If I knew how to do a ‘bullet post’, I’d do it now :-p
Girls are at girl scout camp & I’m going crazy wondering how they’re doing. The rules were ‘no cell phones’, but I told Allison that that was clearly intended for little girls who might misuse the phones, chatting with friends instead of doing camp activities & encouraged her to break that rule, just so I’d be able to contact her if I needed to. I’ve been wanting to call ever since the minute I drove away from the camp yesterday afternoon, but have succeeded in not calling, so far. I leave work to pick them up in 15 minutes, so I think I’m going to make it. I hope they’re having fun, though - it’s about 90 degrees out there & they slept on a platform tent under mosquito netting last night.
It’s going to be such a cool memory for the two of them, of this sister bonding experience that they shared…
Shelby’s getting through Cub Scout Day camp alright, too, this week. Hot. Hot, hot hot out there. And, he’s never a big fan of organized activities. But, he’s only having occasional meltdowns there & always comes home with a smile on his face, asking for one boy or another to come back to our house to play.
We’ve got 6 foster puppies right now. They were 5 wks old when we got them last week, so we’ll have them for 2 more weeks. They appear to be mostly lab. And, of course, they are adorable. They are especially cute when you open the half-door gate to get them from the puppy pen in the basement & they all stand up on the short wall there, peering out at you en masse. I’ll try to grab a pic of that later tonight, when Al gets home with the camera 
If it weren’t maddeningly entertaining, I might block a couple of people (well, one person) on Y!A. Would that mean that I wouldn’t have to see the mindless crap that she types out there? She’s a mom who says that spanking is a good thing, because she was spanked & she turned out fine. But, I’m not really all too sure about that 
She never seemed to learn that the needs of other people in the world are just as important as her own. Her baby has to go potty? It’s everyone else’s problem to solve. She wants to get out of her car in a crowded parking lot? Everyone else can just wait for her. etc….
Shelby after boy scout camp yesterday, when another mom & I were talking about maybe meeting at the pool with our boys… “No, I don’t think we should go to the pool. It wouldn’t be fair for Annie who can’t go because she’s at girl scout camp.”
“The people I “picked on” with the exception of Miss Ann who requested her post, are on the whole a bunch of self-centered, retarded, look-at-me, look-at-me attention whores who spend most of their time basking in the non-existant rays of their own brilliance”, said the self-centered, intellectually challenged, look-at-me, look-at-me attention whore who spends most of her(?) time basking in the non-existent (sp corrected) rays of her(?) own brilliance.
To the cub scout mom complaining about the way the 14-yo volunteering his time for your child’s benefit boy scout was running the sports activity at Cub Scout camp. I know that I said “Aww, sounds like he was having a pretty bad day, too” when we were talking about it. But, what I wanted to say was “What if this were your son as a boy scout, 7 years from now, volunteering his time to help out at Cub Scout camp? How would you want the cub scout moms to react to his mistakes & his bad day?”
