Running

What a day. I feel like I ran a marathon. I feel awesome actually.

Sometimes these days, I make it through the whole day without doing much. I answer emails and help out here and there, but it's not like the days before kids when I ran from one thing to the next from the moment I woke up until late at night. Today was a running day. And I loved it.

I spent the morning on the phone. We have some super needy parents of campers in the coming weeks and I talked to a few of them this morning. Then two counselors came to talk to me about another counselor who is difficult to work with and how much that is stressing them out.

I spent a long time on the phone with multiple kitchen equipment stores, learning about commercial ovens and trying to find one to buy. I need it ASAP, but also, I have NO money. Finding a cheap oven quickly is not going to be easy.

At rest time, M and I met with the counselor who is being difficult. She doesn't feel like she fits in. It was an hour long conversation and I hope it helped, but I think we will need to talk with her again.

A little boy has poison ivy on his face. So M and I spent the day going back and forth over whether to take him to urgent care or not, and trying to help him feel better.

A teen leader got mad and stormed off, so I met with her and then with her counselor.

I lifeguarded swimming class.

In between all of these things, I answered a million phone calls, emails, nursed my baby several times and tried to spend as much time as possible with a (VERY CRABBY TODAY) toddler.

I found myself running from one thing to the next. And while I never quite felt like I caught up and I was exhausted, it felt good to be useful and so fun to be in the center of the chaos of camp life.
