Jackson very rudely woke me up at 7:30 this morning on one of my precious days to sleep in, which left me angry and slightly depressed. So I took the kids to the beach. It was far from beach weather, so we just went for a walk, but it felt so good to be near the ocean. Winds were gusting to 30mph and it was chilly, but that meant there was more beach for us. There was hardly anyone else there. I’m so glad I followed that whim.

Robin had an adventurous first day at camp. She was to spend the morning at the beach volleyball court and then take a bus to the main campus for lunch and afternoon activities. I am SURE I told her this, but she says she didn’t know she was supposed to get on the bus. No one checked to make sure everyone who was registered had gotten on the bus, and it left without her. First of all, wtf is that?? How do they not check these things? Luckily she had her phone and I talked to the coach and he took her over himself. But then she got caught in a thunderstorm between the cafeteria and the main building and spent the rest of the day soaked while watching Wall-E with a bunch of little kids. Apparently none of the older kids stayed for the full day. Somehow despite all this, she only came home moderately miserable and still wants to go back. Good on her.

The highlight of my day so far is cooking dinner, which honestly wasn’t that exciting. Ground beef and cumin mixed with brown rice and a Greek yogurt/cucumber mixture. It was good, but of course no one wanted the yogurt except me. I am so bored today.

Friday… my easy day, when I only have to take one kid to two dance classes and that’s it. I learned that my bacon burger and fries at Chili’s last night was 50 Weight Watchers points. Worth every point. And I spent three hours conquering Excel for no good reason other than in my heart, I needed the win. I’m happy it’s not raining.

Did a little shopping for Christina for our upcoming trip. It looks like it will be a little chilly in Maine, so we had to get her some long pants and long-sleeve shirts. She got cute stuff. Watched the Yankees lose bad. Finished rereading all the Harry Potter books. Now what?

We finally won the Harry Potter game today! So exciting. I actually can’t remember a single other thing that happened today. That’s how epic that win was.
