Welcome to my world of middle school, high school, and motherhood. The life of a mom is never easy, especially as children grow, and especially when you have a special needs child. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| Journey has made her way home from Girl Scout camp safe and sound, with many memories made, some items that she created, and whole bunch of insect bites. All in all, a good time was had. She made a friend at camp, which personally I like a lot better than going with a friend to camp, so that way they connect with each other most throughout camp itself. Sometimes I find when you go with a friend outside of camp, they tend to find other people that interest them as well, but sometimes you get left behind. I think personally, if it were me, I would just want to go in by myself and see if I could make a friend there instead. Journey does amazing going to camp on her own, without knowing someone, and this year, came back with a friend! Her mom and I connected, and we passed the girls information to each other, so hopefully we'll keep in touch. I excited Journey by letting her know that it's a possibility that we could put her friend and her in the same session next year, and she was very excited at that prospect. We're 4 days away from our trip to Minnesota to see my very best friend. Journey and I are insanely excited!! So is my best friend. We've kind of kept quiet about me going there, but I will post a photo of us on Facebook once I get there. I don't care if people get upset, this is a trip that needs to be documented. I will be taking pictures. Journey is excited to go on an airplane again, for the first time in about 9 years. I'm going to make sure she takes her motion sickness medicine so everything goes somewhat smoothly on the plane. We decided to pack our suitcase today. We'll pack our backpacks by Wednesday, and be ready to go for that night. Ryan says he's going to spend most of his time sleeping, hahaha. I asked him to set an alarm so that he wakes up in the morning to feed the cat at least. I'm having him check the mail every day, and he needs to clean the cat's litter box on Thursday, and then again on Monday. I wonder what Dixon's going to do while we're gone? He's seen Don go outside of the house for a while, he's seen Ryan leave the house for a weekend, and he's seen Journey leave the house to go to camp, and he doesn't really seem too fazed by it. However, Meowlel has rarely ever left his company, and most especially not overnight, so I'm curious to see if anything changes in his demeanor. Truth be told, I'm just his slave, so he may be dancing a jig when I leave. You never know. In less than two weeks, we will be finding out both of the kids' schedules for school. In about 17 days, we have the opportunity to tour her middle school and meet her teachers. In 18 days, we have the opportunity to do the same for Ryan and his high school. We're about halfway through August now. I was acutely aware this was going to happen. Journey turns 11 in 10 days. We are super excited for her! We got her a set of rocks and gemstones, and a book about rocks and gemstones for her birthday. She's very into geology right now, which I love. She has a very scientific mind. She also loves baking, which again, is a science, but also makes delicious things. She loves to see the chemical reactions that baking makes, and how it makes things taste. I love working with her on these things, it's lots of fun! 15 years on WDC today. 12 years of blogging. It's very much been a worthwhile ride. |
