It was so peaceful with dd gone

12yo dd was off at youth camp all week, and this has been our most peaceful week at home in a loooooong time! She came home late last night, and the complaints, noise, fights, have already started. Besides not having to deal with her many moods, she also wasn't here to pick fights with the other siblings, so those problems were reduced, too, all week. Dd had a GREAT time at camp, and her behaviors are almost always in check in a setting like that, so it was good for her AND good for us. It's just too bad camp didn't last longer! (We love dd, don't get me wrong, but it was sure a nice break.)
