I am a bad mom. Michaela and I are going to girl scout camp this weekend. We are driving down tomorrow morning. We'll be there all day and overnight tomorrow night. We're coming home tomorrow morning. Michaela is very excited about it and I'm glad she's excited but....
I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did not like girl scouts when I was a kid, so it's hard enough for me as it is to be involved in the activities for it, because honestly, I'm still not into the whole girl scout thing. But, I try to be involved as much as possible and try to do so with a positive attitude so that Michaela will enjoy it and not be brought down by my feelings. But, I REALLY HATED the whole camp thing like we're doing this weekend. We're staying in a lodge, but still I really do not want to go.
It also means being around a bunch of girls that do not belong to me for half of my weekend. I am in charge of other people's kids all week. It's my job. It's very hard for me to get into being in charge of other people's kids on the weekends.
Add to all this that I have enough paperwork for work to keep me busy for a week let alone for a weekend that needs to be done and I'll be missing most of my weekend. It also means I won't get started on laundry until afternoon time on Sunday. This means I'll still be doing laundry on Tuesday because Michaela has gymnastics on Monday.
I'm trying so hard not to be negative about this. I do not want to ruin it for Michaela but I really wish I had not agreed to do this. Although, I could not have done that to Michaela, either. Not agreeing to it because I don't like it is not a good reason to keep her from it. I'm not at the point where I'm comfortable letting her go to these things alone, yet either.
