Tonight is mandatory parent meeting for the DC trip the 8th grade class is going on soon. As always scheduled right at dinner time. Should be mind numbingly boring as per usual, but I still have to go. End result will undoubtedly be that I get a useful pamphlet with all the info needed that I can read in like two minutes but will still have to sit in the hot auditorium for an hour to go over each piece in excruciating detail. All school related informational meetings are predictable like this. Pretty sure the teachers who can keep a straight face when they get interrupted by those parents who never pay attention with a question that is literally answered by what they just said before they got interrupted should be nominated for sainthood. ;P
Are you sure I'm not a chaperone on that trip?
EDIT: Oh, gods. Naked chaperoning. I'm just gonna leave it here and let it lie...

And yeah, just try being a chaperone on one of those trips. "And my daughter is allergic to the color mauve, and African ants, but not Argentine ants. And I just noticed that you're only getting 6 3/4 hours of sleep each night. I'm not comfortable with any chaperones getting under 8 hours of sleep. Research has shown that humans cannot possibly function without a full 8 hours of sleep every night, so I'd like you to reschedule the entire trip so that every one of you gets at least a 10-hour break to sleep.
Oh, and are you driving? I have some concerns..."
EDIT: Not to belittle real people's real allergies, but when you're chaperoning 108 kids and 38 of them have stringent dietary restrictions, you know you're among Berkeley parents...

Either our favorite beverage, or the beverage we're allowed to have, in the case of those that are working tonight, like me.I shall raise a glass of chocolate milk to you all.
You want that shaken, or stirred.

Twosie is apparently a thing. I had no idea. However, I couldn't join you in a twosie to fight over Kileanna, now could I?*the feather in kjeldorn's helmet sudden stands up straight, with a cartoonish "boooiinnnggg" sound, while he blushes bright red"
I..er...uhhh...huuu...ummm.....sure!?
no need to thank me.

In a grumpy mood today, but it's 100% down to allergies making me miserable, so I'm trying to ignore it. With varying degrees of success.
Also I'm mad at myself because I messed up my hand again just when it was getting better. I just couldn't resist the crafting for a little bit longer....apparently four days is the limit of how long I can go without knitting or crocheting even when it causes agonizing pain. That is kinda hilarisad. :P

D-dangit, TOZ, can you get any cooler?!Probably about 20% cooler. Did I mention I'm working on a new PFS location here in Phoenix, to be the east side counterpart to our current Saturday game? Even better, it's ten minutes from my house.

You know you're on a Madison field trip when you have 108 kids with 105 parents "chaperoning" and by that I mean hovering over their kids.
Last field trip I went on this kid almost made it the shore of a pond unattended and this other parent stopped him from experiencing something by himself and so then when his dad rushed over the other dad said "didn't mean to helicopter your son bro!" "No thanks bro! Someone has to!"
Meanwhile, Tiny T-Rex and another kid found a crayfish, by themselves.

My husband gets the joy of chaperoning this time. One of us always has to go on school trips cause kidlet has major anxiety issues. He is already so over it, especially after he found out that he missed the chaperone meeting because the teacher in charge sent the emails to the wrong address. Not that she will ever admit the mistake. *eyeroll*

I may use that note as a template for if/when I leave my current job, though. It was SNOWING today. In MAY! Give that weather dominator a rest, please!
