D's at camp this week until Friday. I took Tues and Wed off from work. Tuesday night I am going to see Wicked with my mom and her friend. Wednesday the gas company is moving the meter from the basement outside. And all around those two events, I am supposed to finish about 3000 projects or chores around here. So far I have matched a laundry basket of socks. Woohooo! What a start!It felt a little weird dropping him off yesterday. Neither of us was really sure what to do after we checked him in. I didn't know if I should hang out 'til he got settled in and found a pal or something. I gave him a hug and left him just kinda wandering around the check-in area. I'm a little nervous about him wetting the bed. He had been doing really great for a long time, at least a month or two. Then last week it was like every night at least one accident. He got a bottom bunk right across from the bathroom, and I gave his CIT a heads-up about making sure he went before bed. I honestly think I'm more concerned about it than he is. I think he has the idea that nobody can tell that he has a cloud of pee vapors surrounding him. I don't want him to be really self-conscious if he can't help it, but if it's just a matter of him being too lazy or busy to go use it... I don't know. We have had so many way more important things to work on before this even made it onto the list. It could be a big problem at sleep away camp, though.
Of course I miss him, but it is giving me a little bit of a chance to breathe. With two therapy sessions a week, a psych med review once a month, the dentist, etc. I have the constant feeling that I'm forgetting something. This week, I'm not! It makes me second guess my hope to adopt another kid. Well, that and the fact that I would have to finish all the stalled home improvement projects before I even started the process.
I should go to bed now to get a good start on the cleaning tomorrow morning.

I know too well the temptations to "get it all done" while simultaneously "resting" when the child is gone, especially when it is very rare to be home alone. Any advice I give you will be complete hypocracy but just know that its impossible to do even one one hundredth of "it all", and that it is ok, even if it sucks.
Thanks
