Madi left for girls camp at noon today. She was so excited to go!
This is her first year of camp, she could've gone last year but that's a whole other story.
Even tho she tries my patience on a daily bases, I miss her already.
I'm worried that she will be ok. She will. Grandma is her beehive advisor AND camp director!
Still, that didn't help me from crying as they pulled out of the driveway.
Now, the house is quiet.
Too quiet.
So what do I do? I turn on tv. and watch the MJ memorial.
Haven't I already cried enough today? Did I turn it off? Ummm no. Did I cry some more? Ummm ya.
Say what you will about MJ, I for one really like him.
In the 80's and now.
This poster is one of my favs. I had it in my room. And still have it in a case in storage. Along with my Thriller record- that's right people I said record. I am that old.
I remember going down to my sister's best friends house (HOLLA STACI!) and spend all day in front of the tv just hoping that MTV would show the music video of Thriller. Staci's parents were so cool...they had cable! (oh and I have the origional release of it on VHS ) again, I am that old. Then we would call up KCPX and request his music over and OVER!
Good times. Just a sad day.

We were so cool with cable and pong! But I remember having that same record and playing it over and over again on the record player "cabinet" (with 8 tracks too). "Thriller" was the only MJ album that I loved and then I lost the interest. As of late, I do think that MJ's life has been troubled. But the memorial made me think that this poor man never had a normal life and he was a promoter of peace. I too cried today. But I smiled at this blog. Thanks for the memories!
I am so sorry that you are feeling so blue (sniff) I feel your pain, cuz I have one that will be going next year to camp! I get so nervous whenever I have to let her go without me anywhere. We just started a new therapy program that is all day long and boy is that hard. I know that you are an awesome mom and will get through this...thankfully she is with G-ma! Could I borrow her next year for Kailee's first year at camp?! I hope your day looks up and you feel peace:) Also I don't hold the whole MJ thing against you cuz John and I are the same...Thriller!!!!
I love that you love MJ, me too! I didn't like his behavior recently but I still love his music! My husband will still bust a MJ move once in a while (don't tell him I said that!) I bet your daughter will have so much fun, I can't wait till mine get to go!
Okay - I feel for ya. I'm both excited and terrified at the same time for when Brownie goes to mutual!! At least you have Grandma with her! I'm sure my that hubby will be volunteering for a shift at camp! :0)
I feel your pain this week. I sent Carter for 6 days to scout camp, and cried 3 times since monday morning. I just worry that he will get along with the kids, be safe, and is having fun. I pray he is not sitting in his tent depressed. It is hard to let the ones go that have special needs. I had a really hard day monday, but was busy with camp yesterday so it was better. I never worried about Taylor going, but I sure have Carter. At least grandma is there for madi. Jared goes to camp tonight for the rest of the week. Hopefully I wont worry after that. Oh, and this is the camp where the boy got eaten by the bear because he put food in his sleeping bag? maybe that is part of it too? I don't know, but I know how you feel. You just want them to be safe and have a good time & good experience. I will pray for her like I am praying for Cater. K :) oh and I loved MJ too. I didn't like the things he did, but I think he had amazing talent that will be greatly missed. I love ya Jen...call me and maybe we can do lunch this week?
