Kids change everything

Quick update.
For mom: I have a bunch of bumps and bruises because I always have been clumsy and being at camp has not stopped that. I got a fairly bad set of scrapes down my leg during orientation a week ago and they are still there so I think they will scar but that's my own fault. My legs will be eternally bruised no matter where I am.

Moving on, the kids are here and it is a whole new ballgame. It's absolutely nuts. I work for about 15 hours a day. It's so hard to explain because if you called me all I would want to do is complain about how hard the day has been and what my difficult child kept doing. However, I love my kids to pieces. They all have such strong and different personalities. It's so rewarding to do swimming especially because it is boiling here. In between classes I always jump in the lake to cool down. The kids always come back for shower hour completely drenched in sweat. It's kinda nasty but also the girls are just plain exhausted that it works out in our favor.

I wrote in my diary that the only way to explain why it's so difficult is to put it this way... In 3 days I was placed in an arranged marriage with 2 girls, we moved in together, adopted 8 kids, and then kept full time jobs at the same time.

Meals are interesting. If I was to talk about them it would turn into a rant. Short version: we got 8 chicken nuggets to feed 11 people. This repeats with every meal just the food changes. However, the meals are a lot of fun and the kids are getting into the songs and dances.

Thursday is a beach day so I'm very excited to get off camp, even though the kids will be there.

See you soon!
