Life without Mom

This summer my mom, whose profession is a graphic designer, has been away because she has a lot of work to do away from Madison. First, she went to Rhode Island, where she sent us some cool postcards. Then she went to New York City, where I was born and she has a lot of friends. From there, she traveled to North Carolina, to work at a craft school called, Penland. (Here is a picture of Penland, in case you’re wondering =>

She worked there for more than two weeks!!! During her time at Penland, she made some beautiful and special papers.

While she was gone, I lived with my dad. We called it “men cave time.” I felt kind of sad because she was not with us, but we still managed to have some fun. For example, we went to see the movie “Finding Dory” in the opening day. We also went to Camp Randall and sat on the football field to watch the movie “Zootopia.” It was very loud, but it was thrilling. After the movie, we biked home in the dark, but before heading home, we stopped by KWIK TRIP for some nighttime snack. My dad’s friend came to visit us and he got me a awesome lego set. It had all my favorite Marvel characters such as Winter Soldier and Black Panther. I thought he was a very nice person.

After more than three weeks of pain and sadness, my mother finally returned home and spent a week with us. We went to the Madison airport to welcome her back home. I felt so emotional to see her again after such a long depart. It was fantastic to have her back. I didn’t have to go to camp so that I could spend more time with mom. She took me to the new candy store on State street called IT’S SUGAR and bought me a bunch of candy. She also got me a skateboard. It was epic. And then on the tragic fourth of July, she went away again, this time to Chicago. So now I’m back in summer camp, but she is coming back on Friday, so I guess it’s not that bad. THE END
