I don’t go out of town much but this weekend I will be heading to Indianapolis with Emma’s gymnastics team for a bus trip – I will be a Momerone as the coaches call them. Other moms keep coming up to me and saying that it will be fun and I am not sure if fun is really the right word. But I do hope it is fun. It will be interesting to say the least. I don’t see anyone getting much sleep. The schedule as it stands right now only allows for 8-9 hours at the hotel each night. 45 tween/teen girls split amongst us means I doubt anyone will be sleeping much.
I like kids so that will help. The coaches seem nice enough and I will certainly be getting to know them. I will miss home though and the other kids. I like to travel but I prefer to do it with my whole family. I know I am making special memories with Emma and that is good, but I will miss the others.
I will keep telling myself that it will be fun – but it will probably take me all of next week to recover. I am not sure what I was thinking when I signed up for this!

You are a good mom! and braver than me
Hope you have a great time! Good luck Emma!
You’ll have fun!
In 2009, I chaperoned 2 busloads of high schoolers on a trip from St. Louis to Washington DC. I had so much fun that I signed up to do it again in March!
