I haven’t taken the time to write in the last few days. We went camping as a family which I was forced to do against my own will.

I’m still in the middle of my project painting and organizing my craft room. When I’m in the middle of a project, I want to keep going until I get it done. I don’t want to stop to do other things because I don’t want to lose momentum. Getting ready to go camping alone takes lots of time besides going away from my house which is somewhat clean, has a nice comfy bed, and warm, running water. Camping was just interrupting my schedule so I had Dandy Dancer and Tumbleweed get the family ready to go camping. They made the shopping list. I sent them to the store with a fistful of dollars. They got the little kids packed and made some treats. I’m sure that if they hadn’t done this, we would not have gone camping.

The family had a wonderful time. I didn’t sleep much. Every time the wind blew and knocked something over that we had left out, I woke up.

I was able to get some fun shots of the kids playing in the river. Ninja Boy didn’t want to get wet, just his feet, but, so sad, he fell in face first. It was a traumatic experience for him. I had to suppress my laugh while I was taking pictures. One of my kids inevitable falls into the water and is so sad about.

My craft room is almost done. I have way too much crap! What do I do with it? I have a bigger stash of supplies for the kids to use up and basically, waste. The charity pile is big. And there is still too much! I’m making cards for the service day camp that my friends and I are doing to gather for our girls. I hope that will eliminate a lot of stuff and for a good cause.
