Camp

Mama,

Camp started this week for Dani and Alex. We mailed out their thank you cards for the scholarships this morning. There was a big fight about that because Alex thought they were supposed to get done before starting camp and Dani thought that was retarded - that you should thank them after you've started so you can explain why you appreciate it so much. It never occured to them to send each card whenever they wanted. Aunt Elaine pointed out they're not conjoined twins but they act like it sometimes.

There was a mad scramble last weekend because I'd thought there was a week off between school and camp but I was wrong. Camp has screwed everything up. There is almost no food left for this week - since yesterday. We have three chix nuggets left, and less than half a cup of milk. There are two pieces of bread left. Dinner is going to be very, very weird.

Aunt Elaine told me this morning we always eat more in the summer but I don't remember that. She said it's because Dani and Alex want to take snacks for the bus ride to and from camp. This is bullshit. I ate three strawberries for dinner last night because I thought we were ALL running out. Camp gives them ice cream at the end of every day for a snack. They don't need fucking bus snacks ALSO. I'm not going to skip dinners so they can have fucking snacks. On Sunday I am not going to buy ANY snack foods for the bus trip. I don't care that it's long and they get hungry and everyone else has a snack from home. Suck it up. I am really, really angry about this. I called Craig and left him a big voicemail.

Aunt Elaine gave me $20 to get us towels for summer, and I found a coupon so now we all have a new one. I figure I can use one of Wendy's towels when I have to take her kid to the pool, but in case somebody's gets stolen or is too wet for the next day, now we have an extra.

Josh gets back very late Saturday night. It feels like he's been gone for over a month. His parents throw a huge July 4th party every year. I asked if that's bigger than their regular summer weekend parties and Josh said yes. I can't imagine because I've gone to the weekend parties and those seem pretty awesome.

I am hungry,
Love,
Sam
