Do you hear that?
Silence.
And it’s weird.
Really. Really. Wierd.
I was the odd parent out today as we shipped 10 youngin’s off to summer camp.  There were tears.  There were looks of worry, wondering if their children would be okay for 5 days.

I’m supposed to be cleaning today. Remember?
Um, yeah…
Let’s just be honest for a minute. It’s not going to happen. Not today at least. I got the kitchen done yesterday. I got the laundry done yesterday. But I did not get my bedroom done, which is fine. I did [...]
