so a few days ago troy sent out one of his emails asking for help to do high ropes today...and like i usually do i emailed him back and told him that if he still needed someone i could help. and he promptly emailed me back saying that he did need someone...so on my calendar it went...ropes @ camp 2-5 and this morning i got up, rolled over heard the rain and felt the cold window and thought i guess i dont have to get up and drive to camp....i even looked at weather.com and there was rain in literally the entire southeast part of the country so i thought i could just go get breakfast with drew and not worry about going. just to make sure i wasn't still needed and his response is that as far as he knows they still want to do ropes...so i round up my layers of warm clothes and head off to camp. i was going up early so i could get lunch and made it to camp about 12:30...still raining, still very cold, still very depressing...after the group has to push back the time and the number of kids drops we go and set up. the group leader tells us only like 10 kids and that they would be out there by 3...and 10 kids in about an hour and a half isn't bad, it's do-able. however when 3 comes around there are more than 15 kids...and they want to get them through basic in an hour and a half to two hours...horrible idea!!! so it's raining, freezing cold and of course the kids are complaining...i love doing ropes, don't get me wrong, i absolutly love it however on days like today it's really tough to love it as well as loving the kids...today was long, tomorrow will be a little tougher im sure because we are having our youth christmas party and it's the second to last event ill get to do with them and its just a little scary...
i think im going to put a movie in and goto sleep, or atleast try to...
good night all
love.
