THREE!
That is how many more days of freedom I have before Summer Vacation rears it's ugly head.
Which can only mean one thing. The return of...
Camp Mama!
Yes, Camp Mama, that time of year when Jude's friends all head off to one fancy-schmancy summer camp or another, while Jude hangs out in our grass-free backyard and our "pool" with me as his Camp Counselor.
But here's my question for y'all...and I'm not even sure if I really want to do this or not...but if I was to come up with a cute button, and some kind of Mister Linky dohicky, would anybody else want to join in and open their own branch of Camp Mama? I'd post on either Mondays or Wednesdays. Let me know if you're in, and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Yet another subversively hilarious website courtesy of my friend Amanda. Suri's Burn Book - an expose of Hollywood's golden babies, penned by Miss Suri Cruise...
Of course, it's not REALLY penned by Suri herself, but by super snarky DC writer Allie Hagan. But I like to imagine that little Suri herself is posting it from her iPad, alone in her fabulously decorated boudoir, late at night after she's put up her high heels.

WARNING! BEWARE! THE FOLLOWING PICTURE MAY BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE TO SOME ANIMAL LOVERS. OR THEY MIGHT FIND THEMSELVES GIGGLING GUILTILY LIKE I DID.
When Dutch artist Bart Jansen's cat, Orville Wright, was hit by a car and killed, Bart decided to take the concept of repurposing just a tad too far. As a fitting end to a cat named after one of the Wright brothers, he stuffed Orville, and turned him into a radio controlled helicopter. Oh yes he did.

Alrighty, I'm off to try to come up with some ideas of how to entertain my child for the next three months. Or maybe I'll just fix myself a cocktail and play computer games.
Y'all go visit Stacy. And let me know if you're interested in the Camp Mama thing. I won't be offended if you're not.
My eyes! I think I'll be forever scarred by that necklace and if that didn't do it the flying cat would have.
I'd join the Camp Mama fun but I've got no kids at home.

In this case? Size *does* matter. Ahem.
What about Thursdays for Camp Mama? But Mondays or Wednesdays would be OK, too - I could work it in. ;) So yes, you can count me in on that. Princess Nagger has (thankfully) declined doing any sort of summer or day camp mode this year. Though that 'thankfully' may change as the summer goes on... ;)
I still can't get past the fact that Suri is wearing heels...WUWT??
OMG that stuffed radio controlled cat is creeeeeeepy!!!

Well, I was going to say something snarky about people who let six-year-old children wear HIGH HEELS, but that cat has me too simultaneously appalled/rolling with laughter.
And that necklace? No, you're not the only one seeing it. Nope.

I stumbled upon Suri's burnbook last week and had a few good laughs. And um, that is NOT a necklace!

The "flower" necklace--It's not the size, it's how you use it!
I'd do Camp Mama, but it would be limited to weekends and well, I'm not quite that organized. I did find a Phineas and Ferb calendar that had summer vacation ideas on it--I printed it off and it's hanging in Turbo's room. The first time he says he's bored we are sending him to pick an idea off it to do.

We'll be having some sort of Camp Mama here. I really should have thought more about it, since school's out for summer in an hour.CRAP.

I thought, "why is she posting a photo of penis's on a vine. What a weird thing to vine?" How does someone make that and not see a penis?? And then sell it for $38? ACK!!!

Oh. My. God. That necklace is too much...awful!
Posted by: Alaina | 06/05/2012 at 09:43 AM
that is the ugliest penis necklace ever. lol. and I must say that the 'flowers' were not made well enough and that's why they look like penises and not 'flowers." It's amazing that someone thought that their 'handiwork' (and I use that term for lack of another) is adequate. I wonder if she actually sold any. yikes.

Ohhhh and I never sent my kids to camp. In my mind summer was for fun and frolic and being with your mama doing fun things. Yes, of course, there were times when I thought , "gee I wish I sent them to camp"... especially around the middle of August.(lol) but sometimes I think parents just send kids so that they do not have to deal with them in the summer. and that's just my humble opinion.

I'd do Camp Mama...if I was a mama whose kids didn't camp. Sadly, unless you want to hear me cry about how I don't want to work, don't like my job, and am missing out on the summer w/my kids, I amy not be who you're seeking. I could participate as a weekender, though.

The cat.
That is all.
(BWAHAHAHAHA!!!)

Oh, thats actually perfect for Camp Mama. You can complain about not being with your kids and I whine about BEING with my child! Ill post something next week and youll get the idea.

That cat thing is awful. Poor kitty.

Those "flowers" are horrible. And the cat helicopter is ridiculous. Where do you find these things?! :)
