Coming Up for Air

Okay, so.

Joseph went to camp last week and I've got A LOT to say about it.

Some absolutely awesome, some... pretty horrendous.

But I can't write about it today because it's our first day home from Joseph's road trip with his little league All Star team. (I've got some stories about that, too.)

Yes, I know. My posting has been choppy at best. I can't promise that I'll post more regularly because I've done that before and it hasn't worked. So I'm just gonna dive in when I get the chance and the inspiration.

(Sadly, I've had plenty of the latter, not so much of the former).

Why didn't I post last week while Joseph was away -- and Evan was at "Gramma" camp -- you might ask?

Well, it was THE week-- the one and only week of the year that Ryan and I have together when neither of us are checking Joseph's bgs overnight. When we're not thinking about boluses, about carbs, when we're not taking care of our kids...

So I wasn't on the computer at all, instead riding my bike with my husband-- logging 25-37 miles a day. Going out to dinner. Seeing a movie. Just staying home.

Being a couple.

It was our "Date" camp, and it was grand.

More soon...

Sandra, it sounds like you had a wonderful week. You deserve it. I'm very curious about Joseph's camp experience. Please post as soon as you can.

Date Camp sounds divine!

Molly said...

Date camp sounds like a perfect way to spend a week taking care of yourself, and each other.
Sorry to hear that there's some horrendous parts about camp. Hoping that the "absolutely awesome" parts are what stick with Joseph.

Colleen -

It was good for both of us. :-)

Kevin -

Thanks. I'll check out your site.

Carol -

I should have a camp post up before week's end. I've been doing a lot of catch up today. Also, just set up a twitter account so I can keep folks posted during those times when things get a little too hectic...

Paige -

I highly recommend it! :-)

Molly -

The horrendous part most definitely did not get in Joseph's way-- camp was still "the bomb"! :-)

Rachel said...

Yay for "date camp"! You deserve it.

Bernard said...

Sandra, we'll wait so don't rush to post.

I'm sorry to hear that camp wasn't perfect, but then I guess it never is. Glad to hear you had a good Date camp...those things are really important for you, which means they're also important for your family.

Sandra Miller said...

Thanks, Rachel.

Snackrifices -

Congratulations!

I hope you two can get some of that alone time soon as well.

Bernard -

Just posted about camp-- thanks for being so patient. :-)

And yes, I very much agree-- Date camp was a good thing for all of us.
