Ok. It's late January and, despite the fact that it was 50+ degrees yesterday, we are nowhere close to summer. Or are we?
See...as I've mentioned...I'm Type A. In fact, do they have a Type AA? Because I'm totally Type AA then. So I try to stay on top of my "to do" lists (err...well except the work ones - but in my defense, that's because it rolls out the window and down Rte 6). This especially applies to G.
When G came home 2 weeks ago telling me that 2 of his good friends were going to a particular summer camp and "CanIgowiththempleaseMomyouknowhowmuchIlovethem", I PANICKED! WHAT? Summer camp? I didn't miss the sign-up time, did I?
I scrambled onto the computer that night after G went to bed and onto the camp's website.
PHEW. No open registration yet.
BUT WAIT. Registration starts February 8th.
WHAT? February 8th?!?!?!
I realize the camps need to get a head count so they can staff up. But holy crap. This sent my mind spinning (and the list below will unfortunately give you a glimpse into what it's like to be me).
- February 8th is 2 weeks away.
- I haven't planned our summer vacation yet.
- I am not sending this kid to this camp for the whole summer. I'd like to but that would cost more than said vacation - x 2.
- Uh oh.
- What's the deal with his other camp? I haven't seen anything on it.
(Scramble to other camp's website. NOTHING. Email director. Hold breath - he usually takes days to get back to me.)
- Ok, I have to start planning our vacation.
- I asked Gregg about it last week and since it's not Disney, he was blase. Crap. Where should we go?
- I wonder if we should invite Jay/Carrie/Tate.
(Text Carrie to ask about vacation.)
- Ok, my 2 choices are - since I can't get them to do OBX again - Acadia National Park or the Cape.
(Begin research on vacation. Spend 2+ hours. Find decent rentals in Acadia. Don't even begin The Cape search.)
Now I'm really panicking. THE camp has fort-building, which G wants to do. I could send him to that session but will his friends be there? Can I plan our vacation around it? CRAP, I need to know when his other camp starts.
It's been 2 days since Andrea panic attack 5409054809. I haven't heard back from the other camp director but I have confirmed that G wants to do fort-building. So we'll likely do that. I've taken a deep breath and realized I CAN plan our vacation around camp.
I can do this.
But geez I really am good at putting myself in a tizzy, aren't I?
And all for SUMMER 2010. 5 months away. LOL.
