Ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch. There are these achy, tingling things at the ends of my sore and tired legs. I think they were once my feet, but I can’t be sure now. The rest of my body is okay, but from the hips down, I’m a mess. What brought this terrible state to pass, you may ask? Well, this is what happens when you take a lazy, sedentary old lady and throw her into a classroom with some middle school kids who are trying to learn web design from a Chinese teacher at summer camp. My job was to walk around helping kids keep up, answering questions and such. That meant that I spent the vast majority of the 5 hours on my feet or walking around the classroom. Ouch. I say again, ouch.
All in all, it wasn’t horrible, though. The kids were basically good, decently behaved kids who seem to want to learn this stuff. It’s a free summer camp offered by the public school system in conjunction with the college, but the kids had to apply to get in and not all were accepted – there were just more applications then there were slots to put them in. There were a couple boys who were younger than the rest and needed a lot more help (especially when they weren’t paying attention the part of the time), but even they were willing to work to keep up.
Tomorrow may be different since half the kids didn’t show up due to some mix up with the buses – we had 12 kids today, but may have a total of 24 tomorrow. That will mean that half the class will have to learn everything we taught today, while the other half will be ready to move on to new stuff. That’s going to make things interesting, to say the least. And it’s also likely to entail a lot more walking around the classroom answering questions. I guess you can imagine my reaction to that thought – ouch. I can only hope that I have enough ibuprofen on hand to deal with all the aches and pains I’m sure to have tomorrow.

Really enjoy your blog! Hope your kitchen remodel is soon done. Focus on the way it will look - maybe that'll help. (And a trip to Hawaii wouldn't hurt 
by sometime soon 
Thanks for dropping in, sweetness - it was great to see you! 
Take care of that arm, my friend, and talk to the doc if you need to... 
Just wanted to let you know I've subscribed to your blog so I can keep up with you more easily. 
Actually, my feet are too gross to benefit from a pedicure -- I wouldn't expose some poor person to them. But it's a nice sentiment.
