I guess, people that don't know camp dont get that I don't even have time to brush my teeth. There is a line out of my door and I am pulled in a million directions all throughout the day.

I am the Co-Director with Brian (the owner for you non campers) , so I am crazy busy, I of course play the bad cop to his good cop. But I knew that going into it.

I have manged to go out a few times at night. And you will be happy to know that I still got it. And have managed to beat everyone who challenges me to a chugging competion. It really bums out the young British counselors when I beat them. Oh well.

The girls are doing fantastic. Ruthie has really embraced camp life. She is begging me to sleep in the cabin, and if she hadn't stolen a girls sunglasses and tried to flush them down the toilet with her other friend yesterday... (Forgot to add that to the list) she might have been able to. Yeah, that conversation was great... "Ruthie kids at camp get sent to my office for this. Now I have to yell at you?"

Lucy has her days, she is really coming out of her shell but still gets overwhelmed at all the chanting, screaming and loud evening activities. She thinks people are going to "get her" or hurt her. She loves campfires and playing with her friends, but really struggles to like the food, and to have down time.

I have had 10 hours since I have been here that I have been off duty. That includes, nights weekends what have you. So I feel a little run down. I have to give the nanny some time off soon so hopefully I may manage to get out of here. I have lost all track of days and times!

Re-reading the above may sound bad, we are REALLY having fun, it is just alot of work for me, and hard to balance everyone and everything, but I am super pumped to be using my brain again for something that I truly enjoy and am good at!

Hopefully pictures and stuff soon!
