Jun. 18, 2007 - Nerves of a Homeschool Mommy
I am sooo stressed out. My nerves are shot. It is really hard to concentrate. I know I am over reacting but .......................................................................................................................
I am a homeschool Mom and I am w/ my son, Biggun, all the time. So Biggun is at Cub Scout Day Camp. I know it is DAY camp. He will be home tonight.
BUT we live in Florida It is 83 degrees right now and the humidity is 75% and the HEAT index is 90 degrees.
I am so worried he will dehydrate at camp. The water that they offer the kids taste just horrid. Last year I went and was the Den Leader. So I made sure all the boys in the two Dens that were together drank either lemone aid or cool aid. We just flavored the horrid water and it was not so bad.
We found out that his Den leader did not get assigned until LAST NIGHT. Needless to say he was not prepared at all. The best thing to do is bring a wagon to carry everyones items around. Instead of making the boys carry them. (They don't want to do that.)
We did get Biggun a Bladder Back Pack. It is a water bottle back pack that you can drink from a tube over your shoulder. We sent him w/ flavor packets to mix in his water.
So as I sit here at work w/ Baby Bear in the back ground. I worry about my Biggun. This is a first for both of us!!!! The longest he has been away w/ strangers has been to VBS at a local church from 9-12am. Not from 8:30am -4:30pm.
