Today the entire fifth grade got on school buses and headed to sleep-away science camp for the week. He's been to sleep-away camp the for a week at a time the last two summers and it was great for all of us. This is not our first sleep-away rodeo.
I'm totally good.
Really.
For real.
No, YOU shut up.
Stuff I did:
- I had lunch with Karen without having to leave in time to be home by 3:00pm when Bob usually gets back from school.
- I left my phone on the table at lunch just in case I got an emergency call from camp.
- I did not get an emergency call from camp.
- I ordered a dress from a Chinese website called "Easy Lady."
- I had Halloween candy for dinner. (Mostly bite-sized Snickers, if you must know.)
- I put away the tiny shampoo that I did not pack in Bob's bag because when I inquired as to the odds of him using the tiny shampoo while he was away at camp Bob replied, "The odds are safely a million to one."
- I took the dogs for a walk and made them sit still while I took a photo of the lovely sunset.
- I started humming "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof because of the sunset photo and because my tiny infant is at fifth grade science camp.
- I read the Auto Club magazine Westways that came in the mail today because I forgot for a minute that I'm not retired yet.
- I read the Vermont Country Store Catalog and learned that they still sell this:
I totally used Lemon Up shampoo in elementary school. Probably around 1975, fifth grade. Like Bob is in fifth grade. Bob who is at camp and not using shampoo. Camp that I am totally fine with.
Four more days until Bob's home.
By the way, you know that brand new travel size toothpaste and packaged travel toothbrush you packed for him? It will come back unopened.
