What Makes A Happy Camper?

What Makes A Happy Camper? This weekend we are going on an adventure. Well kind of. The man of the house has finally been broken down enough agreed to go camping. After many years of me pestering asking very politely, he has at long last surrendered to peer pressure the idea it will be fun. He did of course agree to this while enjoying a few drinks with friends at a barbeque recently but that still counts as a yes. Now I don’t want to make him sound uptight or less of a mans man but he isn’t exactly what I would call a camper.

This is a very nice change to the usual yelling, fighting and high pitch squeals whines (you know the one it’s painful to the ears and migraine inducing). When they were younger they got along so well; hugs and kisses along with big piles of toys being shared around. I had almost forgotten what it was like to not feel drained from the constant bickering between them. I’m the referee that they run to bellowing foul against the other. They scream blue murder over nothing and by the end of yet another tiresome repetitive day I feel deflated, frustrated and disappointed. I think the disappointment may be slightly due to the fact I get a little too excited that it’s time…
