Off to Camp


Yesterday I took Jordan to basketball camp at a college two hours away. He went to this camp last year with the same two friends as this year and he had a blast. We left at 11:00 a.m. and picked up his friend, Tyler, and Tyler's mom, Beth. Beth and I visited all the way there and back and had such a great time! We ate at Olive Garden for lunch and I haven't ate there in a long time. Actually I haven't ate there since having surgery and the salad and soup tasted sooooo good!! It did agree with me too which was nice. When we got to the dorm they would be staying in we checked them in, got them to their room with Jordan's other friend, Nolan, and made their beds and got them settled in. Then we had to make a quick run to the nearest gas station to get gum for them. After dropping the gum off at the front desk of the dorm, we were off to come home.

Kota went with us as well. He had a morning practice for his regular season team that is going to the championship and then he had night practice for the all star team. He has two practices today as well. Kota says he's not playing baseball next year cause he's burned out on it. He will probably change his mind between now and then but I do understand how he's tired of doing two practices a day. His championship game is next Tuesday then we leave on vacation for the rest of the week so he will get a little break from it all.

I miss Jordan terribly! I'm used to the fighting, bickering and teasing that comes with him in the house. Now Kota doesn't have anyone to fight with and the house is so quiet. It's almost too quiet if that's possible. I will cherish it now cause come Sat. night things will be back to normal. I consider this a little vacation for myself from playing referee and I plan on savoring every minute. I know they grow up way too fast and I cherish my time with them, but listening to bickering all day can grate on even the most patience person's nerves! For now, I am in the quiet fortress that is my home with only one child.
