I'm Back/Kids are back from Sleep Away Camp

I've been so bad at blogging. Sorry to all of you who kept checking. I was so obsessed with finding my kids in photos each day combing through hundreds of photos and trying to spot the back of my kids heads. I also wrote them each and every day. This was soooo time consuming. Next year I will be much better. This was my first year for both kids to go to sleep away camp. What I learned...... Those pictures will always be waiting for me and not to write each day. All the junk games, books, stickers are never used. The only thing girls play with is Jacks. The only thing little boys play with is Pokeman cards. My son told me that he never read any of my letters because they were too long. All that time wasted. I now know that the kids are really happy with the camp we chose and they both made so many friends. I can now send them off next year and enjoy my time alone. I was really quite surprised how much I loved the empty house and the freedom to do what I want.

One of the other reasons I have haven't been blogging is I am focusing on my home based business. When I am home I am either on the phone with business partners or managing my web portal on the computer. I am starting to take this business more seriously. I did miss blogging though.

So the kids came home with over 100 lbs of laundry and my son came home with lice. We went straight to Hershey Park from camp but our first stop home was the lice lady. We all had to get combed out and all the the camp duffels went straight to the laundry mat. $120 in comb outs and checking and $126 at the laundry mat. I am an expert at combing out and if anybody local needs to be combed out I can always help.

The kids are back at school and their schedule is crazy. My little 8 yr old started tackle football and it is 4 days a week. Hebrew School twice a week, drum and skate board lessons, dance, tennis and girl scouts. I just never thought I would be one of those moms. I love some down time. They both quit soccer. Football and tennis are short seasons so it will change end of November.

I will start blogging but I can't promise it will be every day.
Miss you all!!!
