You're jealous

Let me tell you about my day.

A few months back around Christmastime a so-called 'friend' told me about the joys and glee of cub scout summer camp. She encouraged me to volunteer, give back to the community, and bestow my wisdom, compassion, and leadership qualities upon the youth of Mecklenburg county.

I believed her.

I signed up to HELP out in some SMALL, let me emphasize, SMALL infinitesimal way.

Today I show up with all and enthusiasm of one who has no known responsibility and likes it that way. Only to discover I am the sole responsible party for 12, eight and nine - year old hyped up boys.

Oh happy day.

Thankfully the Good Lord blessed me with 12 wonderful, easy, polite and interesting children. Not so with the other dens I've seen.

The only complaint I have is the archery instructor. She's an archery Nazi. I am experiencing emotions of great dislike. This woman is soaring high on her power trip and I'm gonna take her down. I don't know when my fuse will blow but I've sized her up and pretty sure I will be victorious in a cage match.

The best part of the day....obstacle course. Which happens to be run by two ridiculously good-looking Eagle scouts. I hope to God they are over 20. I did the obstacle course 3 times in 95 degree heat just to see their angelic faces. My face was somewhat less than angelic after I finished running a half mile, pull-ups, army crawl, log rolling, vaulting, tires, and bounding over a 7 foot high wall 3 times.  But oh my they were worth it.

Check in later in the week and hopefully I'll have pictures of the twins and a picture of the archery instructor being carried away on a stretcher after I'm done with her.

Wish me luck......
