It's Time for My Scout to Come Home

I did it!!  I cried a little.  I gave him my Haitian Prayer Angel to tuck down in his trunk, and I talked his ear off about what-if situations - but I did it.  I let him go to West Texas for a week.  No cell phones, no computers no contact (well, one e-mail from a leader letting us know they had made it through the first day and that the consensus among the boys was that it was fun, but HOT).

I did it, now it's Friday and I don't think I want to wait until tomorrow night to see him.  It's time to bring him home.  I have proven to myself that I can do it, now I want to be put out of my misery.  There are still things I would like to do with him before school starts.  Watch him as he sleeps and wonder how he and a Great Dane both fit on a twin bed.  Argue with him over getting chores done before he can disappear to a friend's house.  Take him school clothes shopping and pretend to be shocked by his choices.  Argue about him taking Cotillion classes again this year and then sit back and watch how much fun he has once they start.  Oh so many things still to be done.

The main point is - I let him go for a whole 8 days - I gave him to God and God has not let me down.  Now bring him home please.

That's all I needed say this morning.  What are the lyrics from Les Mis "One more dawn, one more day, one day more!"
