I hope mine are half as neat when they are teens. <BR/><BR/>Please post sometime, if you can, and let us know how working at Camp M was for them. Mine are fascinated by the prospect of working there.the Drunken Housewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-14225657865583858882008-06-26T11:04:00.000-07:002008-06-26T11:04:00.000-07:00Thanks.

My Iris Uber Alles is the alpha vegetarian in the home; she outranks me in vigilance and energy. <BR/><BR/>If my children want to eat meat, they may, but they emulate their mother. <BR/><BR/>My parents didn't have a television for years, hit me, and had an extreme religious point of view (I hated family laying-on-of-hands and faith healing as a child). I have all sorts of issues from that. My kids will have issues around my vegetarianism, the fact that we send them to a uniform-requiring school, and Lord only knows what else.the Drunken Housewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-2862541223989484282008-06-13T09:16:00.000-07:002008-06-13T09:16:00.000-07:00I initially got sympathy hives at the thought of spending a week camping, but Camp Mather actually sounds like fun. I'm all for camping as long as it doesn't involve sleeping on the ground or cooking over a camp stove in the rain, like we had to on our last trip.hokgardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971689914882302078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-57979716673482124312008-06-12T17:28:00.000-07:002008-06-12T17:28:00.000-07:00um, no. it was (yet another) commenter who doesn't regularly read this blog and know that the kids CHOOSE to eat veggie. <BR/><BR/>and the elegant tapas the DH makes are hardly a "weird hippy diet".hughmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09995638646423120399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-91501454118736911762008-06-12T15:35:00.000-07:002008-06-12T15:35:00.000-07:00Ah, the levels of irony.

My mom tried to make me a vegetarian when I was a kid and it gave me this weird reaction to meat. Fortunately I managed to triumph over that little disability, and now I eat cow like it's going out of style.<BR/><BR/>Moral of the story: Don't make your kids eat some weird hippie diet, they'll just resent you for it when they get older. I certainly do.Nickname unavailablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11045183237623858887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-36222462858180042702008-06-12T08:15:00.000-07:002008-06-12T08:15:00.000-07:00I love your camp mather reports :)Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18123413735523666081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-29775170234420151232008-06-11T22:29:00.000-07:002008-06-11T22:29:00.000-07:00Okay. I love your bike. I want to steal your bike. Just so you know. <BR/><BR/>I read "Stiff" by Mary Roach, is "Bonk" good? I didn't know she had any other books out! <BR/><BR/>Does this count as your bear incident or should we be on the watch for more bear goodness? <BR/><BR/>Finally: love the cabin lights. LOVE them.Captain Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11922101498348137121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-56844655091243532752008-06-11T21:08:00.000-07:002008-06-11T21:08:00.000-07:00What a perfect family vacation. Lots of memories, exhausted mother, last minute crises. (or is that crisis?) <BR/><BR/>I'd be upset about the vegetarian meals running short, too. If that's what you ordered, you should get it. Period. Mr. Texzmissy would've had a full blown fit which would not be pretty or pleasant for anyone. <BR/><BR/>How did the bike work out? How's the homecoming?Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00571974304103698871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-81082779605632205102008-06-11T17:41:00.000-07:002008-06-11T17:41:00.000-07:00What an incredibly exhausting "vacation."<BR/><BR/>I suggest you pick up smoking a pipe.
