I just got home from rehearsals. It's been a stressful day. The kids want to play and I understand that, it's summer camp after all. But it's so frustrating because we have a play to put on at the end of the week! By the time rehearsals were over I was ready to pull my hair out. I actually broke down in tears after the kids left. Josh was there (he was driving Lauren and I home) and he helped to calm me down. He said he is off Wednesday afternoon and will come to rehearsal to help out. I also talked to Molly and Henry who offered to put in some time to help me keep the kids under control. Things are looking up. I just have to keep my cool.

The weekend was fun. The staff talent show was awesome! I sang Jessica Simpson's song, "In This Skin" and dedicated it to my campers. They loved it. Josh pretty much stole the show though - not that anyone's surprised. The guy is so talented. It amazes me that he's not famous. He did an Elvis medley that had everyone dancing and cheering.

After the show the staff went out to eat. Molly's best friend, Kelly came. She's also Josh's ex. But she's dating Josh's best friend, Jason, so I know she's not going to try to move in on him again. I always had the impression that she was kind of snotty, but she turned out to be pretty nice. I guess it goes to show that you shouldn't judge people until you actually meet them and talk to them.

I worked all day yesterday and Saturday. No Josh on Saturday but he was there yesterday. Working had been good though, I need as much money as I can get with my trip to Florida less than a week away.

After work on Saturday I went to see "Little Black Book" with Lindsay and Alex. It was so good to get Lindsay out of the house. Having Alex around has helped. She seems to be coming out of her depression a little. I think things will be even better when Jennifer returns. I think she's due back next week.

Josh drove me home from work yesterday and told me he had to take Lauren and her friend, Ashley, out for ice cream after dinner - he asked me if I wanted to join them! We ended up going to Friendly's. Lauren and Ashley were going on and on about Terry (one of the lifeguards). They think he's the "hottest guy" they've ever seen. Josh and I got a kick out of listening to them.

That pretty much brings me back to the present. I have so much stuff to do! I'm going back to the swim club around 5:00. Molly gets off work then and is going to help me paint some of the set for the play.

Tomorrow Aunt Lu is taking me shopping to get some things that I'll need for my trip. Friday night is the play. Saturday night is the dinner cruise up to New York, and then on Sunday I leave for Florida. I'm going on a four night cruise to the Bahamas with Natalie and then spending the rest of the time with my parents in Sarasota.

I'm looking forward to going home, but I know that when I get back Josh will be gone. Who knows when I'll see him again. It might be Thanksgiving before he comes home. :( That's why I'm trying to make the most of the time I have left with him.
