One More Day

Writing camp has been amazing. It is so cool to have kids just sit and write. You can write too because you don't have to check on them at all because they want to be there!!! No discipline! What a blast to read what they write. They are soooo insightful. I am eager to start summer. So many projects and cleaning and painting and places to go and people to see and shopping and lunches and shopping and shopping. Summer goes so fast and there is so much to do. Amanda only has a little over a month before she returns to AZ. I think I may need to do a trip somewhere! Not going to AZ in August for the first time in years.....it is too friggin hot and she does not need me to move her anywhere...just unpack her suitcase and voila! Saving my trip for October or even better, February break!!! It was so much fun having everyone here for the 4th. It was packed with activities and eating! We were in the pool every day! It was so excellent to see Brian and Andrew and Matt altogether (and Amanda too). We had so many activities to do. JJ & J party, Greenfield Village Salute to America, picnic (indoors as it was too hot), we just enjoyed the days that went way too fast. I had a downer when they all left on Monday. Just a dark place for a short time. I look forward to some things for so long and they are over in a heartbeat and I get all sad when they end. Thank God I can get through it quickly and move on but sometimes we have to have a pity party! Wedding on Saturday, going with tennis group, bought new dress. First summer dress I have bought in years. Then I bought a cute violet skirt from the same place. Making tacos tonight as Amanda is working at Meijers until late and she can eat later. Thunderstorm warning tonight...it is what it is...please cool down a little!
