Is time moving slowly?

Gosh it seemed like the week would never end. Perhaps it was because Stinky went away to camp and I missed my mess maker. He was sick the last day of camp. Seems that the heat, lack of water, and lack of sleep caught up with him. How many times can a kid puke especially when he doesn't eat the food the camp provides? Eight times. Poor kiddo. He was tired, had too much milk not enough food, or water, and definitely not much sleep. I'm trying to get him hydrated now. He says he had a lot of fun. Made some friends, exchanged numbers and all that. He was also one handsome looking kid if I must say so. He wore his UVA/rash guard shirt most of the time. Looking at the group of kids I saw, yea, he looked good. He's growing into a good looking kid. Broad shouldered, slim hipped, no visible fat. I'm in trouble. He tried to take a nap the other day and the kids were checking on him, then a girl came over and chatted him up. He was busy.

I tried to keep busy myself, but I just didn't do as much. Just puttered around the house. I did run some errands with Droopy. She talks a lot. I thought I talked a lot, but I ended up being the listener. I swear that is a role I seem to take on often. I love chatting online with friends with yahoo or skype. I can just type and type and read what they have to say, change the subject come back to it, whatever. I feel like I get the chance to speak. It doesn't matter if they don't read it all. At least I got to say it.

Drama in the subdivision

Wowie, there's a line drawn in the sand and I got suckered in somehow. Whinis's mom and rough kid's mom had a falling out over rough kid. Rough kid made a mess throwing rasberries in whinis's room. He then lied to whinis's mom that he didn't do anything to the room. Which escalated to name calling and lying. Whinis's mom told me about it all, and I told her that rough kid wasn't to play with Stinky, because he broke Stinky's C02 gun, by mis loading it. This was Goof's decree. I shouldn't have said anything and just waited for Rough kid to come over and I would have let him know at that time. As it was we were just going to avoid the kid for a while and let things blow over with Goof. He figured that the cost of the gun was going to be eaten by us and we weren't going to get another one. Instead Droopy told her.

I don't really like Rough kid. He doesn't listen to adults. Rough kid's mom makes excuses for him. We all make excuses for our kids, but whatever. As it is, I met another neighbor kid's dad, and he basically doesn't like rough kid either. He has no idea I have been talking to Droopy about it all. From what I got, rough kid's mom is blaming Whinis for making all the neighborhood kids not want to play with rough kid. Take a hint lady, find out what your kid is doing. Watch him interact with other kids and adults. Don't let him disrespect you. Take care and don't be so permissive or lax.

So tomorrow Stinky heads off to camp for a week. A whole week without him. What am I gonna do? Close all the drapes and run around the house nekkid. This is the first time that he's gone away someplace that does not involve family. He's never been away from family whether it's my mom or mil, or just a few houses away for a sleep over. It's a big step for us. I know he'll have fun, but I worry about him. The camp counselors are telling us, that there will be no phone calls home unless something happens to him. No news is good news. He's not allowed to bring a cell phone or make calls home. Wow. I hope he will be okay.
