Monday, April 6

6:54 a.m. -  Today is the last day of Spring Break, and the weather definitely presented challenges.  Yesterday, Randy and Shawn left the campground after breakfast.  Yesterday was Easter, about 1 p.m., Amber and I went to my mom and dad's to visit with folks and have some Easter lunch.  Greg and Georgia and Chelsey and her daughter and boyfriend were there.  Around 3:30, Carmen, Tyler, and Caleb arrived.  We spent about an hour there with Grandma Cathy, and then we all headed to the campground where we spent a lot of time at the park playing on the equipment before coming in the camper to visit a bit.  

I didn't sleep the greatest, but now the camper is quiet.  Amber got a phone call early this morning that she needs to help watch Kollyns, so she's already out of the camper.  I'm planning on completing a couple of needed items here in the camper and then head back home for a bit.  I'm not sure if I'll be back to the camper today or not.

Yesterday I did decide to leave the camper here rather than take it home.  Purchasing another six nights was $162, which was decent enough to just leave it here.  I had looked at the weather forecast and this coming weekend looked good, but now I'm watching KWQC tell me that the end of this week is going to be wet - that's not good.  

I really, really don't want to start back to IC Elementary tomorrow.  I just don't want to have to deal with all the freaking problems that always seem to exist.  If the adults would just maintain a more positive attitude, that would help a lot.  I need to lose some weight and just stay focused on doing my best and get to the beginning of next month when I have surgery on my left knee.
