Back to Work...

This year I decided to take my vacation. Unusual for me as I am a certified workaholic who can't stand to be away. My son is 10 now (when did my baby turn 10) and I suddenly realized I have only a few years at best before he grows up too much and doesn't want to hang out with his Mom. It's been a great month! We went to the green mountains, got a new puppy to help heal Charlie's loss in May, saw a white alligator, went to museums, built teddy bears at the mall, ate at clam shacks and weenie wagons, walked on the beach and just generally spent time together. I hate to go back as I will miss having him around all day, but he's ready to ditch me and spend more time with his friends before he goes back to school.
