Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Brought my Batman bear to b'fast this morning because it was late sleep and jim-jam brunch. Jim-jams are your pjs, by the way. The boys and I call them that.

Got to do two glorious dock jumps for no reason whatsoever other than it was HOT today--and I have a standing Gary Brown invite to jump off the dock whenever I want, even if no one is down there, just as long as I wear a lifejacket. Of course I'm going to wear a lifejacket...I can't swim with only one arm that well and with the lifejacket I bob really well. Gil ducktaped my baggie over my splint this time. It still got wet. Oh well.

Finished my JCSD stuff--game and things I needed to put together. Will tell you the theme on the actual day.

Watched the fireworks tonight and wasn't that homesick, considering this is my worst night at camp. I sooooo want to be home with my family right now, watching fireworks with my babies, cuddling my Kamo.

Just one more day and then the girls go to Dorney and I get a day off!

Birthday Dock Jump 2010!

Yay! Birthday Dock Jump 2010! My favorite part of being at camp for my birthday.

Notice the baggie over my splint.

It was cold this morning! The water was warm, but there was a definite breeze.

Pics: What I Have Been Up To

Staff Olympics! Wearing a toga is just not the same when you have a splint. :(

Blindfolded for that trust-game. Ridiculous. At least my wrist was ok then.

Pointing at fireworks for my 4th of July skit with Christine. I really dug my socks.

Torture!

Took a couple girls on a play-date to the Aqua jump today and could not go in the water! It was awful! Next time I am bringing a baggie and a rubber band to keep my splint dry so that I can actually go in. I think with the splint I can handle it--without it, no way. It feels like it is going to fall in two if I don't wear my splint.

Ok, off to a meeting.

Peace.

Honeymoon What?

There is no way this was the first full day of camp. Firstly, the girls act like they've never left--there is absolutely no honeymoon period whatsoever. At least not for the Upper Juniors. I have launched into it already.
And I am tired and I smell bad.
I went to gym tryouts and sat with Bill, who proceeded to say that my wrist was broken at least 3 times. I told him it isn't and he said that we don't know that for sure. Well, we don't know that it is, either! I do have the number for an orthopedic Dr. that I will be calling later, so I will keep you updated on that.
I smell. Did I mention that? SOOOO humid today.
Sat OD until after 11 last night and had zero criers. Hoping that tonight will be just as quiet and maybe I'll get to go at 10:30 instead.
Really want to jump off the dock but am unsure about if that will be the best thing for the wrist. Dancing with the staff tonight!

Camp Is Beginning

Yay! Camp starts today!
Staff camp is over, which is sad, but real camp starts.
And here we go...

Leftie and Other Impressions

I am a leftie for a little while and have decided to make it a positive experience for me. I am going to be the best leftie ever for the time that I am one. I am already very good at eating left-handed and because of prior tooth-brushing practice I am already pretty good at that with my left.
I also decided that the sling was bringing me down, emotionally, so I have adiosed it. Considering as how yesterday was the first time in 5 summers that I have wanted to go home, I knew something wasn't right. This morning it hit me. The sling! It makes me feel even worse about the situation and I can't use that arm AT ALL, not even for little things. And it, at least in my own mind, makes me feel like the broken thing is already true and we don't know that for sure.
So no more sling! And today has gone much better already.
Plus I can feel my fingers much better and they aren't swollen today for the first time.
