Not Much

July 27, 2005 Today was my first day at work all week. I was sick all week end. It was really weird because my neck was killing me and I had a severe sore throat, but really no other symptoms except just feeling lousy. I stayed home on Monday couldnt get up. And yesterday R was sick, so I stayed home on Tuesday too. Im still feeling kind of lousy, but had to go back today. A went off to camp this afternoon. Last year she went to camp with her Grammy, it was a program designed for younger kids where they go with their parent or grandparent. I had figured that this year shed be ready to go by herself. I had visions of J and A, both being gone for a week, but it was not to be. She didnt want to go by herself, so she went off with Grammy again. This morning on my way to work I was talking to my friend BMN. We were talking about how A has become my special child. In her younger years, A was well known as being very independent, boisterous, outspoken the extrovert. But (and we figured this out this morning) since R was born, A has become very sensitive to change and very attached to me. There are tears when I go to work. There are tears when I drop her off at the babysitter. And with the tears comes clamming up, so you have a teary kid and dont know what caused the tears, great huh? This morning when I was trying to leave for work, there were tears. She wanted me to be there when she left for camp saying good-bye in the morning wasnt good enough. So, after being out all week, I took off for an hour today to run an errand and go say good-bye to Ano more tears. Phew! Ha! R just came over to show me a HUGE, PUMPKIN eraser in her mouth. Oh well, at least now she shows me...
