And no bears, please

Claire is away at science camp this week. I was trying to explain to Mark how I felt about her absence. I said I felt like a part of me was walking around out there somewhere and I couldn't feel it or hold it. There's a feeling of suspense or anxiety that is only calmed when my children are at home under the same roof with me. I love Thursday nights because no one has any meetings or sports practices that night. All my little chicks are at home with Mommy and Daddy and the weekend is one day away. (Plus I don't have to make lunches on Thursday nights because that's the kids' job.)

But I'm sure she's having a good time with her friends. As long as she stays dry in all this rain....
