Camping Anxiety

This weekend is a long one for the kids, they are off school Friday for a "staff day." Gregg flies out to San Diego on Monday for a week, so what better time to go do something fun, like......... camping? We are driving down to a state park on Friday afternoon and plan on camping that night and then also Saturday evening.

There are electric hookups and running water and bathrooms, but I still feel that I'm leaving everything behind, like I'm going on that show Survivor or something. I've got a list about a hundred items long of things I feel I might or could need or want. I know I don't need 6 changes of clothes, but I feel compelled to be ultra prepared. We are going with two other families, there will be 6 adults and 8 children, so it could get really interesting. I will be sure to take some photos and post them when I have recovered from all the "fun."

Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that I don't die without internet or television, or for that matter a big fluffy bed to sleep on for two nights, in a row. I camped one night in high school with Gregg's parents and seriously thought I was going to die. So I really need all the help I can get to make it through this "adventure" unscathed. Only because I'm not really the camping type.

I am going to try my best to look on the bright side and help my kids enjoy nature and everything it has to offer. Oh, and here's hoping that the weather holds up and the fishing is good.

What did I get myself into? (me, 1979)
