Re: ice skating ... what was I thinking ?

[Guest guest]

Teri,

I know that must have been hard to let Belle go, but I think you

made the right decision. It would be so great to protect them but

then what fun would being a kid be if they couldn't do the things

they love, even if that means " pay-back " tomorrow.

I hope she has a great time...I am sure she will come home and crash

tomorrow...My guess is your not getting much sleep tonight so a nap

tomorrow might do you good as well! :-)

Blessings,

Teri,

Oh, I know just how you feel. I let go to an all night party at

his Tae Kwon Do Dojan a couple weeks ago and I was beside myself

with worry. He did pretty well. He did get sick in the early morning

hours but I think it was all the junk he ate (they did a Karate Kid

movie maration, watching all 4 movies). He totally crashed the next

day and slept until I woke him for dinner, but he had fun and that's

so important for these kids!

Hugs & Blessings,
