No. Something far more sinister is a-foot.
Turns out that some last-minute emergencies have left the school short two chaperones for the trip to Washington, DC, that starts on the Monday that is three days away (from when I get this news).
It's a tempting offer -- go to DC and not pay a dime. Of course, there is the one small item of watching kiddos 24/7 while I'm there. Also, New England finally has a stretch of decent weather in the forecast, while in DC, it's going to be in the 90's and 100's and HUMID. I don't have enough clean underwear to get through a week of sweat-drenched sightseeing.
No matter. In case you missed it, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME DECENT WEATHER DAYS. I'm staying put. DC can wait.
