Glad you got this one in today, . Have fun today.**----- Reply message -----To: <exercisevideos >Subject: High Step Training Upper Body PremixDate: Mon, Oct 24, 2011 8:53 am Did the w/u and c/d and the premix today. Very good stuff except the stretch definitely favored lower body without much for upper and it moved fast from exercise to exercise so I had to pause it a lot to write down weights or grab the right ones. I did some stretching after on my own. I want to do the whole workout again soon too. I'm off in a few minutes to chaperone at 5th grade camp with Miriam. She's staying there tonight and Tuesday, coming home Wednesday late morning. I'm helping out all day today so I'm sure to get more exercise in just hiking through the woods from one activity to another.

Thanks, !

I got back from camp at about 6 and did dinner with the big kid and hubby. I'm missing Miriam though and feeling mixed. She's at a new school with no one in her class she was friends with before. All the 5th graders in our district move from different elementary schools to one 5th and 6th grade building and she was hoping to be with some friends but she was put in the gifted program for the first time and none of her friends were so she's trying to get to know people. She does know a couple of kids from her old school but they are boys. She had to have a buddy for camp and the one girl she'd been getting to be friends with in her class chose someone else to be her buddy so Miriam was matched up with someone she barely knew. Anyway, she doesn't know anyone in her travel group or cabin either and was very clingy with me all day today. I got to know all the kids in the group and I thought they were all teriffic. One girl took a lot of interest in her and was buddying up to both of us so hopefully they will hang together the rest of camp. She really wanted me to stay tonight and through the rest of camp (I pick her up Wednesday at 11 AM) but I have to work and I truly think it is in her best interest to make the best of it and try to get to know the other kids more. If I were to have stayed she would never have done that. I remember working many years as a camp counselor myself and always told parents to give the kids a big hug and a promise to be back to get them at the end and then walk out the door without looking back. I always reassured them their kids would be fine within a few minutes and if they weren't we'd call them. I could reassure them because 99% of the time the kids did great as soon as the parents were gone. The kids who were not okay were always the ones whose parents extended the goodbyes and were hesitant to leave. I hugged her goodbye and left and then prayed all the way home that she'd be okay. I am continually trying to remind myself of that tonight. She seemed so vulnerable. I think she'll be okay, I sure hope so.

On a quick fitness note though... yes, we certainly walked a lot (not enough to burn off the crappy camp food though) but I also got a chance to participate in archery with the kids. I did better than a boy in the group that bow hunts deer!! I did archery at camp when I was a kid and have done it a couple of times since but that's it but I seem to be pretty natural with it. I hit the target with all 5 arrows I shot and one was dead in the middle. The counselor teaching it told me I was the best chaperone of the day (and ours was the last group of the day)! It was pretty cool!!

but she was put in the gifted program for the first time and none of her friends were so she's trying to get to know people. She does know a couple of kids from her old school but they are boys.

That's great that she's gifted in that way. I can understand what she's going through not having any friends. Hopefully by the time you get her she'll tell you all about her and her friend having so much fun. )

It is, and I'm proud of her, but I'm having mom guilt for wanting her in it now that she's struggling a bit socially (from her perspective she is, I don't think the teachers see that though). She looked so miserable when I left yesterday that I slept with the phone in my room just in case there was a homesick call. They would only be allowed to call home in extreme cases and, since it is after 7 AM now and they should be waking up soon, apparently she was fine. I hope you're right that I'll pick her up yesterday to all smiles. I'll let you know Wednesday. Thanks, .

Let us know how it went when you pick her up - I'll bet it was all good! I'm the same way though , I worry about my DD when she is in a new situation and doesn't know any of the kids there. This year's summer camps were like that, but she did really well w/ it.
