An Unexpected Honour

Miss 10 comes home excited about the Grade 5 school camp.

They are spending 3D2N in Sovereign Hill, Ballarat.

Me, I'm not so enthusiastic. I was all of a heap last year when she went away for her first ever school camp, and now it's one year later. Why must children go away at all?

Anyhow, the whole situation has taken on an unexpected twist.

Miss 10 has invited mummy to be a parent volunteer on the school camp. Gasp! Seriously? I get to go on the school bus with 40 11 year-olds, help supervise activities and be a part of the camp experience? Guess that means I'm not too uncool after all.

Miss 6 warns that I might not be accepted for the role because I can't run/cycle etc.

My bigger concern is that I'll miss hubby and Miss 6 (especially her) and the comfort of my home. Oh, and I'll miss Church Council meeting too. Gee, who'll take notes then?
