6 days

3 long weeks

so- i've been out of camp for about 2 or 3 weeks. but the 3 weeks i was there were long. it started out kinda fun, just being in the swing of summer that i knew as a kid. i loved it when i was younger. it was awesome. but, things change.
sunday of first week, a counselor friend in the cabin upstairs came running down and said "come quick, one of my girls is throwing up." i put on shoes and quickly became known as "puke mamma." as in most bothersome situations i'm involved with, i took charge. i got all the girls out of their beds and outside on the porch. i got the sick girl to the side of the porch - just in case. and with a little help from the camp nurses who couldn't stomach even looking at it, i got rubber gloves, trash bags, a mop and bucket, and some lysol. i cleaned off everything it got on (it was projectile), got the girl to change her clothes, and got the girl's mom on the phone. she soon was gone, and came back a couple days later, after having been to the doctor and finding out she had strep-but wasn't contagious. it was an interesting night. the next day, one of my campers started getting sick. food poisoning. she was the only one though, thank goodness. so, i of course was elected to take care of her, and her messes. she came back later too. my cabin got the black mop most of the week, i think it was 3 days in a row. one day we didn't even bother cleaning. just didn't want to. and of course, we got yelled at for it. oh well.
day camp was exhausting. it's only 3 days long, but it's more exhausting than a week. it was fun though. we didn't do much.
teen week is always fun. sunday, a mom and daughter walk in my cabin and the mom says, "are you relish? i've heard lots about you." my first thoughts are holy crap, and who have you been talking to? she tells me she heard i was a good disiplenarian. amazing. i lay down the law at camp. if you want to have fun, you'll act right. that's all. well. i took it light heartedly, no biggie.

haven't touched this blog in a while, figgured i should. i use my xanga more. www.xanga.com/violynrushton

so, camp has been poop. one more week- then i'll update on all of camp.

holy canoli

this summer is great fun. so far- hitting the high lights- i've been to/in a wedding, a bachelorette sleep over, went to alabama, seen x-men3 twice, been hangin out with my bro a lot, had a memorial day cook out with the fam, went to hooters with 5 of my favorite people in the world, saw one of my favorite comedians live, and the fun just keeps coming! the gulf and memphis also await me this summer. and laura's bday is only 16 days away- we're going all out. not really- but we're going to have some fun! and who knows what else i'll find to get into.

g-ma goes home

a wonderful woman that i treasure has gone to live with our creator. i'm sad, but i'm happy for her. i will never stop loving her. or remembering her. she was always so proud of us, even if what we were trying to do wasn't going so well. she never ceased to amaze me by the food she would put on the table- even if i was the only one that was going to eat it. i would sit at her table and eat a whole can of pineapple for lunch, and maybe give pop-pop a slice or two if he wanted it. she always wanted everyone to be taken care of, and if that meant she didn't get something, she didn't care. she was an amazing person, and i hope to be half the wife, woman, and mother she was.

so much fun, it should have been illegal...

well- it probably was according to the "harding police"

me, brandon, april, david, farren, jason, chelsea, sean, and monica all went and played in the mud and water on the front lawn. it was AMAZING! so fun! we had a slip and slide type thing going- and a little football tossin', and a huge mud fight. it was the most fun i've have in a long while- i totally needed it. especially today. it was kinda yucky- but well worth the fun. best shower i've had... whoa... good shower. first thing i did when i walked in the room though.... BRUSHED MY TEETH... hahaha! it was SO much fun! if it's raining tomorrow- you'll know where to find me...

pictures to come soon... and very soon... if they turn out... april's waterproof camera... no flash... dark outside... night time+no flash=no bueno... "what's a bueno?"

hahaha! i love these kids! why did we just now really start hanging out this much! oh the fun we could have been having! but, i'm having an amazing time. good last couple of weeks... will make me not want to go home... sigh.
