Camps and Summer Stuff

We are almost finished with our summer camps. Drew enjoyed Duke, UNC and the Hill Center while Mariah attended Camp Riverlea.
Mariah attended camp for 2 weeks and I had to take her every morning due to the fact that she did not want to get on the bus much less go to camp. I found it to be a battle every single morning until today and she was celebrating that it was the next to last day. I struggle with this child and question how much I should push or not. I drove out to camp this afternoon to pick her up and she was having a blast so I am pleased I stuck to my guns with the Daffron motto that we finish what we start.....
I have been spending lots of time reading this summer and have enjoy lots of great books but have missed physical activity I need to_________ ?????Just get off my butt and move. I have a birthday coming on Monday and plan to do something physical starting then and keep it up as a regular routine. On a side note does it count that I have been cleaning and keeping up with the laundry and have had zero maid service since arriving in the states. Lets say yes.
We are having a yard sale on Saturday and I hope to unload a lot of crap, I also want to not bring the crap back inside my garage or house so I think the idea would be to price it so that we sale it.
The time is going so quickly and we will be leaving for the DR soon like AUG5. I have so mixed feelings and thoughts but really want to make the best of the next year. I am committing to take Spanish class, join a gym or walk the hills of our neighborhood and do some community service with the kids. I also want to blog more and really post lots more often.
Doug has been away this week and will return home late tonight so I am going to finish some house stuff. Happy thoughts to all!!!!
