I took Julianna to sleep-away Brownie camp
yesterday. I can't believe my ultra-clingy Mama's Girl is now
able to spend five nights away from home. I took her and her
friend Ally up and they tortured me with loud off-key singing for 2.5
hours.I also got to listen in on their discussions of which boys in
their class had crushes on which girls. They were horrified to
think that one boy might have liked them, because crushes--ew.
Julianna said she told the boy that she would help him with his room
chores if he'd say "I hate you." No wonder boys get
confused. The trip home was shorter and quieter and I got to
finally start listening to Harry Potter.
Then today, Ben started a week of day camp at the Y. All day,
everytime the phone rang, I steeled myself to see "Frederick County
YMCA" on the caller ID, but he made it! And no one met me at the
door, grim-faced! I'm hoping it holds. So it was just Lily
and I today, a preview of the school year to come. I spent it
cleaning Ben's room. A Sisyphean task, to be sure.
Tomorrow, the next boulder--Julianna's room.
And speaking of things in Julianna's room, the baby pigs get
cuter. Those big ears. How they kill me. Michelle, of
the animal resuce, said that she believes baby guinea pigs can fly at
night when no one is looking. I choose to believe that too.
In cutey news, Lily has taken to telling me that she is "tipping toe"
when she walks about on her toes. It sounds so
sophisticated. Needs a pinky in the air.
Once upon a time, a blog was started at AOL Journals. The scales fell from the eyes of The Creator and it was moved to Wordpress. Then Journals tanked and all old posts were moved here for safekeeping.
