First off, the Kkaki Ball was AWESOME. My hair was totally fab. Thank you Loni for doing my hair. It didn't budge at all. I actually slept on it and wore it during the day the next day. It is just too bad I won't be going next year. I will have a nursling to take care of.
Well, it has been a hard week and weekend. It starts on Friday. I, being the biggest preggo air head right now, scheduled my prenatal class (first visit before first ob) with Lizzie's doctor's appointment. MORON! Well, I had gotten kind of sick the night before and felt like I had swallowed thumb tacks that morning. I gutted throught two hours of my class with Emma and Liz in tow and then headed down the hall of the hospital to the pediatric office. Lizzie is offically going through puberty. Yippee... She was also put back on Adderal for her ADHD. I am really tickled with that. Lizzie is happy too. She knows she is struggling with it all. Well, after waiting in the pharmacy for about 15 minutes (worth not paying a dime for our meds) and going back to the OB to schedule my first appointment (I had to leave the class a little early for Lizzie's appointment. OH first ultrasound is on THURSDAY!), I really felt rank. I passed one of my girls' parents at the hospital and didn't even recognize him. I came home and thought I was going to die. I ate, picked up the other kids from school and took a nap. I went to bed sick, praying that I was better by morning for our Junior Jam prep. Lo and behold, God blessed me with being better! I still had a slight stomach ache but wasn't feeling sick or had to sit on the toilet for hours.
Our camp trip went great. The whole point of the weekend was to learn camping skills to go toward our Junior Jam this Spring. ( I will be 2 weeks away from my due date when we go) We learned to cook, use a compass, pitch tents, lash, tie knots and make fire. Posted is a pic of Lizzie with her fire she made all by herself! We also got to see a snake up close. No gators this weekend. Too cold I think. We also did a night hike to the DOLL HOUSE. The doll house is a small play house that has antique dolls inside. They are all really creepy looking. There are stories of the dolls moving and a little girl bleeding to death inside. All not true.
The one issue I had with the girls was with our tents. We have two HUGE tents. One is an eight man tent. We had seven girls in that tent. In our bigger tent, a cabin tent with a changing room, we had five girls. We all agreed that we would keep everyones gear in the changing room. Well, one specific girl didn't like it. She was our main trouble maker. The girls in the first tent claim that she went in their tent, messed everything up and took out a necklace from another girl from her bag and placed it neatly on the outside. It was all hearsay but I think there was some facts behind it. The girl with the necklace got yelled at for not putting it up when she did and didn't tell anyone about it. My co leader has rubbed a lot of the girls the wrong way. Two sisters tend to respond with disrespect toward her because they are not shown any respect from her, in their eyes. I tried to explain to them that she is just hard on the outside and good inside but the more she is hard on these girls, the more disrespectful they get. I spoke with the older girl about it but my co leader pushes too hard.
This one girl that was our trouble child happens to be the co leader's daughter. This girl was just an animal all weekend. She got worse and worse. My the time this morning rolled around, it was too much. She took up the changing room so the others couldn't get in, she ran around naked and declaring it to the world in the changing room and ultimately kept our girls from being on time. Of course Lizzie was last and was hollered at to get out in her jammies, a T-shirt and shorts. It was in the 60's. I stomped that one fast. OH! The worst was she was 'not feeling good' and wanted to go to bed. She threw a big fit, put on her jammies which are long (we just learned NOT to wear anything like this around the fire) to make smores after her mom said no matter what, she wouldn't get any. She whined the next day and after I said I was having my kids wash my car, she whined and pitched a fit when her mom told her she wasn't going to wash their car. I need to talk with my co leader and have a discussion about the behavior I saw this weekend. Between the catty gossip and our drama queen, we just need to gut through it and get us past it. I need to get a hard nose, tell my co leader how they feel and myself and get us back on track!
Well, other than our drama it went well. We had a first timer out there that kind of freaked when it got dark. She was going to sleep with us in our cabin and at the last minute decided to sleep in the tent. Midnight exactly, she was at our door. It was so frigging cold!!! I had to get up and move my stuff off the cot at my head and then walk down to the bathroom on the other side of camp. THANK YOU GOD for giving me a sweet sleeping bag. I bought it 3 years ago, $45 Eddie Bauer 30 degree sleeping bag, and actually got hot in the morning. Too cold to uncover but too hot to stay all zipped up. It was awesome! My van was so packed...can't wait for my 'Burban next year~!
