Just Another Day in CAMP MOMMY
Wednesday, June 15, 2005 at 10:10PM
Got the house ready to show.
Left early with Zach packed and the Swim Bag to go pick up the Jeep--yay!--and on to the county office for vehicle registration. That all went pretty well, until the end, when the kids began the fight over who would remove/replace/hold/keep/touch/view the old license plate...
We stopped in at Dunkin' Donuts...DISASTER, as my children exploded an orange juice container all over the floor--by accident, of course!
To Aunt Joan's, to drop Zach off for Camp Joan. We stayed for a little while and went swimming. Zach already started taking on his Big Kid role to keep up with his cousin--the Big Kids are too cool to play with the "babies," thus making Tiger, and especially Haleigh, upset and combative. Lots of screaming. I took Tiger and Haleigh away early, off to McDonald's. Zach was too cool to kiss his Mommy good bye, which nearly killed me, but I tried not to make a big fuss--or cry. Despite the day-to-day chaos of three kids in constant competition--the noise, the busy energy, the arguing--I will miss him so much
We enjoyed a peaceful afternoon at home, and then the Challenges began, having nothing to do with Camp Mommy, but creating plenty of stress having to do with the house, an unrelated bank issue, and 4th of July holiday plans...
Day 18 Total = $15
($10 Dunkin' Donuts/$5 McDonald's)
