Here we go . . .

So tomorrow I start something I totally wasn't expecting to ever take on . . . Girl Scout Day Camp!

A couple of years ago Kid #2 went and she had a blast! My friend, and Co-leader in crime Erica, had helped out and told me all the great things they did.

Last year, because of schedule conflicts, neither Erica or I (or our daughters) participated. Since we had survived our 1st year as Junior GS's I figured, what the heck . . . I'll run a unit!

What the hell was I thinking?

As I've stated in past posts, I was suffering from can't-say-no-itis this past school year, and unfortunately it spilled into the summer.

I'm trying really hard to be all excited and stuff about this, but honestly, I'm not.

Now I'll admit that due to my overly-anxious nature, I have a tendancy to look at situations half-empty if they're out of my comfort zone. (ie - Going to Cancun last year, starting work again after 6 1/2 years out of the work force, etc.) So there's a part of me that knows that my feelings are just par for the course . . .

But it doesn't make getting on the horse any easier.

The good news is I went from a unit of 13 girls to 10 girls. I think someone upstairs saw my situation and said, "I need to make this a little easier for her." The bad news is, on Wed. and Thurs. nights, we're camping at the site.

And as much as I wish I was a camping person (or that I had the skills), I'm not. Luckily for me, Erica is and that will also help.

On top of that, Hubby left this morning with Kid #1 for Boy Scout Camp. Hubby will be back on Wednesday, and Kid #1 won't be back until next Saturday.

What really stinks about that is not only will I miss them both terribly . . . but I'll have even less time to write (glad I got another 800 words in yesterday - but it looks like my deadline isn't going to be met!)

It's going to be a long and interesting week!
