She’s gone…for a week! No communication, no texting, no phone calls, nothing! For a whole week! I’m not sure who’s more excited about it; her father, her or me!?!
It still doesn’t hide my worry hat…
No communication! Oh, sure, I can send her letters and emails but I can’t get anything in return. Not even a nod from the camp counselor saying “She’s fine, Mom!” “Don’t worry, Mom!” “It was just a scratch and we took care of it just like you would, Mom!” Nothing, Nada, Zilch!
Wait! Look there, under my arm, what’s that? It’s my party hat!!!
On Monday, July 4, 2011, I will have NO children! We are dropping the boys off for the weekend and my husband and I are going out. We may see a movie…or three! We may go to a fancy (or, not so much) restaurant and order everything on the menu and have drinks to go along with it!! (Uh! I gasp at the foreign thought!)
Let’s be sensible, shall we?! It’s only a week and she probably won’t miss us at all! This week will blow by and, before you know it, we will all be back to our normal selves and all this camp business and worry business will just be a distant memory.
But, while it’s still fresh in my mind – Yes, waiter, I will have another martini!

Cute! As a camp kid once myself I didn't miss my parents at all. I was having too much fun being independant. As a Mom though I would be in the same boat. Enjoy the time with your hubby and order one for me : ) The week will be over in no time.
