Now My Mind...

My heart is racing, my breathing is shallow, I can actually feel pain in my deepest being. No, I am not in the hospital, or sick. I just looked at my daughter's folder. Inside was the information on the trip to an amusement park that she earned. She read over 200 books and gets to spend all Friday at an amusement park 2 hours away. They put her in a group with a grandma and 7 students. Are they crazy? I want her on on one. One adult to hold her hand the entire time. One adult to make sure she comes out of the bathroom stall. One adult to make sure she comes off every ride. They are not going to get home til 4:30. I will be nuts by then. Yes, I know you are thinking that this woman has lost her mind. (Well, after my last post that is entirely possible:)) I am very protective of my child. I know the dangers out there. I have dreaded this week all year long. I even hoped she wouldn't make her 100 points so she wouldn't get to go. I even told her that it wasn't a good idea, and she might not get to go. Now the time is here and I am going to let my 8 year old get on a school bus with a bunch of kids and go two hours away to an amusement park. Oh Lord, hold her close. Watch her and protect her (all the other kids too). Drive that bus so it will arrive home with my baby. Yes, I am begging for her protection. (Does the bible say that we aren't supposed to beg?) I hope that grandma knows how to text:)
