So I went to church on Sunday, not knowing what I was going to be expecting. The first curve ball, was the person they decided to call as the Young Woman's Girls Camp Director. After being told that I would more than likely be getting called to that position, I wasn't. Am I sad about it? Yeah I am in a way, but then again...all things happen for a reason. I don't even know if I am still the assistant camp director. Yes I was called to it and set apart, but was it just for that year or until i am released. If it is the second option, I think I will have to pass. I cant work with the new director. I had issues with her when it came to the ward choir and its something that I don't think I want to put myself through (especially after last years fiasco).
Nursery was definitely different. We had two out of three kids attend. It was quit until our littlest buddy had a horrible accident. He was playing with a toy monster truck and it kinda got a little wild on him. It flipped up and the grill on it hit him hard in the mouth. That little spot in the mouth right above the two front upper teeth. We had blood running down the the other leaders mouth, and this little guys face. Not to mention he has been cutting teeth too! Oh mercy what a way to start the year up.
We also found out that we will have eleven kids in by December of this year. That is a lot of little youngsters but I am excited to get them in there. Right now, like I said before, we have just three kids but come April we will get four more for a total of seven!!! It is definitely a change, but hey....its well worth it! We have awesome kids and they are such a delight (most of the time...lol) and bring the best out in me. It always breaks my heart to see them graduate to Sunbeams.
We do have a lot of fun things planned. A new snack menu and games. New formats and we are hoping for more communication from our Primary Presidency. We seem to be forgotten since we are out in Area 51! My big project that I am working on this month, is making Chunky Crayons!!! Since we have a lot of little kids coming in (18 months) and we do a LOT of coloring and drawing, we like to give them the bigger, fatter crayons. As they like to try and eat them as most kids that age try and do. So I have taken all of our little crayons (and some of my own that I have extra of...and yes...I do own a TON of crayons...thanks to my many different callings that I have had) and melting them into round chunks (muffin tins are the star in this achievement). I have spend most of the night, unwrapping over a hundred crayons and breaking them into little chunks. Let the meltdown begin....TOMORROW!!! I hope.
School starts in a week. I am still waiting for my check from Financial Aid check so I can get my books. They are going to be costing me a nice pretty penny. I am most excited though for my ancient Egypt class. I have always loved learning about the culture and the Pharaohs and what not, it will be my fun (hard) class! It will definitely be a change from my two math classes and Geology/Lab. I know doesn't sound like much fun but hey...its got to be done. Had I paid more attention the first time around, I wouldn't have to retake some of these classes.....GRRR on me.
Anyway, I have got my to do list this week....going to try to crank out some cleaning and organizing, as well as some more personal things like starting my journal up again (yeah i know there are somethings in my life I just cant share on here...sorry people!) and I have made the commitment to read the Old Testament. Wish me luck....
I hope that they year is still treating everyone well and that if it isn't....start kicking its butt!! Take care.....
