still tired…
May 27
yesterday, i helped chaperone elle’s field trip to sea world. WHEW! we herded eight girls around sea world – they were a lively bunch. we touched the sting rays, saw the seal and otter show, checked out the sharks and penguins and hey! we caught the shamu show. it was so impressive that i even cried during shamu’s show (NOT kidding – don’t laugh). maybe i cried from exhaustion, i don’t know. anyway, it was a great day. but well…i’m still exhausted!

i remember 19 years ago when i taught 6th grade, your mom volunteered to help chaperone a 6th grade fieldtrip to a play in San Diego. We had 96 eleven and twelve year olds but there were plenty of adults to help. Your mom went home and slept the rest of that day and most of the next to recouperate. The next week, she volunteered to come and help cook Indian and Chinese food for the same group of kids. She needed another two days of rest after that one too. I think that was when she decided that being an RN was a pretty great job. There is definitely something about the energy of a group of kids when they all get together isn’t there?
