the last week of camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final week of camp! Sadly though I am with the Kinders all week doing “Down on the Farm” camp. On Monday I went in at 9 am and there were only 13 Kinders for all five of us staff members. Because of the large number of staff and small amount of kids, I only worked a few hours in the morning, got a four hour break, and then worked a few more hours in the afternoon. The day went by pretty fast and nothing too exciting happened. It was another training holiday and that’s why there weren’t too many kids. But that afternoon I did find out that I will be going to the away camp on Wednesday and therefore I am really excited.

Today I had the 5:30 am shift so that I would have the right shift an not have to work over 12 hours tomorrow when I go to the away camp. Man was it dark and cold this morning and so hard to get up. One again I count my blessings for my childhood life because when I got there at 5:30 am and the director wasn’t even there yet to open the center, a parent and kid were already waiting so he could be dropped off. I mean no wonder that child ends up having behavior issues in the afternoon… he gets there before 5:30 in the morning! And today I didn’t even get to go on the Dairy Farm field trip with the kids that I was actually excited about! Instead I had to go cover someone at the CDC again and I was with the toddlers. Seriously, that age group scares me. the CDC in general scares me. I have no idea how I am ever going to have my own child but I definitely can’t work with anyone younger than the age of six. No joke I was so uncomfortable I wanted to cry! Then when I got back I only had to work one more hour and then I was free!

This lack of sleep and unhealthy diet issue is really getting in my way! I am just tired, drained, and sore all the time and it prevents a good workout! Instead I have been sleeping and on the internet since I got off….

Tonight we are going bowling to have one more big bonding time together before Abby has to leave on Thursday. I think it will definitely be fun and I’m really excited.

I don’t know how much I will actually keep up with my blog this week since I will be packing, cleaning, and not doing too many exciting things. So my break down for the week is this:

Tomorrow I am going to the away camp and I will basically be there all day and night. I leave for the camp at 7 am and then I work in ratio until about 5pm. Then I am staying there for the family night BBQ to get one last time to say bye to all my 1^st through 5^th graders as well as say goodbye to the staff for the summer.

Thursday I am going to breakfast in the morning at the DFAC again for one final amazing hot breakfast for really cheap. It is also field trip day with the Kinders and I am pretty sure we are going to a Ranch and horseback riding. That should be pretty cool and I will make sure to get lots of pictures (but I can’t post them if the kids are in them). That night I think we are trying to have a bonfire or some sort of fun activity since it will be our last night in the barracks.

Friday I go into work at 9 am and then at some point I will be pulled out by my POC to come do a final room check and get our stuff. I then go back to work until 1 pm and then we leave for Nurmberg for a hotel for the rest of the night (where we won’t actually sleep) and at 4 am Saturday we will be at the airport to come home. Friday is also PJ Party day at the center so thankfully I wont have to wear my hideous uniform on my last day.

The week seems to look like it will go by pretty fast as I write it down and I hope that it does. I am ready to come home and I can’t wait to see all my friends and family again!

I will update you if my week changes or if anything exciting happens =)
