Here goes:
Tomorrow, I will be accompanying my son on his annual school trip. He is in the 2nd grade and this is our yearly outing. But.....When I volunteered, the trip was to be to visit a spectacular museum (walk through tropical rain forest, watch the change in seasons etc.....) Sounds like a blast. At the bottom of the letter, it states "We will also be stopping at the Insectarium where you will be surrounded by over 150,000 insects". Yeeeech! Can you imagine??? My big plan was "Honey, you go on in and mommy will wait right here by the Exit sign, okay?" Nope....Not gonna work because I am also considered a volunteer mom and have 2 more boys to watch over so,....I must do my duties and accompany them!
The support I have so far is: "God, I wish I could be there to videotape this!" and also the occasional chuckle and "Have a great time!".
There has just got to be a special place in Heaven for mommies that get through things like this. Right?
Or am I really the only one afraid of anything that flies, crawls or (gulp) slithers????
The only one who envies me right now is Whiskers!
