"I can
do all things through Christ who gives me strength" - Philippians 4:13
As a new
mom, I feel as if I never get time to myself anymore. My days are consumed with
caring for Lucas and with my husband's current work schedule I feel like a
single parent. This week was particularly difficult. I started off the week with Lucas's doctor
appointment. He received his first set of immunization shots on Monday. One oral, two in the right leg and one in the
left leg. By the time I got back to PSR, he had a low grade fever and his legs
were sore. The camp nurse helped me give
Lucas the correct dosage of Tynole and he slept soundly though the night.
I got back
to camp just in time for the staff photo. I really wanted Lucas to be a part of
the photo. However, he wasn't in the
cooperative mood and I ended up taking him to bed early. I was disappointed,
but it worked out for the best. He
needed to sleep. And so did I.
My husband
has been extremely busy this week preparing
for camp, training the staff and finalizing the loan paperwork for our new
home. I am looking forward to having
everything settled, and for my husband to be able to spend more time with his
family. I've observed firsthand how hard it is to be a camp administrator and
have a family. This will be my fifteenth summer at PSR. I have been employed
for ten summers, been a staff volunteer for two summers and a staff brat for
three. I've watched four different camp administrator come and go. I understand
how stressful and demanding the job can be.
Family is set aside, second to the demands of camp. My parents, and many
others are a testament to that.
I want to
end on a positive note. My husband and I had a wonderful day off together. It
felt amazing to get off the mountain. We dropped Lucas off with Dada and Dadi
and went to see Brave. It was a cute movie. Not one of my top Disney/Pixar favorites...my
favorite it still UP and Ratatouille.
