That felt like more than a day.

It felt like a freakin' month.

Oregon Trail Overnight, blah blah blah. Hiked a lot, did some crafts-type-stuff with the kids, woke up in the middle of the night with a raging fever and the flu this morning, but hiked up Larch Mountain anyhow (big mistake: no lung capacity, every joint aching).

Let me just take this opportunity to say something very important. While the powers that be at my daughter's school have spent the bulk of the year telling me she needs to 'grow up faster' and 'be less sensitive,' I would rather have a sensitive and stubborn child any day compared to the nightmare group of prepubescent shits that were in our cabin. At least my daughter listens when an adult says something. These other kids were just a fucking nightmare and I swear, five more minutes with most of them and I'd be arrested for murder. The other mom in the cabin rooms with me was just about impotent with her own daughter, who is one little bundle of fuck you, dude, and some of the other kids were just horrible. Horrible. Disrespectful and annoying, and they wouldn't go to sleep, and they thought it was a bigass slumber party instead of... uh... nighttime and bedtime, and they were dancing around and up and down out of the bunks. Makes me wonder if a 3/4 class isn't too young for a school overnight. At least my daughter settled down and wanted to go to sleep.

They got reprimanded by one of the staff for being too noisy. Hannah was really upset, because she was ready for sleep.

Seems like the thing could have been a little bit better organized, but I really think the program was for older kids.

I feel like shit warmed over now. Thankfully I got my hands on a Motrin 800mg tablet this morning, but it's time for something more... substantial. Bring on the heavy drugs. I'm going to have to cancel all my massages for tomorrow; it would be irresponsible of me to do them and risk passing on this illness to my clients. Gah. I hate cancelling on people.

I am SO glad I don't have a completely hyperactive child. My head would explode.

I'm not desperate, but I am gorgeous and outrageous. And yes, I must be the conundrum that is both sloppy and orderly. So there.

Let's hear it for the Northwest.

Merrily and sleepily absconded from sff_corgi:


You're British Columbia. You're hip and happenin'
but also a nice person who isn't a snob. Career
is important to you but it isn't your whole
life. People assume that your life is perfect
and that you have it all, like you were born
with a silver spoon in your mouth. But it's not
true; you do have your own set of troubles just
like everybody else.
