Hope everyone is fine. It sounds like weather/fires are the 'hot topic', as well as what's for dinner.

I'm still in my computer training class; finishing up Excel, about to start PowerPoint next week. Pretty interesting stuff. Learning how to make column and pi charts. Very cool.

Had a blast at my nephew's wedding this past Sunday....Getting ready to get up to camp a week from tomorrow (already!). Please pray for him (and me), as we have NEVER been apart for more than a week or so--when I was in the psych unit a few years ago. 7 wks is a long time. Especially with only 2 phone calls the whole time; a 2 day visit, however, emails every night if we wish. I'm going to miss him as much as he is going to miss me. I just hope and pray that he will give it a chance and not throw in the towel right away.

My daughter, , 14, is giving me the hardest time! I had signed her up for a Mission trip at our church--they're going by RVs to Tennessee to do some sort of mission work there. Should be TONS of fun, work, yes, but fun just the same. She claims I never 'asked' her whether or not she wanted to go...the MS brain has no recollection whatsoever of the entire asking vs non-asking... Anyway. She is partially paid for, and whether or not she goes, I will have to pay her full price. If she goes, it will be cheaper, as the church is underwriting it, however, if she doesn't go, I'm responsible for the entire thing! It's a lot of money.

I told her, if she doesn't go, no cell phone, laptop or friends for the entire week. I feel like she is wavering ever so slightly. Please pray on this for me; I really need it right now. My husband is flipping out about this as well.

Also...remember Munchkin...well, taking care of her has pretty much gone out the window as far as the kids are concerned. They'll walk her around the block once or twice a day, but there is rarely any playing with her. My husband is also enraged about that...SO, life is hectic and a bit nuts...Hope no one is overwhelmed with the length of this email.

Please stay well everyone!

love,

Kate

Kate its hard when the kids go away for the first time. Hang in there. You are

both in my prayers. As far as your daughter goes she would go like it or not.

Its not right that she backs out now. I am sure you didn't just put money down

on this trip without asking her. If she doesn't go stick to your guns with

taking away the computer etc.

Sweetie, if *I* can make it 18 months without Robbin, YOU can do 7 weeks...trust me, we cope. Not saying it will be easy, but you can do it, and he will be too busy having run to notice the time passing. You can ALWAYS call me if you need to.

I think the no-packages-policy may be for the better. I remember one camp I went to as a kid. We lived in tents (which I have always hated by the way, but having a 10-man tent on my own made it almost liveable), and the camp leaders delivered letters etc in the mornings, when we were in, or around, our tents, getting ready for the day. One morning was the morning of my tent-neighbor's (=kid in the tent next to me) birthday. We could see from far away that the post that was being carried in our direction included one very colorful package, and he said that he was sure it was a birthday gift from his parents, although they had said they would celebrate his birthday when he was back home again.

My sister had planned the perfect packages, which she was eagerly awaiting to send. We went to a wedding recently (my nephew's) and my sister took a family picture of us with 3 of my children's S.O.s(significant others). She took one nice one, then asked us all to make goofy/silly faces; we complied of course! Anyway, clever her, took the photo and had it made into a puzzle! She was going to send a few pieces of it each week so that he could put it together and have his family right there with him at camp. Mare (sister) is going to be so heart-broken when she hears her packages won't be allowed. (I do so get the no-package policy; it's unfair to other kids. Letters, yes, but packages, no. That story about your camp-mate is so sad. Poor him. I'll bet in some small

way, you felt a bit guilty, at least I would have, that you received something, and he did not. Put you in a very awkward position, though it was thoughtful of your mom.love,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Sat, June 18, 2011 12:39:35 PMSubject: Re: just checking in...

I think the no-packages-policy may be for the better. I remember one camp I went to as a kid. We lived in tents (which I have always hated by the way, but having a 10-man tent on my own made it almost liveable), and the camp leaders delivered letters etc in the mornings, when we were in, or around, our tents, getting ready for the day. One morning was the morning of my tent-neighbor's (=kid in the tent next to me) birthday. We could see from far away that the post that was being carried in our direction included one very colorful package, and he said that he was sure it was a birthday gift from his parents, although they had said they would celebrate his birthday when he was back home again. The rest of us kids around agreed. Of course it was. Turned out the package was a surprise gift for me from my mother, and he didn't even get a card from his parents, or from anyone. Nothing in the mail for him. I just felt so bad for him, and you could see he was sad too, even if he tried his best to say he really didn't care, and that they were gonna celebrate his birthday when he got home, etc. It was not that the package from mum was anything fancy, a book and a couple of pencils I think it was, it was just that I got a gift on his birthday, and he got nothing.So I think maybe the no packages rule is a good thing, it might prevent things like that. I am sure would not have to miss

anything from you if you could send packages, you are such a good mother, but other kids might not be so lucky.Anyway, wishing for the best!love/Reb>> Thanks, Akiba...I may just take you up on your phone offer.

I think I finally got her to 'crack'. Looks like I managed to coerce her into going. It IS somewhat against her will~but I don't really care; I refuse to pay $775 when she's not going. If she does go, it will only cost $450, as the church will underwrite the rest.I REALLY appreciate the prayers, nne. I so covet them!love to you and Chuck, and thanks for being such a prayer warrior!KateFrom: nne Svihlik

Kate its hard when the kids go away for the first time. Hang in there. You are both in my prayers. As far as your daughter goes she would go like it or not. Its not right that she backs out now. I am sure you didn't just put money down on this trip without asking her. If she doesn't go stick to your guns with taking away the computer etc.

Good point Anne! In this house IF she didn't go for some reason, she wouldn't be

able to have tv, cell, games, outside activities, until she worked off the $750!

Our boys when they were in Scouts went to Philmont, NM on a special trip. They

WORKED to pay their way. We didn't have the money to do it, even if we did, they

needed to learn that things in life are not free! Maybe I was mean, but they

sure grew up to be great kids and adults :-)

know of Philmont well - my brother - before the bad one came out - was a boy scout and leader and was out there every year

I was always a strict Mm - 3 years after the divorce my MIL complimented me on the boys

I am even crankier with grandkids - neither of my DIL are worth talking about - so my oldest grandson has no manners - no presents from now on

Christmas cards and birthday - since I have not had a thank you card since he was 7 - his mom half assed them

I have no sympathy with drama queens - either gender God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Good point Anne! In this house IF she didn't go for some reason, she wouldn't be able to have tv, cell, games, outside activities, until she worked off the $750! Our boys when they were in Scouts went to Philmont, NM on a special trip. They WORKED to pay their way. We didn't have the money to do it, even if we did, they needed to learn that things in life are not free!

Boy you and I Anne would make a great pair! Our older son has 2 daughters whom

the mother has turned them against him. They are spoiled rotten as of the last

time we saw/talked to them over 8 yrs ago. Unless they were with our son, they

never called and thanked us for anything. GRRRRRRRRRRRR We don't even claim

them. Its a shame but they don't want to have anything to do with any of us. So

we now have 4 loving and well mannered grandkids.

The boys had a blast at Philmont. They were still in high school when they went.

I think jr and sr year. They loved it. Both boys made Eagle Scout at 16 and 17.

I told our kids that I will not tolerate any disrespect etc from the grankids. I

didn't take it from the kids I am NOT going to take it from the g-kids. The only

one that tried one time was our son next doors, sig. others daughter. We

consider her a granddaughter since they are together almost 11 yrs. got

mouthy a couple of times and we let her know it wasn't acceptable and then told

our son and him and his sig. other got after her and they made her come and

apologize. I sometimes have a loud debate with our oldest son. I love to get him

going :-) LOL Chuck gets upsets and thinks we are arguing. I have to reassure

him that our son is not being disrespectful and we are just " debating " .

Hugs

my crazy cousin had a divorce from hell with his first marriage - he paid through the nose with child support and private school right down to his daughter full college and law school tuition and a year abroad in England as a Fullbright Schollar

her mom brain washed her into believing that he wasn't paying child support or anything and she did remarry very well - she was made to shop at thrift stores

I know he paid and paid well - I kept cleaning house and kept finding the check and kept filing them - his idea of looking for them was to throw things over his head and then look

I threated to tell her some home truths but he almost went into a fetal position evertime I said something

at her graduation ceremony at University of TExas her Dad and Grandmother from Denver drove down from here - she thanked her Mom for all she had done

it took me a week to get him out what had happened God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.
