Today is one of those days I'm not sure why I try and make a plan. I am not a camper. I never went camping as a kid that I can ever remember. I slept on in a tent at girls camp and in our back yard. This is not an activity that comes 2nd nature to me. I've tried to make this a possible way for our family to enjoy some time away from the everyday. I have remade a popup trailer to the best level of comfort and fun as I could do.
This year we haven't been out camping once. Not one time in the 4 months of limited camping season that is coming to an end. I have tried and tried to make it happen, but I cannot and will not do it all. I have put DJ in charge and he either never decides where or when to go. This week I have triend to prepare and habe DJ come up with a plan. Today I went and hooked up the trailer myself. I shopped for the needed items. I packed the necessities. Made the kids a packing list. Did everything I could do besides loading up the bikes.
DJ got home at 7:10 and it is now 11:05. I took him 2+ hours to get the 5 bikes torn apart and on the rack with the trailer. Had to take all the tires off and it still rubs when turning tight. He forgot to bring ice home and now has to extend the electrical so we can have lights.
It's just one of those things that I'm not sure what to do with. The boys had school. Poppy had her long awaited Dr. appt. Hazel had cheer. Poppy was babysitting and here I am. In my bed, when I had hoped to be by a fire or wathing a movie outside.
Its fine, but still dissapointing. Not sure how to deal with things when they happen like this -which seems all too often the case. Guess I'll just keep trying and hope to get out there tomorrow.
