the good, the bad, and the ugly

There is so much as I glance at the Internet today, so much swimming through my brain, and my own personal adventures as well.  The good is that I am always inspired by my friends all over the world, their lives, their stories, and their thoughts.  Yesterday my wonderful friend hung out with my kids and my husband and I went to a really fun wedding.  Such beautiful energy, happiness, and friends, I enjoyed dressing up and schmoozing, even had a margarita.

The bad is not that bad, but my kids are having a new adventure this summer, we put them into a large camp with tons of kids they don't know, and they get to go on a trip each week to fun places all over town.  The first day was yesterday, one had a breakdown in the morning but then had a great day, and the other had attitude toward the teacher in the afternoon, so no sticker for the afternoon.  The stickers really work, and today they were excited to go to Boomers, I am actually most excited that they get schlepped around to all of these high energy places, and I get to be busy with my day and not do the schlepping.

The ugly is the reports I keep seeing about the three young boys kidnapped in Israel and that the only place I heard about it other than the Internet was NPR, nothing from our government, and the reactions of children celebrating just makes me sick! http://www.israellycool.com/2014/06/17/more-palestinian-reactions-to-kidnapping-the-most-disturbing-of-all/

Please keep them in your prayers,
