missing lunches, crying, ice cream sundaes, the bad seed, and phantom of the alamo (session 2)

[magliteelf]

It's over! IT'S OVER! The most awful camp session I have ever been apart of is finally over. This session I had the 6-8 year olds...again...but there were only 18, compared to last sessions 21 it was supposed to be a walk in the park....OH NO! Our kids personalities just didn't mesh well together. They all cried over every little thing. It was ridiculous! I wasn't ready for it AT ALL! Then we ended up having a child that we just referred to as "the bad seed". Horrible, I know. But this child was a nightmare to deal with. She was manipulative and mean to all the rest of the kids, she punched some kid in the stomach, and she's just awful. I never thought I'd actually be able to hate a child....but guess what? I hate her...she's awful. Anyway, there were afew that I am going to miss....actually there are only two. They were always happy and listened well when it was time too. One of them didn't follow the rules all the time but we just couldn't get mad at him, he was just too fucking cute. The first day of camp he raises his hand and said "drinking alcohol is bad for you." He's funny. His mom was awesome too. Every morning she would have really up beat music playing, it put me in a good mood. One morning she had that new Pussy Cat Dolls song on...and we danced. It was amusing. I ended up doing Phantom of the Alamo this week for Gypsy because she took a vacation and went to California. I forgot how much fun doing a show with those people is. I messed up last night, ofcourse it had to be when Richard (my boss) was there....but oh well. We all messed up last night...and it was hillarious. So next session is even smaller than this one was. Probably because of July 4th. Guess what age group I have? 6-8...the storybook class for the 3rd time in a row. It's ok...there are only 6 kids so far....it should be easy. Hey, atleast I'm not doing Annie (freaking) Jr. That class has 31 kids in and only one of them is a boy....who would sign up their son for Annie Jr, is beyond me...but I'm just glad I'm not doing that one. I told David Ankrom if I did get that class I was going to play in traffic. Anyway, I only have two more weeks until my vacation...and I am SOOOOOOOO EXCITED! I need one....seriously. It's not gonna be fun losing the money from the fourth session....but oh well.
Such is life...until the end of session 3...
