a little hole in my heart...

this week has been the first week for me to work at st. george's without michael. he is not attending this week of summer camp, so it has been a preview for me as to what it may be like without him next year. 

and it has been dreadfully boring. i have been bored. felt unfulfilled. and at times lonely. i knew he made my life special, i guess i just didn't realize just how much. thankfully for the next three weeks he will be at camp. 

it really is amazing just how big of an impact a 7 year old has had on me. he has made my life great.

but... today at camp we had a lady come and show her animals to the children. of course, being the animal lover that i am, i was quite excited to see them as well. she let the children pet them and hold some of the animals. i even decided to be brave enough to pet a tarantula. it was surprisingly soft, as odd as that may sound... 

so yes. that is all friends.
