This morning I left for the 8th Grade trip to DC and New York. We met at the airport at 4:15am. Yikes! But that’s MUCH better than the alternative – a redeye flight on Friday, ending with a busy first day on Saturday. No, thanks! I don’t want to start the trip tired like that.
Unfortunately, I’m starting the trip tired anyway. It has been a busy last couple of weeks. Whew! I think I’m looking forward to these packed-to-the-minute days that start early and end late, so that I can relax a little.
From having gone on a similar trip last year, I’ve found that one of my struggles is hunger – I get hungry at odd times during the day. I’m prepared this year. I got a bunch of snacks!
My picture won’t load, but it shows: peanut M&M’s, Sweet&Salty almond granola bars, trail mix, and cashews. I guess I like nuts.
Prayers would be appreciated. There are a LOT of moving parts to this trip, and middle schoolers are sometimes unpredictable.
Oh. my. goodness. You are SOOO busy! I pray that it all goes smoothly and that you do not go hungry. (Crankiness accompanies hunger.)
Safe travels and keep us posted!
“Middle Schoolers are sometimes unpredictable.” You make me laugh, dear friend. “Only SOMEtimes??”
Prayers for a fun and safe visit. without any “hangry” episodes for you.
