Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / June 2008Spawn's Gone -- For the Week <sigh>
Castle Ranger is so quiet. Spawn's growing up like a weed, passing every milestone without ever taking notice. She's away at camp as of 9am this morning. At the pick-up point, she walked right up to a group of girls and within six seconds was in like Flynn. I stood there, marveling at her social skills, when the silence surrounding me hit like a sledgehammer to the back of the head. Twenty-five other parents were quietly watching the girls cut-and-run. Wow. The Ranger > Castle Ranger is so quiet. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Wow. Wow, congrats. DS has his first week long camp in about 2 months. It will be strange. good luck Marc I'm jealous. I wish DD3 (age 11) could go away to a camp for a week. Tis would be lovely.

It's caused us to adjust our summer travel plans accordingly but it's now her time to blossom. She's also got that impish, effervescent spark that's powered her through every social event she's ever been exposed to... People just can help liking her. > Castle Ranger is so quiet. Oh that silence. When any three of ours aren't here you fell their special something missing. I hope that week moves quickly =-) Cindi > Spawn's growing up like a weed, passing every milestone without ever > taking notice.

SWMBO and I went out to dinner and then stopped at a local jazz bar for drinks. Seems we weren't the only ones in that circumstance.

I so dread the visit this summer Rachel to NC. It has been difficult getting her to go so this is going to be not just silence and absence but something painful that I can't explain. I think I need a drink now just thinking about it. Hey, it's Saturday, Spawn should be home soon.

Here's a 3-finger Knob Creek Bourbon (neat) for you. That's helped me. > Hey, it's Saturday, Spawn should be home soon. The really funny thing: SWMBO and I aren't the ones missing her dearly. <EG> The Ranger > Castle Ranger is so quiet. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > The Ranger Wow is right! They grow so fast! I can't believe she's gone to camp! Do you reckon she'll last the whole week? Or want to come home halfway through?  SignatureFroggy [snip] > Do you reckon she'll last the whole week?

She quite confident and, often, much to my annoyance, socially gifted. > Castle Ranger is so quiet. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > The Ranger Whathehellyoudoing letting a 3-year-old go to camp by herself!

I'm callin' CPS. "By herself?!" She was surrounded by a posse the likes of which both Celine and Brittney-Brittney would've envied! (On a serious note: She came back right before boarding and told me "not to worry." She'd been "waiting her whole life for this [bus] ride.") The Ranger |
