summer, anyone?

Camp Weary Parent has been in full swing all summer, but the fearless leaders over at Weary Parent are marching gamely on. Charlene is playing her own game of Survivor and counting down to school (38 days!), while Christine is wondering when her teens decided she was uncool…
Here at SoloMother, the summer seems to be sliding by pretty smoothly. The King of Everything has a great haircut and brand new shoes, thanks to his grandparents (size 13.5 WIDE and he’s only 5 years old). All his best summer memories have been lovingly crafted by his grandmother and grandfather–berry picking, a romp around a working farm that caters to entertaining families, and a couple of amusement parks. He’s been to New York City to watch the Yankees play at Shea Stadium with his best friend. I’ve been working. I know single mothers don’t have the corner on the working world, but it sure is sad to have to work the summer away.
My turn for summer fun with my favorite boy comes on Monday, when we climb into a friend’s car and drive up to Delaware for a few days at the beach. Thanks to the readers of SoloMother, I managed to save enough money, despite a delinquent dad and a non-profit job, for a mini-vacation. Your readership is invaluable, in more ways than one. Thank you.
What are you doing this summer?
The Boy and I are going on our first ever camping excursion (in a full facility cottage lol) in two weeks!!
Very exciting! I can’t wait because I know he’s just going to love it!
Nicole, that sounds so fun! We’re thinking of taking a weekend jaunt up to a campground that has little cabins, just electricity, no kitchen or air conditioning…
