Several months ago, my brother told me about a trip he was planning for a college Humanities class in the spring of '09 and asked if I would like to go along as a chaperone. Uh, no, not really, I have no interest in travelling to Ireland, Scotland and England (including Stratford-on-Avon) for 2+ weeks. Reluctantly, I agreed. We leave tomorrow. I'm not excited at all. Rather blase about the whole thing, really. Ho hum. This is, after all, a working trip, you understand. I'm a chaperone and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I probably won't sleep a wink the whole time. I will dedicate myself to caring for the students entrusted to me. Okay, I'll stop. You're not fooled anyway! I'm wildly excited! My stomach has been in nervous upheaval for a while now and may only subside when I return home! I'm thinking in exclamation points! So, I won't be blogging for a while, but when I return, I will regale you with tales of my travels. Ad nauseum. I'll even throw in a couple of references to inside jokes just to be really annoying. In the meantime, please pray for John and the kids as they fend for themselves! And join me in praising the Lord for a husband who is brave enough to let his wife go halfway around the world and leave him alone with 4 young children for 2+ weeks! Lest you worry about him too much, though, my mom is coming next Saturday to stay for the week and several people from church have already offered to help out - my sociable kids are going to want me to go away more often! I'm sure they'll all be fine and I am so thankful for the opportunity to go on my big trip. |
