So I even downloaded the WordPress iPhone app so that I could update my blog whilst on vacation and at camp. That? Did not happen. It probably would have been cathartic during some of the more stressful times, but oh well. I am back in town and I think I'm gonna put myself on a blog-specific writing schedule. And I am 99% sure that I am going to completely switch to WordPress because it just looks so much prettier, is most excellent to navigate, and offers a few more options than the other (see: iPhone app). All of this to say, if you are one of my trusty seven-or-so followers on blogspot, please follow me here, now. I promise I won't change again.
Today I began writing out my check for cheer when it struck me that I might be able to take a short, weekend-long vacation with that money. Here are a few of the things that I can do for the same amount (give or take $50) as my monthly cheer payment:
Flight & Hotel for: several TX cities, Boston, Colorado Springs, Los Cabos MX, or Nashville
Season ticket for the Majestic (two if I get the cheap seats)
Next year's camp for one kiddo
Chris now wants to know why I am looking at vacation deals for one. I just might need it, sweetie. I just might need it.
I am on day 2 of 4 off before heading back to work after two weeks off. So, so hard to go back after being gone for two weeks. Super glad that I had the foresight to take today off as recovery. We managed to navigate the tricky waters of catering to the agendas of six separate people while on a group vacation and had a fantastic time in Vegas. But with anytime you take a trip to an area with that much to do, we ended pretty much every day exhausted. Totally happy, but totally wiped. I came home (via 20 hour road trip) and in less than twelve hours was back on the road to attend CAMP, session one.
I love camp. It is one of my favorite things every summer and I am so bummed that I only was able to attend one this year. It, like Vegas, is exhausting physically, but completely recharges my soul. I love, love, love hanging out with the little guys and seeing the teenagers give their time and service so willingly gives me hope for this next generation. This will be the first time in nine years that I won't be attending camp with K. She says it is fine. Maybe for her...but not so much with me. If you see quasi-depressed posts next week...now you'll know why.
Because we are supposed to miss as few practices as possible, she skated in at almost 4:00 from being a Jr. Counselor and was back on the road a mere two hours later on the way to tumbling. On the plus side, she's the only freshmen working on her layouts, so yay for her! I can't wait to see everything she's doing pulled together on our first parent night. So proud.
Wonder if I should invest in a full-on screen-printed t-shirt with her picture OR one of those throw blankets that I can take to the winter football games. Hmmmm...what would embarrass her more?
Current mood: Rejuvenated spiritually. Waiting for the physical rest to catch up.
