I feel like I have spent the last few days in the car oh wait I have.
I had to rent a car on Saturday to take Sara to swim camp because
I was also suppose to take her friend also and then her friends mom
was going to pick them up on Saturday. Well I rented the car and
as we were driving home her friend texted her and said I have bad
news. Panic set in and Sara called and the friend said she couldn't go
because she didn't have her paper work she needed. grrrrrrrrrrrr.
So I rented a car I didn't need to spending money I don't have, see
prior post about hole in yard for one of the reasons, and had to
convince a very freaked out child that she would be fine and have
fun anyway.
This is a young lady that would like you to think she is so independent.
Well this is the first time in her 16years of life she has been away from
home by herself for this long. She is shy and has difficulty meeting people
and was petrified to go into this camp not knowing anybody. And I was
trying to be brave to help her through it. I should get a medal I didn't
fall apart till after we said goodbye and I walked out of the room. Ian
tried to reassure me she would be fine and I told him he thought this was
bad just wait till August 23rd that this was mild compared to then.
I touched base with her that night and she had already made a friend
named Suzy from Brooklyn. Her roommate was only 12 but it is like rooming
with her sister and I told her she would probably be in there only to sleep
so don't worry. Then she finally called tonight and was totally exhausted after
3 sessions and fun and games today and sounded like she was having fun.
She said there are 2 groups of girls 1 is a group of materialistic girls from
Fairport haha and then the other girls. She hangs with both but prefers
the other girls.
So I will sleep hopefully better tonight and not worry about her as much.
Oh and the ride home now my husband will have to miss most of Ian's
grad party so he can go and pick Sara up on Saturday. I hope her "friend"
feels really bad for ditching her and she has a great time and her friend is
sorry she didn't go.
Funny side note that wasn't so funny this morning. I drove to return the
rental car and forgot to take my car keys for my car. It wouldn't have been
so bad but the rental place was almost and hour from my house. So I spent
most of today in a car, so long in fact that I could have driven to Maine.
Maybe I should have.
Off to bed and the mind better shut off so I can get to sleep. I have way to
much to do before Saturday, Calgon take me away.
