Unfortunately yes. I also realized I don't even have coffee and there's no delivery services here (first world problems I know, but I haven't slept)

It remains weird to me that you had to crowdsource this.


DP here. No weirder than using an Internet forum to judge a stranger.

I would absolutely pull them. Cabin seems kind of lame. I personally would do something better but you do you.

Core memories in the making. So fun! I regret no days I pulled my kids from school. Even in HS we do a day or two a year to extend a weekend or break. Honors/A students and it’s not been an issue.
