Wow, the summer has really gotten away from me. Things are still going well. Our money situation is still slowly working itself out. A little too slowly at times but, it is all good.

One of my sponsees is getting high and another is about to celebrate a year clean and sober. And the nice thing about all of that is I am not God and I am not responsible for their recoveries. I just get to witness the miracles.

Last week Sam had Vacation Bible School and next week he is of to sleep over camp. It is Sam's first time away at camp. In fact it will be the first time he has been away from both of us for more than one night. So far I am fine but, ask me again next week.

Today I am grateful for:

I am so glad you didn't get eaten by the dinosauers!
 
Sounds like a happy, busy summer. Thank you for the reminder about not being God and not being responsible for others recovery.

Max leaves for his first away camp in 2 weeks. I'm nervous as hell, but I know it will be a wonderful time for him. What lucky boys to be able to go away to camp!
 
I know how you feel about time. It has gotten away from me too. I've been too busy this summer. I need some time to relax. .
 
Glad that you are having an eventful summer. Good for Sam. I hope he will be more excited than nervous about this sleep over. In the end it does work out.
 
ahhh we've missed ya girl!!!
 
awesome news trudge, i'm not sure how i could deal with luke being away that long. he's never spent a night away from both of us either.

love is always a gift to be grateful for :)
 
It is awesome to watch the light go on in sponsee's eyes. Sad when or if they go out again but some stick and its a miracle in process
 
I am with you on how summer has gotten away from ya... we are there to. I think today I will enjoy the summer.
I am sorry to hear about your sponsee, and hope she pulls her head out of her ass.
My baby is away too... LOL I so can relate to you there as well- He will be fine and have a good time, and you will get somen time to yourself... look at like that
I hope you all have a great 4th
 
i was a WRECK the first time my bean went away on camp. so much so that i volunteered to help there.... heee heee, cheating, but it worked....
 
We haven't been able to convince our son to go to sleep away camp yet, but we're close. Maybe next summer. Not that we want to be away from him, it's just part of growing up.
 
Good Healthy & Love...what more do we need huh? Awesome :)
 
The summer sure is going by fast. After the 4th of July it seems to go even faster. Let us know how you survive sleep over camp.
