Overnight field trip

I’ve been on a grading/meeting/assignment writing marathon all week and haven’t had much time to write, and tomorrow won’t be any better, but I have to make a quick note here that I am all sad because my big girl is going on her first overnight field trip. It’s just to Charleston, so it’s not like New York or anything, but dang, we hardly send this girl off to see her grandparents, much less a two-day field trip. I’m saddest because I have a meeting Friday that has been on my calendar all year and that I couldn’t miss, so I don’t get to be a chaperone. I guess she’s going to grow up one day, and this probably isn’t it, but still. . .
