I am blue -I was sure we would get mail from our daughter today. Nope. If one more person tells me she is fine -I will explode! I KNOW she is fine -I would just like to hear from her. I should learn to keep my mouth shut as well. Grrr...
I am back at work tonight -and in 3 weeks -not a darn thing changed. The residents (doctors) are still stupid and clueless. I have now earned my 2 year AA Science degree -but there are no jobs to apply for. Figures. I will keep plugging away at both my AA Liberal Arts degree and getting a new job.
Addie had a dental appointment today that went very well. I still help her brush her teeth (she is 7) and I had noticed some staining on her molars. I had thought they might be cavities -but fortunately they are not. Yeah, Addie!
Will developed a cold last evening. He is very stuffy and did not sleep well.

Tuesday done -3 days to go
It has been a long day today. In order to conserve gas -we stayed home today. I am not sure it was worth it or not. A whole day inside with my 7 and 3 year old -argh what was I thinking? It was so darn hot and humid today -had to stay in the house. I am crabby and tired. I got nothing done and tomorrow I start back to work. How depressing.
3 days until we pick up our 9 year old from her first week long camp stay. I am missing her terribly. We are not allowed to call and she can not call us. I have sent an email to her daily as well as 2 letters snail mail. We have not rec'd a letter from her yet and she is not allowed to email. I just wish we knew how she was doing. Tomorrow I expect we will get a letter -but I have to have Addie in Rochester for her dental appointment in the morning and than I have to work so I won't even get to see it until after I get home from work (1 am)-Awwwwww!
I made some effort with Will in the potty training area -did not go well- again!
Bah humbug!
I went with a girlfriend last night to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I thought it was a great movie! I love Johnny Depp -easy on the eyes and a great actor.
I think my antidepressant is not working well these days. I know I am pms'ing as well -but I am just so down and tired. I have not made a doc appt. -I really do no want to go through a changing of meds. Guess I should suck it up and go.

Been a long time
Since my last entry. Just been busy with life I guess. Dropped off my oldest at camp today. This is her first extended amount of time away from home. I am confident it is a great camp and she will have a wonderful time -BUT -I am missing her terribly. I am an introvert and I love having my time at home -but even more I love having my family at home with me. Having her gone is very hard for me. It is all part of parenting though I guess -it is almost worse than having colicky babies -I didn't think anything would top that- live and learn I guess... Even more heartbreaking is my 7 year old already talking about how she will be going to camp as well next year! ARGH!
We still have not managed to get Will out of diapers yet and time is closing in on me. He is to start preschool this fall and they request that the children be trained. I am at my wits end. This child has no Achilles heal. He does not like candy and bribery with a new vehicle placed before him just does not work. I hate to force the deal after our experience with forcing Kenny. She ended up constipated for 2 weeks and we gave her an enema and the stubborn little girl held that enema in for 5 hours! We then gave her Miralax daily and told her she had to poop in a pull up and clean herself afterwards. It worked -but it took her umm I think 6 months before she gave up the pull-up. Ack!
Addie was a breeze to train -not sure why -she is definitely not my easiest child -but I love her anyways:)
So... We are allowed to email Kenny at camp -but it is a 1.00 an email. It comes out of her camp account. I already emailed her when we got home and I am sooo wishing I could email her again -but I don't want to put her in camp bankruptcy. We are not allowed phone calls either. How do parents do this? Send off their children to camp and live to tell about it? I have 2 other kids here at home and yet I still have time to pine away for my oldest baby girl. I have started a new book and am trying to watch TV but nothing can keep my mind off my first time camper. Clearly I am getting a taste of what 'empty nest syndrome' is all about!
