What a day! Both kids are at camp. Would think the gray hairs would go away for a week. But of course not. DD left June 21 for camp. She has been a CIT all summer. Last week moved up to to title of Counselor for a week. 2 friends drove her to camp-- 400 miles from home (at least). Insists I don't worry, her friends will be going up to the camp on Thursday to pick her up.
DS left last week for first trip to camp. He has never been away from home except with family. Very socially immature. He flies up to camp. Has a set flight for Thursday to come home.
Today I am at the HS helping at the Grad night table at registration. 1 GF comes by the table. Tells me she can't go up to bet my DD. I figure I will call other GF in a few hours (it was only 7:30 am, did not want to wake other GF up so early). 9:30 AM, DD calls my cell. She is hysterical. No one can pick her up. The GF I was going to call said her father won't let her drive her car up to the camp it is a piece of junk. DD says she can't fly home-- way too much junk. She said she will GF again and see what is happening, will call me back in 5 minutes. I now trying to figure out what I can do. I have quilting bee (I guess this is not totally off topic) at my house Thurs, Fri and Sat to work on the guild president's quilt.). Figure I will have to leave key with past president, board dog and leave either tomorrow or Wed to get to the camp to get her. If I drive up, no sense having son fly home. I will have to put up with both of them fighting for hours and hours.
DD calls back. GF talked to my ex. She is going to use my DD's camry to drive up to the camp to get DD. DS will still fly down. DD then tells me that DS has a major melt down this weekend. Was very homesick. Cried (he is almost 14) for an hour uncontrollably. Head counselor had to sit and talk to him for over 2 hours to get him to calm down. Now I am in worry mommy mode and can't do anything for either of them. YIKES!! Why can't they stay little, stay in their crib and not grow up?????
