I began to write down the entire camping saga, but as I got to about page 3, my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I lost consciousness. So I decided to go with my abbreviated Facebook version of the events of the weekend:
Friday:
Camping in the heat. I’m down 3 dress sizes.
Later on Friday:
And now it’s raining. Pestilence not far behind.
Even later on Friday:
Sadly, on his way to offer sustenance, Fiddledaddy called to tell me the car broke down. Sincerely, Job.
Saturday:
For the record. Still camping. Still raining. Still 125 degrees. And I’m pretty sure a skunk just entered the fray. On the bright side, I am now a size 0.
Sunday:
Home from camping. No one died, I’m happy to report. Thankful for air conditioning, showers, my coffee pot, and extra-strength Tylenol.
The End.

People ask me why I don’t camp – I’ll be sending them a link to this page!
Glad you lived to tell the tale!
’bout sums it up!
(Tell FD I really am sorry about the whole ‘car breaking down’ thing. Sometimes, I don’t know my own strength – of prognosticating doom).
Can’t wait until December! By the way, I was reading your FB updates while camping at FW. So sorry for you, but the campground bathrooms were glorious. And during the afternoon monsoons we were on the monorail. Yeah, we were roughing it. You win mom of the year for going to WP. Ick.
Good. Times. Not now of course, but someday you will look back on this adventure with fond memories
This is why my idea of camping is a hotel with a heated indoor pool, room service, shoping malls near by and no kids! Thank you for reminding me that!
Those are precisely the reasons I hate camping, there are a few more to go along with your experience. Ants, bugs,dirt more dirt in your teeth and food, sand everywhere, either heat or cold, damp things, (everything).
Oh my gosh, I’m already laughing after just reading the title. Okay, now I’ll go back up and read the post.
Couldn’t have put it better myself. As to why I shall never again need to explore the great outdoors overnight. It’s a good thing you came back at size 0. Not sure what size comes after that?
