To Montreal, with the entire Middle 1 and 2 classes. Only one kid can't make it - Claire's "best guy friend" Ryan. He's going to the North Pole, seriously.
My only trip mission was completed on the weekend. We finally found a pair of black Converse All Star sneakers. Claire is now officially "cool".
Cool and gone, until Thursday night. There is a full itinerary of activities but I think the kids have only one thing on their collective minds: FUN. Heaven help the supervisors. Seventy middle-schoolers running around a strange city. Not a French teacher among them! Certainly not my idea of a good time, but they'll have a blast. I do know that Claire is bringing with her some common sense. I asked if she wanted to bring my camera. She looked at me all bright eyed and said "nah, probably not a good idea", followed with her big crooked smile.
I'm supposed to be leaving Thursday morning for a trip planned months ago. I'm having second thoughts, for a whole gaggle of reasons, but most of all I'd like to be here to pick Claire up. See her while she's bubbling over; not just hear her on the phone.
My baby is growing up.

Ha! I can't believe you are not a chaperone!
I would have, but there was a conflict. And now that I've cancelled the conflict, I'm kicking myself (hard to do when you're over 40 and not terribly fit - bwahahahaha!)
