Field Trips

My daughter's class is going on a field trip to Chicago for some culinary class, which, I think, is awesome. However, they school, in order to safe money for parents, asks parents to drive the kids, so you can end up with 3-4 kids in your car, driving 1 hour each way. I absolutely dread these kind of field trips. I cannot explain it, I love my kids and I know that they love when I chaperoning their field trips, but I don't love other people's kids, is that so wrong??? Honestly, if it was up to me, I would never, ever, shaparone another field trip, but the guilt drives me insane, so I end up voluntareering..... and dreading the day.... More on this field trip to follow :)

seriously, why do i care????

my 6 year old insisted to share a room with her 3 year old sister. the 3 year old, slept perfectly fine alone, without the whole: leave the door open, leave the light in the closet on, lay down with me for a minute bs. i refused my 6 year old's request, however, my husband decided that it might not be such a bad idea, since our 6 year old is terrified to sleep at night by herself. in any event, they are sleeping together now. i keep thinking that this was a bad, bad idea, i guess we will have to wait and see.
