Day 20

My kids are back from camp. I asked my son what he did last night. He said "We watched 'The Hangover' "...the irony is not lost there but he's 13! as I remember, that movie is full of swearing and mature themes. The topper is that he was at a religious camp. Really? 'The Hangover' guys? I paid $2,800 for a 2-week camp which culminated in a movie about men going to Las Vegas for a bachelor party? Thanks. Not a huge deal but I really don't take him to R-rated movies...only PG-13.

My 4-yr-old has a playdate after her camp tomorrow. When I told my daughter she was so excited and said "Mommy, I've never had a playdate at anyone's house before."

My daughter has a playdate because I am present. Well, in fairness, playdates have been really hard with her having a brother who is a competitive tennis player, and a sister whose does a lot of plays. It's been really hard juggling their crazy schedules but I could have made more of an effort.

So the day is over, life is good, things I say are worthy and have value, my skin is clear, my eyes are bright and I can't go back now...

Congratulations! That is amazing, I hope to reach 20 days. How strange they played the Hangover??? That is not appropriate for kids and definitely not at a religious camp! Good luck with the playdate, enjoy your time with your daughter. I'm really bad at scheduling those for my kids too, though I did take them to the park last night!

Wtf! I'd be pissed. That's super expensive, you'd think they would make better choices about what they let the kids watch!

Anyway, congrats!! You've done SO great! Looking forward to catching up with you I bet your happy to have your babies back, I know you missed them!

20 days is awesome. Sober is so much better. You are doing great. I would be not happy with the choice of the movie either. At least your son is open and honest with you so you know what goes on. That is great.
