I'm so glad the week is over. It's friday night and I dont' have to deal with the kiddies till monday. HOORAY!!!

Overall, camp is going well. It's just that there are times where it seems that all the kids are fighting, crying, pushing, complaining and misbehaving in general all at once. That's what this week felt like. It might be that they feel quite comfortable with us now so they went a little buckwild on us. They're great kids, but it all can be a bit draining (think twice about having kids people...seriously). It's been so tiring at times that I've been in bed asleep by 9:30pm. That's crazy....so not Suzy behavior :)

There was one incident that disturbed me just a tad. Almost at the end of the day, this kid was playing by himself all calm. Then this other kid comes up to him and blows away whatever was infront of him. The first kid gets pissed off and pushes him hard and falls scraping his knee. I happen to catch all this and punished both kids. Inbetween sorting it all out, the pusher says to me that he wished he was a cop so that he could have a gun and shoot the other kid in the heart. I was so shocked by this, I was like dumbfounded for like 30 seconds. Ok, the fact that he "wants to kill" this other kid is a red flag in itself. But the way he put it...so specific and to the point, now that was disturbing. And all this from the mouth of a 7 year old. I so don't want to run into him 20 years from now.

Anyway.
