4-H: Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. This is on my mind today as I took over as co-leader for the local club and we have a big fundraiser tomorrow. I was very active in 4-H as a child and my children have been members now for a few years. Every summer there is also a week long camp that was the highlight on my year. My kids have loved it too. Last summer, my daughter was diagnosed just a few weeks before camp so it was very stressful (I think I wrote a post about it). So this year I am attending as a counselor. When I was a teenager I thought for sure this was something I would do every year as an adult, now that the time is getting closer I am worried. I love kids but sometimes they overwhelm me. I think as I have gotten older and my kids have grown I have lost some of my patience. I am usually better around other people kids and I know my kids plan to act like they don’t know me so hopefully it will be alright.

I’m not patient with children either, so I’m not sure how I’ll act around my kids. I find I’m more nervous if anything around kids. The age gap makes it hard to talk to them, and of course I’m not nearly as active as I used to be. My interests have changed as well.
Anyways, it’s a good thing you’re comfortable around kids. ^^ Haha, I do remember going through a short phase in my tweens when I was embarrassed to be seen with my parents. Oh how do I think when i was younger? Lol..
