Have you ever had one of those days that you are almost wishing somebody would say something snippy to you so you could have a legitimate reason to scream? That has been my thoughts for most of the day. I'm sure that makes me a horrible person but I can't seem to get my mood in check today. I can't pinpoint what it is that has me on edge. It's not my children because in all honesty they are being fabulous today. My husband just as fabulous. No crappy weather to blame it on either. Bleh. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has ever felt like this?!
That aside, Banana and Running Man had an awesome campout last night. It was Banana's first one ever and according to her dad she had the time of her life. Miss Em and I couldn't go due to work so we had a (not so) quiet night at home. It was good to spend some one on one time with her though because her being a second child and all I always feel guilty for not giving her the same attention Banana got at that age. The weather has still been pretty hot so I wasn't too worried about them freezing to death, I was mostly worried about her not sleeping. (She had to be at preschool first thing this morning so that REALLY worried me). But true to form she was a trooper and loved it all. She is such an outdoorsy kind of girl. Well she's a big girly girl too, so I think she strikes up a nice balance. She is already trying to plan the next camping outing so we need to hurry and squeeze one in before Iowa winter sets in :) Here are the pics that Running Man took for me!
This is an awesome hammock that our friend Randy brought to sleep in. Running Man claims it's the most comfortable thing he's ever sat on.
Banana has been battling with a giant fear of the dark lately, but Running Man said it only took two minutes before she grabbed the flashlight and started trekking into the woods that night!
A true breakfast of champions....Juice box and marshmallows. I did pack some fruit for them, but I'm pretty sure I can see it sitting on the table behind them. Uneaten. Camping is all about the goodies anyway right? :)

I get in cranky moods too. I often ask myself "how fun are you to live with?" that can change my mood pretty fast. Most of the time I blame it on hormones ha ha. Glad she had a great time camping. My kids favorite part of camping are the smores.
It is because we do not hang out anymore...that would explain your mood.
Another explanation would be...because you wanted to be a part of the campout and you couldn't be...That stinks that you guys don't have a backup for work.
The first ones are always "Special" not that you do not love Em just as much....Banana is at the age where she can do things and it is fun to watch her have fun....and the campout was her FIRST.
You are not a bad person...I feel like that some days too!!
I hope all of this rambling made sense....
It looks like they had fun on their campout!
I've been feeling like that lately, too. I'm glad it isn't just me.
