Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

I will go down in history as the first woman killed by
a group of 8 year olds.
They're killin' me I tell ya!
How many times have I said I love my job?
Many.
I do.
I love my job.
See??!! I said it again.
It's just the kids.......
Yeah, that's a bummer when you're a camp counselor.
Now, I love the kids, but they are a lot of work.
And they don't listen.
THEY DON'T LISTEN!
Those ears don't even work.
They're simply decorative, used for either earrings,
to hold up glasses or as a gauge...something for
the head to grow into.
Today I seriously contemplated getting a bottle of
wine on the way home. A bottle of wine and a straw.
However, I didn't even leave camp until 7pm, then
between running to the supermarket to pick up
$30 worth of "crap" to make candy sushi, then running
to another store for Swedish Fish, then listening
to the gross man at the gas station telling some
guy about his friend caught in the "coke sting" that
"went down" a few blocks away...I kind of forgot about the wine.
Thank God for Xanax.

Girl I don't know HOW you do it! I won't even let my 8 year old have sleep overs that involve more than one extra child in my house!

You're brave. BRAVE I tell ya!

I agree with Mark. Figure out something really great to treat yourself with with the tips. I'm thinking massage, facial...something just for you.

Haaaaaaaaaaa! I swear to God that you are living a parallel life with me sometimes!

The insane children. The crazed schedule. The stories from people who think coke stings and regular court appearances are all part of everyday life.

Love, love, love your musings!

The words "I forgot the wine" aren't in my vocabulary.

You've got way more patience than I do...

Poor Kerry!! {{{hugs}}}

I laughed out loud on the comment of the bottle of wine and a straw! I hadn't even contemplated that scenario since college days!

Was the sushi cute? Did you take pics...I know you did....right??? You have to post it....

I'll be thinking about you. Thank goodness, I only have 1 child that's 8. (although my 2 year old just did a poopie in her swimsuit in the pool....oooooohhhh, bleck!)

See....it could be worse.....

Thinking of you...

I volunteered at a camp in the craft room this summer... by the end of the day I would come home so tired. I said to my husband it drives me crazy to have my own 2 children not listen to me but to have 25 at a time it was about to drive me to violence!

Summer is almost over...
