Amanda Returns From Camp

I'm back from camp with the fifth graders. They were so good this year! This is the second year that I have been able to go because I only go to be a substitute. We had a lot of sick kids though:( We each take a night sleeping in the cabin with the kids, and the night that I stayed over, there was a night sweat/ stomachache girl at 10:00 PM. At 1:00 AM, a girl woke me up crying with a headache (where I took a brisk nighttime stroll to the teacher cabin to get some Advil for her . . . who doesn't enjoy waking up from a dead sleep to walk in the cold night air?) The icing on the cake was a councilor waking me up at 4:00 AM telling me one of the girls threw up three times. That turned into a two hour comforting session! I decided that I might just be too lazy to be a mom (lol)! I mean, I really like sleep . . . a lot:)

We came back around 12:00 PM today and I stayed at my friend Megan's house until about 4:00 because today was the 100th birthday celebration for Pataskala school. The kids sang a few songs and there was a dedication for a historical marker for the building. It was pretty cool!

Now I am going to lay in a bed that is more than a wooden board for longer than a few, interrupted hours:)
