DC DC, Baby

three years ago I headed to Washington DC
with Ali's 8th grade class
tomorrow Erin & I will be on a bus at
5 am (really?!) with
62 8th graders
15 sponsors
and a positive, joy-filled attitude
(Bwah-hah-hah!)

ok, really, I'm sure if I can keep
a steady stream of caffeine,
orthopaedic shoes on my feet,
and some factory-grade earplugs,
I'll be just fine -
honestly.

so, thank you government
for not shutting down.
thereby avoiding countless hours of
free time.
(not the words you want to hear
involving 62 fourteen year olds)

Quinn pointed out the other morning
that when I accompany Gracie's class
to DC that I will be a
grandmother...
do the math,
he could be right.
(I'm saving up money for botox
and B-12 supplements starting now)



I'm honestly looking forward to sharing
this experience with Erin.
that girl can make me laugh,
and her company fills her mama's heart with
JOY!
