Oh girls camp, how do I love thee


LET ME COUNT THE WAYS...... Let me count the ways...... I'm waiting......
(Yes, this picture is of the last time we took the kids camping, yes, i am 5 months pregnant) So, i do love to camp. As long as my DH is willing to do the cooking, i love to camp. I don't mind the tent, the bugs, the dirt, the grumpy kids afterwards, or even trying to convince my oldest to pee. But this post is not about "camping" we are now going to talk "girls camp" See, i am totally excited about girls camp. You want to know what is over taking that excitement? My overwhelming feeling of being overwhelmed. I know it's part of my calling to be into this camp thing. But honestly, i just don't feel like i can pile on one more thing. Most of my problem is the fact that i can't really be there. I have a new baby. And, like last year my DH was going to take time off work so i could go. This year he is taking the next week off so he can do scout camp, and can't take anytime off for my camp. Oh, did i mention, a new baby. Even if he could take time off, what is he going to do with a 4 month old, that doesn't take a bottle. (i am so okay that she doesn't. I hate them, and prefer that they don't) Not only can i not be there, but my councilors have not told me "yes" i can or "no i can't" how do you plan with that? And my girls have not given me a yes or no. They have all been a strong MAYBE. Not only that, but i didn't even do camp when i was in YW's.
Okay. So i totally know that it will be great, and work out fine. But i am one of those people that have momentary freak outs. Tomorrow I'll wonder what i was so worried about. But today..... ahhhhhhhh.
It's cool. Even after rereading this, I'm wondering what my problem is. Thanks, i feel better already!

You are so funny, that is why you have this calling. If you weren't a little freaked out I would think there was something wrong. SO just relax and enjoy the anxiety!

I have to agree with Kristy word for word. It will be so much fun! Just keep on loving those girls, that's what it's all about.
