The Warrior Mom’s Summer Scenario

I like summer. The weather, the outdoor planting. Swimming and sitting under my new gazebo. I like the warm mornings, the birds singing and the hot runs that end in a great jump in my pool. Anna loves the outdoors, the runs, the ease of going anywhere. No big coats to wrap around her and smash in her wheelchair. Certain parts of summer are wonderful, but the routine, not so much!

What I do not like. It’s CHAOTIC. I have to think every day, what day is it? What am I doing? Where is Anna going? Is this how it feels to be completely retired? Yuck. I am READY FOR THE SEPTEMBER ROUTINE! Yes I am.

But first our trip to Kammy’s Kause in Fortville, Indiana. I’ve blogged about this before. A trip that I look forward to every year. I trip that I feel is for Anna and the whole support group. We camp because of this trip, we have become close to families because of this trip. I am changed because of this trip.

We will leave Friday morning and arrive four hours later or about at Mystic Waters Campground. I will be camping near other families and we will have two great days of support and fundraising for our group. We always get t-shirts and we always come away feeling so thrilled that there are strangers out there that want to support our group. And they learn about Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome. I will be blogging about this trip, stay tuned.
