Right now ... oh DC I so feel for you!! My son has been in Chicago with his father for the past 48 days ... he's home in 12. Chanting is good!! Then sit back, relax, rent movies you might not have been able to watch with your 10 year old. Maybe get a pedicure or manicure. Be kind to yourself!!! Take care!

right now, wait till they are 16 and you are pushing them out the door! lol! the first couple of days when holly would go to camp, we'd be talking about her, etc. and then the house would be so quiet. it takes a few days to remember how to talk to each other and not about the kids.

Right now-Oh Dolphin I am on the same boat!!! I put my baby girl (9yrs old) on the bus Monday! They have a site up where I can see pictures and email her, but so far it is really lacking!!! And they said it would take 24-48 hours before we got a message back from our kid-well I haven't gotten one yet!!!! Im hoping that just means she is having too great of a time to think of dear old mom

RN, sorry about your migraine, irish. RN, i went to camp (turned 10 while at camp) and it was one of the best experiences of my life. i can still remember the hikes, the crafts, the dinners with the high school boys serving, canoeing on the russian river...i loved my counselor so much that when we got back home and my parents wanted a weekend away from 7 kids, this counselor came to our house to babysit us. for years, i tried to become a counselor at the same camp! RN, dd and i have a meeting with the ladies auxiliary for the volunteer fire dept this afternoon and then i'll have to go into town to deposit a check from son's bio dad to help pay son's college tuition. not as much money as i'd hoped for, but better than nothing. anything is a help, that's for sure! dh is trying to move up his ortho appointment. i think he is ready for a real cast, rather than the large splint they put on him. not sure if they can do a walking cast, however, as his break is just below the knee. something is going to have to go well above the knee to keep this bone set. i know he is frustrated as all get out and this is less than 40 hours since he broke it!

Right now-I went to camp too. When I was 12. I loved every minute of it and formed a great bond with my counselor as well. Even went to her house a few times after camp and got to help her get ready for her senior prom. I know my daughter is having a great time.....but I still miss her! lol Right now I think I will go make me some chocolate milk

RN I went to sleep away AND day camp. The drama group and arts and crafts were great. I was in several plays over the years and it was such fun. Everything else sucked. LOL. RN I wish it would rain/storm here. We NEED it. Sigh. I had ice cream earlier, but RIGHT NOW, I think I'm gonna have me some leftover Japanese teriyaki chicken. Mmmmm.

Right now ... I went to day camp when I was a Brownie. It was such fun! I remember making crafts out of pine cones. It was also nice that my mum was there .. she was our troop leader. Our troop name was The Smiling Faces ... wonder if that's where I got my positive outlook!

RN, I am such a bad bad bad mommy, LOL! I'd gone to take a shower and left the backdoor open for the kids and the dog because they were coming in and out playing. When I got out of the shower, I cam out and was standing in the living room brushing my hair when I saw this bird just mosey right on into the den. I have been terrified of birds since I was a kid and today was no different. I absolutely freak out shouting OMG THERE IS A BIRD IN THE HOUSE! IT'S IN THE HOUSE! All the while I'm jumping up and down squealing like a four year old. And then I did something I'm so not proud of, lol. "Dakota," I screamed, "go get the bird out of the house!" She just stared at me for a few seconds then walked over and shooed it out of the house and then told me how silly I was. Here I am absolutely terrified of this little bird, yet I'm more than willing to send my baby to deal with it, LOL!

Right now I am relieved that Dakota is Wargod's kid and not her dog. I thought she was sending the dog to kill the bird.

Right Now: Well we've done it! At Dell.ca, We ordered a Dell Dimension 5150 desktop with a few bells and whistles! Took a big hit though financially. About 1600 bucks. It's gonna be PB&J at our house for a while. LOL. But in about 3 weeks, no more armwrestling over the 'puter! (We opted NOT to go for a laptop as its easier to upgrade a desktop. The NEXT one WILL be a laptop though, dang it.)

RN, LOL, Dogdoc! Dakota's my fearless 7 year old who wanted to know if she could keep our little visitor for a pet! Harvey's my pup who's the sweetest, laziest thing but pretty much a big old baby who wouldn't have a clue what to do if I sent him after a bird! He might possibly lift his head up and look at me but go after it? That'd require moving on his part, lol.

Rn Dolphin and Erin! So sorry you're missing the kids! Here's some ideas to help you cope: 1) Make yourself some S'mores (graham crackers, hersheys bars, melted marshmellows - bet you could roast the marshmellows over the stove top element, don't burn yourself on the hot fork) 2) Draw up a nice deep, hot bubblebath 3) Light an evergreen candle in the bathroom to set the atmosphere; to remember from your own childhoods the experiences your kids are now enjoying.... the smell of pine trees in the woods.... the slip sliding on slithery slugs while hiking up dirt trails.... doing K.P. duties with the "Big Kids" with all that excitement of working as free child labor....the waft of a skunk somewhere out there....the chirping of crickets.... 4) & Pull up this website for some good bubble bath mood music, while you do the soak and suds: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/song/song-462.asp Here's the words, in case ya forgot: Hope you feel betta soon! Bisc Hello muddah, hello faddah Here I am at Camp Granada Camp is very entertaining And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining. I went hiking with Joe Spivy. He developed poison ivy. You remember Leonard Skinner He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner. All the counselors hate the waiters And the lake has alligators And the head coach wants no sissies So he reads to us from something called Ulysses. Now I don't want this should scare ya But my bunkmate has malaria. You remember Jeffrey Hardy They're about to organize a searching party. Take me home, oh muddah, fadduh Take me home, I hate Granada! Don't leave me out in the forest Where I might get eaten by a bear. Take me home, I promise I will not make noise, Or mes the house with other boys. Oh, please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day. Dearest fadduh, darling muddah, How's my precious little bruddah? Let me come home, if you miss me I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me. Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing. Guys are swimming, guys are sailing Playing baseball, gee that's bettah Muddah, faddah kindly disregard this letter! Follow On version Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh. I am back at Camp Granada. And I'm writing you this letter Just to say my compound fracture's getting better. No one here knows where my trunk is And my bunk is where the skunk is. And this year the food's improving 'Cause the little black things in it are not moving. Our camp nurse is quite a swimmer. She says swimming makes you slimmer. Her name's Mrs. Balagreeni. Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini? All our bathrooms have such thin doors. Gee, I wish they'd move them indoors. We're all tired of Mother Goose here. So next Friday night they're having Lenny Bruce here. Let me stay, oh Muddah, Fadduh. Let me stay, I love Granada. Every night the camp fire's really keen. Oh mom, please send some unguentine. Let me stay, out here in mother nature's land And tip-toe through the tulips grand. To leave would be a shame. Besides, I'd miss the poker game. Please don't worry, Fadduh, Muddah. I'll take care of little brother. He plays ball here and he rows here And I hope they teach him how to blow his nose here. He wakes up at half past six and Goes directly to the quick sand. He was lonely, now he's better. He's like all of us except his bed is wetter.

RN I just finished watching a segment on Regis and Kelly with Bryant Gumble co-hosting with Kelly. He told her about his new bathroom renovation and TOTO toilet. The seat opens when you enter the room, the seat warms, the toilet does courtesy flushes has bidet streams and dryer when you push a button and power flushes. Sure beats this ->
