Blah Camping Day
My husband and I are in charge of our church’s family campout tonight. I know I’m supposed to be all gung-ho and rah-rah go team about this, but I’m not. After our 11-day family vacation, I just don’t feel like pulling it all together for another outing. I just don’t feel like going at all. I want to stay home and read Eclipse in peace and quiet. It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.
It seems like I’m the only one who hasn’t devoured it yet. I’m only on page 300 of 600 and something pages. My 13-year old daughter spent 2 1/2 days holed up with it, and I haven’t had time to get into yet for an extended period of time. I’ve been buying food and distrubuting flyers for the campout.
I know I need to make memories with my family. I know some day (sooner than I think) I will be sad that they’re gone and I will be glad we did so many things together. But I am just having a hard time getting up for this. Thinking about food, clothes, camping gear and all the other junk I’m going to forget makes we want to just sit and write this blog and let the world go by.
The s’mores are waiting. The stars are waiting. The memories are waiting to be made. What am I waiting for? Besides a natural disaster to cancel the whole thing? Or instant sickness to overtake my body?
Hmmmmm.
