Gettysburg, here she comes!

Elisabeth took off this morning at 7:15 am with her pillow, blanket, sunscreen, and lunch to Gettysburg with her entire 5th grade class. Five parents from each class were chosen randomly to go...I wasn't one of them. On one hand, I am thrilled to miss the 3 hour bus ride down and back plus the shleping around that we would have to do once we got there. But, on the other hand, I am sad to be missing it and a little pissed I don't automatically get to go because I work at her school. No special treatment EVER and it stinks. I am amazed how well she did this morning-she, unfortunately, inherited by anxiety genes and I thought for sure she would wake up with a stomach ache with threats of puking but she was fine!!! We pick her up tonight at 7:30 and then drive to Syracuse for the long weekend. Sadie, Jacqueline, and Jim are come down from Canada so we will get to be together for a few days :) Can you say...outlets??!!!
