At the time of this writing, which will be several days past by the time this posts, I am sitting here waiting for my children to come home from a youth outing to a town an hour away for a concert. My youngest (12) wasn't originally planning to go, but at the last minute decided he would. He has never participated in anything like this before. We had a sack lunch already with us because we were planning to go to a church picnic anyway. So we sent him with a sandwich, a pop tart, some water and a mandarin orange. In the hurry of having the plans changed like that I completely forgot to send any money with him. I have a feeling his sister would not share any of HER money with him, so I am just hoping that one of the adults saw he had no money to buy dinner with and would have loaned him some. I feel absolutely terrible. I tried to call the youth leader's cell phones but was only able to leave messages that I don't have any idea if they got. It's 9:30pm now and they still are not home. I just home my poor son hasn't been starving all evening with no dinner. :-( I wanted this to be a good experience for him. I hope I didn't ruin it for him.
I'll write a follow-up to this post so you can see how it turned out....I hope my worries are all for nothing.
