Drac0's Inferno Part VI
Friday August 22nd. Uh….it’s 8:00 in the morning.
So we took up on this gentleman’s offer to use his vacant trailer. His name his Mike. His wife’s name is Kelly and they have three young children. This trailer that we are using is really quite nice. This is the best sleep I’ve had in a few days.
Unfortunately I seem to have come down with a cold. My throat is scratchy and my nose is stuffy. My main concern now is; how am I going to survive my business trip next week?
Uh…As I am recording this, BS and BD are playing with Mike and Kelly’s kids. And they are all actually doing something I haven’t seen in a while; sharing! SIL’s kids don’t believe in the concept.
SS is still sleeping. He was slightly annoying last night because we moved everything that we needed – which was as much as we could – from the camp site to this new trailer that we’re staying at. We didn’t bring any food. Just some juices.
So we’re inside and SS says “I’m hungry. Is there anything to snack on?”
We said no, there’s nothing. All the food is at the camp site.
“Can you go back and get some?”
DW replied “No! You want something, you go back and get it yourself!”
“But I don’t want to.”
“Well, too bad then.”
“But I’m hungryyyyyyyyy!”
Fortunately, DW had a granola bar in her purse and gave it to him, so that managed to pacify him and stave off another wet-works incident.
I’m loving the fact that we are actually sleeping in a dry place. FIL however, seems a little upset that we have moved to this other site. Pfft! Screw him! This whole time he has been acting like Chevy Chase in those Vacation movies. “Oh but it’s so nice! This is great! Think of all the lovely stories we’ll tell…” Oh yeah! I have some stories to tell; not in a good light!
Anyways, I better get back. Mike is making us coffee and breakfast. Really nice guy. Got to find a way to pay him back somehow.

10:45. This is an addendum to the last log entry. Moments after we sat down with Mike and Kelly for breakfast, SS made this comment – “I would like to stay here. It’s so peaceful and quiet.”
This is the first time – in like, forever – that I actually AGREE with something he said!
Another instance of something rare happening occurred when we returned to our original campsite. FIL doesn’t seem to be in a good mood and he actually punished Eve(il)
I. Was. Floored!
I have never seen that little girl get punished for anything. To see her being threatened with a punishment and someone actually carrying out the punishment was really a sight to see!
Urm…Weather forecast today is stating that it is supposed to clear up. The kids want to go swimming but there are no dry towels. DW and MIL went to do another load of laundry so hopefully there will be some dry towels for us.
My nose is still running like a faucet, but my throat is no longer scratchy. I am hoping this is just a 24 hour thing. I’m still anxious to get out of here, but at least I am relaxed and I feel confident that the rest of this camping trip will be without incident.
Drac0, this is your future self speaking. You are stupid! You’ll never learn will you? Stop jinxing yourself!
I had a nice chat with DW earlier. I said “I am not doing this ever again with SIL’s kids. They are greedy little bastards. They act like animals. They don’t pick up after themselves. They don’t know how to share. Etc.”. DW is convinced that the problem is just Eve(il). I replied “I agree that she is a BIG part of the problem, but all three of them are a problem and I just don’t want to deal with them.”
Signing off for now.

WHAT were you thinking, saying that??? Are you just DARING the camping gods to come get you?!?!?
Don't know what I was
Don't know what I was thinking when I said that. I think I lost a few brain cells on this trip![Sad](https://prod-cdn-1.ststatic.com/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/kolobok/sad.gif)
