Looking Forward To A. Coming Home

A. is coming home tomorrow! Me and my husband both have made comments about the quietness around here. But we have also both admitted that we miss A. We will be picking her up around 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. She was a basket case a whole week before camp started and I imagine she will be a basket case for at least a week after she gets home. There are so few things in her life that really make her extra happy so I am glad that this camp works for her each summer. She almost did not get to go because they were already full by the time our case worker got around to calling. But I was able to get in touch personally with a member of the camp staff and ask if there was any way A. could still attend. Everybody there remembered A. and shuffled things around so that A. was able to attend by being a jr. counselor in training! This is right up A.'s alley! She is a natural "mother" to any younger child and will make a great counselor. She intends to continue going each summer and wants to become a full counselor so she can help other foster kids like herself. That would be wonderful for her self-esteem!

Does anybody else get comments from the rest of their family that they spend too much time at the computer? I am totally new to computers and blogging and I spend every free moment that I have looking things up, posting comments, reading about what brings traffic to your site, trying out the different types of ads that are available to put on my site. For the first few weeks I suppose I probably was on the computer for the better part of each day. But now I only sit down for a moment, many times a day, to check one thing or another out. How else will I learn what I need to know? Anyway, I really enjoy working on this site and I hope to create a couple more once I understand everything that I feel is most important to know.
