Sleep Away Camp Disorder (SACD)
OK.
I sleep like a log. I’m good in a crisis. I don’t get rattled easily. I’m generally pretty laid back.
But…I’m having a really hard time relaxing about Chuckles going off to camp. Every now and again I’ve been having mini panic attacks. Just like when you lose your wallet and five minutes later you find it…but for that whole 5 minutes you were worried sick.
And at night…I can’t sleep. I get the lost my wallet feeling even at night.
I don’t know if we are going to make it.
It’s only two weeks. It’s going to be the longest two weeks of our lives.
We were at the Japanese restaurant tonight and suddenly Speed burst into tears.
“I’m going to miss you, Chuckles!”
“I couldn’t possibly last a minute while you’re at camp!”
Chuckles held him as his tears rolled onto her shoulder.
“You’ll be OK, Speed. You’ll have a big job to do. You’ll have to look after Mummy and Papa for me.”
