CAMP MOMMY: The Busy-ness of Nothing Special
![Date Date](/universal/images/transparent.png)
We had a great day today, not anything special, just a very long, busy, fun day:
"All you can do is all you can do, and all you can do is ENOUGH..."
(I love that.)
Just another day of CAMP MOMMY...
- Kids each did their Daily Chore this morning!
- 9yo Daughter went to day-camp -- she's having a really good time this week.
- I took 6yo Son (ADHD Phenom) to a doctor's appointment, which went really well.
- After, we went to Sports Authority (looking for beach chairs) and ended up buying Daddy a bunch of nice shirts for Father's Day: nice t-shirts, polo shirts, even a funky casual button-up; not athletic stuff, team jerseys or workout wear, nice stuff he can wear to work -- 30% off!
- Next, Target, which is always fun. I was looking at a $60 Lego set, ended up buying a $60 Dance, Dance Revolution Game & Dance Mat for PlayStation2, which will be a much more active diversion (especially great in our small space) -- and no little pieces to suck up with the vacuum!
- Grocery Shopping (ho hum);
- Picked up our Camper-Girl and went to our new Magical Woodsy Place for a couple of hours, hiking the trails and playing in the creek. It was beautiful.
- Rushed home to shower everybody up and get to Daddy's office for a Fiesta (party for the whole building) on the top deck of their parking garage, followed by
Flicks on 5th (outdoor movie): Night At The Museum. - I missed the movie, since I had my Midtown Book Group meeting, conveniently at the Barnes & Noble right there where they close off the street to show the movie. This month's book was THE INHERITANCE OF LOSS by Kiran Desai, which I didn't love, but I appreciate much more after having discussed, listened and learned more about Indian culture, tradition, colonialism and immigration. During the month, for comparison, I also read THE NAMESAKE by Jhumpa Lahiri, which I really did love (a very different kind of Indian immigrant experience). I can hardly wait to see the movie (on DVD, of course -- I can't remember how long it has been since I've been to a real (indoor) theatre)!
- Now I'm home. It's almost midnight. I am exhausted.
"All you can do is all you can do, and all you can do is ENOUGH..."

Your Camp Mommy series is a window into my future - starting next week.
On an unrelated note - I have tagged you in a meme. Check out my latest post if you have time.
Since Atlanta schools get out so very early (by Memorial Day), I'm glad I've been able to 'scout' it out for all of you whose children will be upon you soon enough...bah ha ha...
