Getting Ready for Camp Again

Well, I picked DD up from camp on Friday and we have been getting ready for the next camp ever since. Actually an old friend of ours - Shawn, whom we had not seen is years - came in for the weekend. He lives in Nashville now. He arrived Friday afternoon and all of us went to our fav Mexican restaurant for dinner. Then DH drove him around town for a short while to show him some of the things that have changed since the last time he was here. Shawn and DH actually moved here together in 1989 and found me. Anyway, many moons later - we are still here and he is in Nashville. Saturday DH and Shawn took off again to do some more site seeing and DD and I hit the fabric store, Target, etc. Sunday - church, more shopping and we started packing and Shawn headed home. Today - lots more shopping but I think we have everything and if not, I think she will be just fine. I have more name labels to iron in and the final packing. I am feeling kinda sad - she is going to be gone for 5 1/2 weeks and I don't know what I am going to do. Any suggestions?

Off to Camp

Well, my one and only is off to camp (at the beach, at a resort). And she has already called twice (on a friend's cell since I wouldn't let her take hers - I really didn't think they were allowed). Once to tell me that the bus had broke down but she was fine. And a second call to tell me about the "new" bus they got to ride on b/c theirs had broken down and to complain that the arm bracelet thing that they had to wear was TOO tight and she couldn't get it off. Now, I know being a mom and all we are suppose to be able to fix things but I was unable to do anything except tell her to go and tell one of the grownups. Did I do wrong?

SpongeBob SquareFace

That's me - SpongeBob SquareFACE - I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday morning. I spent ALL day Friday and ALL day Saturday on the couch with ice bags on my face and pain pills in my body and my head elevated and today - my face is still puffy, swollen, and SQUARE.
URGHH! Not attractive at all!
On other notes - CJ is packed and ready to head off to her first camp experience of the summer. This one won't be too bad - she will be back on Friday. And this "camp" is at a resort in Myrtle Beach - doesn't sound too "Campy" does it.
So what's going on with you?

Apron Swap

Well, today was C's last day of school. She is out for the summer. We went for ice cream and a bunch of her friends were there. I offered to leave her and eat outside so she could hang out but she said no, she wanted to sit with me - such a good girl - I had better hang on to these moments.
I haven't been doing much of anything lately - no sewing, no scrapbooking, no posting on the blog. But I managed to finish an apron that I was working on for a Summer apron swap. Here is a pic

I hope my swap partner likes it.
