1. Chaperoned a field trip to Carowinds this past weekend and it was possibly the easiest field trip I was ever part of. It was the middle school choir trip, so there were only 45 kids. Eight of them were "mine," including Davey and his friend BJ. The other six in my group were eighth grade girls who hung out together all day and didn't get into trouble and I only had to check in with them a couple times. One of the other chaperones made a snide remark at the beginning of the day about me being an overpacker, but joke was on her because there wasn't a single thing in my bag that wasn't needed by the end of the day. (My chaperone bag included sunscreen, baby wipes, hair ties, feminine products, bandaids, etc) It was stupidly hot on Saturday, and apparently some of the other chaperones didn't tell their kids they could get free water. (We had wristbands for free drinks, but they said "free coca cola products" BUT WATER WAS TOTALLY AN OPTION! I told all my group to stick to water, or at least alternate soda/water, but I think they all stuck to water and powerade.) Three of the kids from our trip got separated from the group but they were all found. I did see two girls pass out, three people puking from the ride/heat combination, and FOUR sets of kids that had lost their parents. Funtimes!

2. Princess Luna is here! I can't remember if I announced that here or not. Luna Grace was born on April 28 and she is adorable and precious and spoiled already! Harley graduated from Ferrum on May 9th. Now we just need to keep our fingers crossed that she can find a job!

3. We had a whole Thing a few weeks back because Ronnie was upset that I never tell him I hate him. Kids are so weird. I tend to tell Davey a lot "I hate you; you're the worst kid I've ever had" and Ronnie felt left out that I never say that to him.

4. My kids have 16 1/2 more school days. Ughhhhh. I'm so ready for summer, kinda. Our summer is SO FULL.

5. I am a smart cookie and just realized last week that the reason Apple computers are called Macs because Macintosh is a type of apple!
