This is a BIG step for me....

[CC]

In 3 weeks Chris leaves for his first ever 1 week sleep over camp. K, I know I have been fretting bout this for years LOLOL

Anywho I figured I would get no work done and just fret all week so I have booked a 3 day 2 night away during that week with my favorite #1 daughter ;D Colin is just to busy to get away and he really wants us two girls to go have time together before she leaves for college again and just plain old have fun.

So YAY we are going off to the beach, in a GREAT hotel, seeing a show, doing tons of shopping which we BOTH Love to do, booking time at the spa and ...

I figure if I am going to worry bout Chris I might as well worry while doing fun things right

I know to some this is no big deal but to me its truly BIG.

If his week away goes well then next year OMG I am free to go where ever we all want ;D

So I guess this whole post is not only bout Christopher's mile stone and his independence on going to sleep away camp but MINE too on letting go and trusting all will be well with my number 1 boy and getting some Mom/daughter quality time ;D

Along with my sweet sweet hubby being happy to just get some sleep after his 12 hour work day, LOLOL

Anywho just wanted to share my excitement

Have a GREAT weekend everybody.

Awwww CC, you're ALL going to have a blast! (Well, maybe not Collin if he has to work!) I agree with you.........it's a HUGE milestone for Chris and for you too. I was very very hesitant too, and Emily didn't have the heart issues Chris has had. But I'm going to be thinking positive thoughts (and saying a few prayers) that Chris will have an awesome time and that you will be able to relax and just have FUN.

Of course it is a big deal! Chris will have a wonderful time, and so will you and your daughter. I bet Chris comes home asking if he can go again next year, just like Laura does.

Everytime we send Clarice to camp, Dad, Mom and sister take at least part of the week to do something special together. Usually we go camping in the national forest near the camp. Sister loves the individual attention, and Mom & Dad get some down time too.

Relax, leave your cell phone number, and things should be fine. The first year I panicked because the nurse called. She called to tell me everything was going well. How did she know I needed to hear that?

That sounds really good for ALL of you CC.
and it is a huge thing to let him go off and sleep away like that.
I hope you all have a brilliant time, and you don't do too much worrying

CC, this is a super big deal. I'm sure for him it will be so much fun the week will go by fast, but for you...well, you better just keep your mind busy so you don't have to think about it too much! Enjoy your time away at the spa and relax!
