Even in such a short period of time my dad (babysitting with my mom) managed to accidentally drop Lola on her head and pin her under a recliner (long story) while he was rough-housing with her. Sigh... she wasn't seriously hurt, but it still makes me kinda sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Lola is so physical and active, and even those who know her (me included, at times) fail to anticipate what she will get into. Makes me nervous about leaving her with anybody. 12 hours, for an out-of-town wedding.

Camp was 9AM-4PM. Really, the only time she and I are in different locations is when I do the weekly grocery-shopping or minimal other errands...when that happens, Dad stays with her. We've taken two vacations since she was born, and the kids were with us both times (and both vacations ended unexpectedly shortly).

Thank you for taking the time to talk to me in between sessions. This is the second time in almost 13 years that I have traveled to another state without my son, so I know how you feel. Thank you. You really made my day today. Shash It was so nice to meet you today. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me in between sessions.

It was hard on me- Jaysen handled it like a champ while I was gone. When I returned, it seemed a bit overloading to him. He became so overwhelmed, that he ended up having a brief, 10 minute meltdown (complete with physical aggression), but after that subsided, he was stuck to me like glue. 6 days when I went for training in Florida last month (through work).

Every summer I go camping (really far out in the middle of nowhere, canoe in, backpack type of camping) with a group of wonderful women. It's my yearly recharge without the husband and kids time. It's hard to be away that long but luckily (or unluckily) nobody really notices I'm gone. *sigh* The longest I’ve been away is 3 days….and it seems like forever.
