Happy camper

I am so tired. I fell asleep on my keyboard. I have 65 daycamp kids. For the most part they are wonderful. The new ones and the regulars. If it weren't for them I'd be totally loosing it. I'm pulling ten hour days on average.

I understand that its strange and awkward working with someone who is supposed to be your supervisor who is also your peer. But every comment does not need to be an attack. Not every minor incident is the end of the world. Breathe, relax, the kids are smiling. Parents are happy. The world still spins for all we know. We're all learning together. Why does it have to be difficult? Life isn't as hard as you make it out to be. In short, we as a group need to work on communication. Or maybe manners. Maybe it's the same thing.

And despite the stress I still have the best job in the world. When you have a genuine conversation with a kid who is going through a tough time and they tell you how much they like camp it makes it worth it. When you are hugged and thanked and you hears screams of, "I don't want to go home!" Then you know there is something worthwhile left for you to do everyday and though small, it matters.

But now I'm bored and still tired and no one is here. I don't feel like watching a movie alone... I don't feel like doing much of anything alone.
