We took our oldest up to Des Moines today to catch his ride to go hiking in the Rocky Mountains……we are more exciting then him. I think he’s more nervous about being around teens he doesn’t know, but let the growing begin!!

We had a good trip up…we drove into an electric storm, a great display of fireworks, God’s style. I don’t like thunderstorms at all, but it was something to behold. We were actually listening to an Odessey CD and their story had a thunderstorm going on as well.

We gave him $80.00 spending money for food going out and back….first thing he asked was, “do I get to keep the leftover money?”
He wants to save up for those shoes, nike shocks!! He’ll have to dig into his health savings account for those things.

I did bribe him for pictures. I told him if he used up all 3 cameras, I would give him $10.00! Hope it works!

Getting the boy ready for camp is driving me crazy!! Not sure if its the stress from last year from him being in the hospital or just the simple fact he’s leaving for a week and out of my control. The funny thing is, I’m not the pampering mother……I know my job is to train them to get out of the house. But maybe all of this is hitting me in a different way…..whatever it is, I don’t like it. I feel and probably look very grouchy right now!!

And he is just in a happy go lucky mood………..not a care in the world! One day he will know how I’m feeling cause the same thing will happen to him and he will need shampoo for thinning hair and something to cover the gray! Hopefully I will be around to laugh at him!!
