When I was in band we went to Canada and had the best time on the chartered bus. I don't even want to get on an Amtrak now! lolLinda Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285985403444531922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-13482484386090830862015-04-14T12:58:53.448-04:002015-04-14T12:58:53.448-04:00Such a great Mama!

I can just picture feeling the way you did.

In my ...I HATE missing out on these sort of things. In my most recent situation, my two girls went to NYC to see Les Miserables with their school. The chaperones were "first to get your form in, first to go." I didn't make the cut. So bummed. To boot, Les Miserables is one of the shows I haven't seen.<br /><br />I just kept telling myself, "it's about them, not me," and charter buses full of kids suck. That last part helped the most. :) EllenSisterhood of the Sensible Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978033016895948863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-7003542519742529472015-04-14T08:43:37.564-04:002015-04-14T08:43:37.564-04:00You don't really do that much work as a chaper...You don't really do that much work as a chaperone, and the cost is much, much cheaper than if you go on your own. So you really are getting a discounted price.

This year they are going together, only overnight but still BOTH my babies will be gone! It'll just be me & the hubster, for the first time EVER since they were born. The girls can't wait, me on the other hand can wait, I'd happily wait 10 more years. Dear Lord I'm going to be a mess when they eventually move out, in 20-30 years :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654712446602861000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-229812537611706462015-04-13T13:27:58.735-04:002015-04-13T13:27:58.735-04:00Welcome to the world of almost adults.
