I&#8217;m taking the kids and all the stuff I can fit into the van up to the family reunion camp as the lone parent, and hoping my DH will come up (and bring the tent trailer) after work.  I&#8217;m hoping not to forget things.  I&#8217;ve got all the craft stuff, all the food stuff for the potluck, we need to make lunch stuff, I&#8217;m packing for almost all 7 of us, swim stuff, suncreen, forgot the bug spray, so I need to find some of that, and I&#8217;m hoping to remember my sense of humor and sanity.  It&#8217;s only two days of constant dirt and couting my children to make sure not one of them has wandered off with cousins and is lost somewhere.  I can get through it.  Camping is just not as much fun as it was when I was a kid.  I wonder why.<\/p>\n<p>*********************************<\/p>\n<p>If certain friends of mine (you KNOW who you are) don&#8217;t soon get ON their lazy butts and post something interesting, I&#8217;m going to have to take the links off my blog.  I know you live very interesting and busy lives, but could you just slow down for a minute or so to blog about it so the rest of us who have nothing to do but blog will have something to read about?
