This morning I put my 9 year old on a bus to camp for 5 days. FIVE!!! DAYS!!! There were about 200 other kids going -- 6 from his soccer team -- and he was so happy & excited when I left, but tonight I sit here wondering ----- where is he sleeping, are they all still together, what did he have for dinner, DID they even make it to Brownwood???????I know that I would have heard something by now if they hadn't made it, but .... I guess I should explain that they were not allowed to take ANY electronic devices with them to camp. So has I sit here staring at his cell phone, I realize how dependent I have become upon it to know where he is and what he is doing.
So for the next 5 days I am going to be left wondering --- what is he wearing, does he know where his shoes are (something I am always having to help him find), what activity is he doing, does he miss me as much as I am missing him?????
