, but taking place such as it is at the end of the school year and with all the accompanying craziness, it means I’m feeling a little squeezed about finishing my book. Because I found out there’s no room on the bus, so I’ll be riding with some other mothers, which means I can’t write in the car on the way down. I mean, I might try but I know the lure of motherly chat will dissuade me from writing. As will writing in the car which sometimes gives me car sickness. Ew. And of course during the next two days there will be NO writing time whatsoever.
But it should be a fun trip.
Anyway, I haven’t packed yet (nor even SHOWERED yet this morning! Curse you dreams of Jared Padalecki! Curse you, delightful, delicious, JPad-filled unconscious…what does this MEEEEEAN!?!) And I have to think about buying some snacks and whatnot. And it’s already past noon.
I’d better get hustling.
But, for your viewing pleasure, I will be posting some fun pictures over the next couple days (assuming my pre-scheduling thing works.)
I won’t be around to read your comments or answer them, but enjoy the art.
