Hey all, another day bites the dust. Its amazing how fast this summer is going by, if you think about it this is week three out of ten. WOW!!! Before you know it I will be back at home. So today was pretty good. Eileen was there twice today and it seemed the after she left this morning all hell broke loose. It seems like today's big issue was the behavior and injuries. We had a pulled muscle and a kid skid on concrete and landed hard on his knee, which became swollen, of course. But other than that, all is good.
Lauren and I got our planning done in record time...43 minutes. Which is good. That is about all that I have for you for today...
Until tomorrow!!!
Just want to shout out to my grandma...Thanks for reading this. I love you
And a shout out to my aunt who has been following me for a long time. Love ya too T!!!

Breaking Dawn
Calling all you Twilight Fans out there...In case you havent heard the newest edition to the Hollywood adapted version of the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer Breaking Dawn Part 1 comes out in theaters on November 18!!!! this looks good, now the only question is where will they cut the book for the end of part one? If you haven't yet seen the trailer, I'm putting it on here!!!! Hope you enjoy...I know I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Week Three- Day Ten
This marks the end of day ten and it was good. Today went really well actually, I don't really think that there is anything that was negative or wrong today, which in my book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The kids learned about a new country today, Egypt of course and most of them enjoyed it. They got to look at hieroglyphics and learn about the culture. They played a couple of games that work on soccer skills and they enjoyed that too! They went swimming in the 5:45 today, but that is because a parent ran late, no biggie!!
Got home and had dinner, I have to do a little research for tomorrow's country, but nothing big. So another day down and behind me, and it goes down as a good day in my book. Almost everyday so far has been a good day.
Lauren and I are getting settled into our roles, not as much stress as there has been. All is going well!!
So this is a little dry this time,but ya know you can't really expect a really great post everyday...So until next time.... XOXO

Week Three-Day Nine
This post once again marks the end of another day, I'm a little late on my post today, but that is because my aunt and uncle came home today!!!! YAY!!!! So today went fantastically compared to yesterday. Everyone showed up when they were supposed to, a good sign that the day will go as planned. We had all but two of our counselors today, and one of the part time counselors actually stayed all day. So a good day!
We fell a little behind schedule in the morning but we felt that the kids should enjoy a little time on the playground at Washington. So we pushed things back by about 20 minutes. We split the kids up and they either worked on soccer skills (this weeks big game) or they made passports and learned about Japan. This week is International Week, so each day the kids learn about a new county every day. Its really exciting and the kids seemed to enjoy it, we didn't get to the game or the craft for Japan, but thats ok we can save it for another time.
No issues today. The kids went to the local community pool and had a blast, there weren't many issues or problems with the kids at the pool, so its all gonna work out.
So that is all that I have for you today. I changed the look of my blog, I got a little bored with just one shade of pink. So I like pink and I love the new look. Hope you do too!!!!!
Until tomorrow peeps...

Week Three- Day Eight
Hey all, Well this marks the end of day eight and man was it a MONDAY! To start the day off I had cereal and coffee for breakfast, nothing big there. I make my ten minute drive to the NCKTC building to park my car, unlocked the building and then proceeded across the street to set up for the parents for drop off. 7:35 rolls around and the first child shows up...I'm the only one there. Not an issue yet. After I hit the 15 mark, I started to worry. Keep in mind that after the first one showed up I was on the phone to find out who was supposed to be there at 7:30, and Lauren texted me the night before and said that we would meet at 7:30 to go over the weeks plan. Thankfully as the 16th child showed up faithful Ryan and Wonderful Anna showed up. YAY! NO MORE FREAKING OUT!!!!
So you know its Monday when your boss is calling you to tell you the things that she need made available by the time she gets there and you have two staff members still not show up until after 8:00. Finally both missing staff members show up at ten after, both saying that they had alarm issues...you know its Monday when..
You know its Monday when have some kids not there, some kids with late arrivals, some leaving and coming back and others with early pick-ups.
You know its Monday the outside temperature is supposed to be 103 with a matching index, and you are over heated and your stomach hurts.
Needless to say..it was Monday. We didn't really do much of the planned day, but with the weather and being short staffed, its understandable.
So that is the negative, the positive, by brother Rhyno started his jazz camp today and surprisingly he has one of my favorite professors I've ever had as his instructor...singer and song writer Reggie Thomas!!!! Another positive thing is that we really didn't have that many kids today compared to last week. And our new staff member started today, and to top that Ryan came back this week. He got married on Saturday so congratulations to him!!!
Now I'm just sitting back relaxing and trying to figure out something to eat....
Until tomorrow...
P.S...In case you didn't already know...IT'S MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Lady Gaga
Gaga has become a household name over the past year or so. And she has taken the music industry by storm. Her music speaks to many people of many ages. She has practically taken the world between her music and her outrageous outfits. But still many many people love her. Many high school students can relate to her and her high school experience. I know that I can.
Her music, while most of it is about sex, the underlying theme is completely different, all she really wants is to be heard. her music is pop and lately she has done a cross-over song "Born This Way". From pop to country. And I have to admit I like her country version. Its different and its her.
Gaga will survive throughout the ages, whether it be from the radio stations, the gossip about her revolutionary take to music, her message or through her fans, she will survive. So if you haven't joined the Gaga bandwagon (pun intended) yet, I suggest you do...She will be around for a while...

Week Two- Day Seven
Hey all, this marks the end of week two for the Summer Blast Day Camp. Today was so much fun, and the day went really well. Everyone stuck to the schedule that Lauren and I planned out. The activities today included going to the library, playing I spy, playing find the leader, having a 4square tournament, a water balloon fight, playing pickle as well as drip drip drop and free time.. Needless to say I got soaked by both the kids and the counselors, and vice verse. Regardless, it was fun and I enjoyed all of it.
This week has had its ups and downs, but without our amazing staff none of it would be possible. This past week I have been more focused on the negative when I should have been more focused on the positive and its something that I need to work on.
The good thing is that I have the weekend to work on my side project a little, and do some work outside and hopefully get some music reviews on this thing. Since this blog has become more focused on my life right now, I have decided that every weekend I am going to try to do some kind of review.
So until then my faithful readers...

Week Two-Day Six
Hey readers, this marks the end of day six, and boy did it end with a bang. Today went pretty well, no hiccups that we have previously faced. The day went as smoothly as expected. A few mis-behaving kids, but nothing we cant handle. Another good thing about today is that we broke our record for number of kids, we had 42 today!!!!! YAY!!!!
When it came time to go over to the shelter, what we call a pavilion at home, one of the counselors decided that he was only going to take a select few of kids (the 4th and 5th graders) to the other side of the dike apparently with lauren's permission to play. Well of course no one told me and there were other kids from there group that wanted to go. And to top It off I didn't know what kids he had with him... so needless to say the ending wasn't all that good
Sorry I didn't post this last night, I was just really tired...

Thursday Latlies
Today I decided to go home for lunch, just for the heck of it. So I decided that I'm gonna do my thursday latlies.
I am greatful for this amazing team that I get to work with. They are doing there hardest to make everything work. And that is all that I really ask of them
I am thankful for family, without them I wouldn't be here.
I am thankful for wireless internet..without which I wouldn't be able to talk to all of you.
I don't really have much else for this week, but if I think of one then I will type it out when I do my other post at the end of the day!

Week Two-Day Five
Hey all, Today marks the end of day five. We had our staff meeting this morning and hopefully it was all taken in and things will go better. Only time will tell. Today went smoother than yesterday, but that is because we all followed the schedule that was previously planned out. Which is a good, thing. All in all things at camp are going just as well as one could hope. Eileen hired a new girl today, and now we are fully staffed, at least I think so. So everything is good.
I have some research that needs to be done, but that is just about it. I am going to start working on my project for Eileen this weekend...Hopefully I will get some head way on that this weekend.
SO my post today isnt all that jazzm but its all i got....
So unil next time
