Scardy Cat!!!

Funny how things change, but actually remain the same. I went on a field trip with my son's class to Hoover Dam today. I wasn't actually supposed to go, but my son's asthma had been acting up so it was either make him stay home or go with & keep an eye on him. I tried to look at it as an adventure, but it was anything but that. Imagine being on a bus with 50 screaming 10 yr olds. Sound fun? Well it's not!! LOL I remained as calm as possible...Keep in mind I am afraid of heights & I am clastrophobic... 2 things that generally don't mix. I had my work cut out for me. The drive was about 40 minutes and by the time we got there my nerves were already frazzled. We headed down to start the tour at which time I'm advised that we will be going 500 feet below into a tunnel where the generators are located. Ok this is when my tour ended.. LMAO. I was not, I REPEAT NOT GOING UNDERGROUND ANYWHERE WITH A BILLION GALLONS OF WATER FLOWING ABOVE. I remained up on the observation deck patiently waiting for the class to arrive. Approx. 15 miuntes later the elevator opens and here they come pouring out like tiny red ants scrambling for food. I was designated 6 boys (including my own son) that I was supposed to keep occupied for 45 minutes until it was time to leave. We walked and looked over the railing...my head spinning as I realized how high I actually was.. We took pictures & looked around the gift shop... I was SOOOO glad when it was time to go home... I've never been more happier in my life to go to WORK. Although I'm a big scardy cat... I did ok and I didn't embarrass my son in the process..
