We signed up for a service with Zoe’s camp where we can view photos from the week and send her emails. The counselors print them out every morning and deliver them, so each night M and I compose a message and send it along. (In other words, I barf on the page and M reads it and says, “Yeah! That sounds good!” and then we send it along.)

I’m gonna try to upload this here video of my kid making a sound that resembles a sea lion, maybe? She started doing this in the shower, and we’d crack up laughing since we could hear her all the way out in the great room. Now, evidently, she does it anywhere. Including the car.

Coming up for air after over ten days of go. Party, brunch, party, recital, party, guests, party, party, party, camp. All parties and no break makes Amy a tired girl. And now, after typing it so many times, the word “party” looks pretty silly. It’s weird when that happens. “Is that spelled right?” my brain asks.

I screwed up my courage and put on my big girl panties and did something scary today.

I’ve been quiet here the past few days. I’m on a little break.

One should not accept a dinner invitation on the eve of Girl
Scout camp, especially when one worked all day, ran around like a crazy person, didn't get the laundry finished, and hadn't started packing. Especially when one's daughter has a 9 am game and is due to arrive, with her mother, at camp by 11 am. Especially when said dinner is guaranteed to go every bit as late as 11 pm. No matter how good the food is.

I was so looking forward to my boss's return from out of town today, until he got back and shocked the shit out of me with news I was not expecting. That was not a great way to end the work day.

I love this drive into work. It’s the first entrance, which is appropriately named Entry 2. It’s gorgeous in all seasons and it’s a brilliant way to start the day.

Annual check-up today, and physical required for a couple summer camps. Everything looks good. Zoe requested that he check her knee reflexes and then exploded in laughter when her legs kicked involuntarily. Her doctor cracked up, too, and probably thought, "I've seen stranger!" She was quite pleased that she didn't have to get any shots. I was quite pleased that there is no co-pay for an annual physical.
