so my room is unpacked, nominally to my satisfaction. many thanks to my smallfry dina and kayla for being troopers, and not only coming in to help kristin and i unpack, but bringing us our favorite coffees on top of that. i feel better knowing that all my crap is in the appropriate place and that the room looks pretty clean.

kristin and i also made a lot of headway on curriculum. it's a very happy place. we have lessons planned through the end of september, which gives me a strangely zen feeling, because i won't have a nosebleed on the first day of school.

at the same time, other things seem to be spinning alarmingly out of my control. wedding planning, for instance. why do we have to have a reception before dinner with shrimp paste samosas? ick. why does hideyo have to buy my brothers shoes? why must we take one MILLION pictures? it's all a mystery to me.

and ... camp. i wish i had had time to beat the hell out of everyone to turn their forms in in a timely manner ... and now here i am, five days before camp, having copious nosebleeds trying to download everyone's fifty gd forms. is it my fault i wasn't more organized? didn't get on people's cases to turn stuff in? what is it? and i feel so guilty for not doing more for camp ... leaving nate and cha out to hang ... but honestly? if i try to do anything more, i seriously might pop.

at least i have a planner. and i can stop forgetting my appointments. or double and triple booking appointments.

welcome back to the jungle.
