It's Friday, Day 9 out of 54 fabulous days of Summer Break & Camp Mommy, and I'm
tired, ya'll...I'm currently hiding out with the dog and my computer after separating the kids in their rooms for 15 minutes of QUIET TIME before we go across the street to the park for some fresh air and exercise that does not involve video controllers and battling/questing/goo-ing whatevers...
Our
Friday Night (Family) Date Night plan is to load up the Jeep with pillows, blankets, lawn chairs and movie treats (candy & popcorn, oh my!); pick up a hot pizza at
Whole Foods (I've heard they are delicious and not quite as non-nutritious as some other pizza providers-who-shall-not-be-named!) and park it at the
Starlight Six Drive-In for a double feature:
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian & Star Trek!
As far as Camp Mommy 2009, so far, so good:
- Last day of school for us in Atlanta was Friday, May 22nd (but we go back to school August 10th, so it basically works out the same - we just get a headstart!).
- Monday was Memorial Day. We went to the opening of our newly-renovated community pool at Piedmont Park, which is awesome!!
- I don't remember what we did Tuesday & Wednesday of last week, but we were getting ready for our Early Summer Long Weekend Getaway (Thursday - Sunday) to Concord, NC: gem mining, geocaching, Lowe's Motor Speedway & the Hendrick Motorsports Museum & Shop (woo hoo!), Discover Mills (a big mall) & the NASCAR Speedpark (faux racing!) - oh, and a day at CaroWinds, which is a big amusement park outside of Charlotte.
- We got back Sunday, cleaned up and did the laundry Monday, to take our 14yo Puberty Angst Boy (PAB) to the airport early Tuesday morning: He's off to family in Washington State for a whole month!
- We've barely known what to do with ourselves, me, almost-12yo Drama Queen and almost-9yo ADHD Phenom(they both turn in July), without PAB, but we managed...
- Wednesday: Another visit to the fabulous new pool at Piedmont Park - lots of friends, lots of fun.
- Thursday: Rainy day, we went to see the movie UP!, which we love, Love, LOVED - squirrel! - even 9yo ADHD Phenom who hates going to the movie theater, but made an exception for this movie - totally worth it! (Even though it made me cry - two times!)
- Friday: Doctor's appointments and errands, with the brief oasis of QUIET TIME in the late afternoon before we go to another movie, but this is at the drive-in, so it's different!
See you back here & on Twitter.com (follow rebelupdate!) next week for the continuing adventures of Camp Mommy 2009.
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!
