Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It was exhausting but amazing. The kids had a great time. They were safe except for literally a minute before the end of camp when a little girl got hit on the nose with a ball and possibly broke her nose. My dh (camp nurse) put ice on it and put a call into her mom who was already on her way in the car to pick her up to let her know that she needed to plan to have a doctor look at it. It was one of those freak things - the ball must have just hit her nose "just right". We're already planning for next year's camp. We've actually had three meetings already to discuss next year's plans. We will retain all of this year's staff (most of us have been working together for four years now) and will add a number of new staff members because we were actually a bit understaffed this year for the number of kids we had attending. Dh and another pastor baptized 8 kids this morning (with parental approval of course). Many parents came in for our camp talent show and then again for the baptism this morning. I am soooooo tired. And hot. And dirty. And sad that camp is over for another year! (As another staff member said to me, "We were just really getting into our groove!")

Liz CA Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Sounds like a rewarding experience. Are you taking the next week off from anything remotely smelling of work?? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I am so glad it was a great week! Can you rest some this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 What is this rest that some of you speak of? Now I have to hyperfocus on this year's school because. . . . I have absolutely NOTHING planned yet because I was so busy first with my dad dying and then with Bible camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Jean, a week won't make a difference. By the time you place your orders AFTER you have decided what to order, the week will be over any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Rest a little before you get started on doing so much that you get over-tired and sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 The little girl's nose is not broken as far as the doctor can tell. It is definitely bruised and swollen though. Poor girl. RC, are you and Liz going to gang up on me to nag me into resting? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 RC, are you and Liz going to gang up on me to nag me into resting? :lol: I was not nagging you. That was a direct order, also known as a command. You do not respond positively to nagging, so I changed my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 RC - I don't respond to direct commands either. I'm a free spirit! (Plus if I don't sit down and pay all the bills today they will repossess the house and car and I will end up on your doorstep and then where will you be?)

RoughCollie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just checking to see if you were asleep! :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The little girl's nose is not broken as far as the doctor can tell. It is definitely bruised and swollen though. Poor girl. RC, are you and Liz going to gang up on me to nag me into resting? :lol: If ganging up will help, then I'm in. Take at least a couple days to actually rest. I think that it will pay off in your not burning out or feeling sick early in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Ganging up won't help. Jean is as stubborn as a dozen free-spirited mules. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hey, I slept from 10 pm to 8 am this morning - a whole ten hours! I'm planning on taking a nap this afternoon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto that. We just feel you could benefit from our wisdom and guidance! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
