CAMP DIRECTOR WHAT!?!?

Okay, So I have been hounded about my lack of blogging by those I know, I am sorry and I will post some of the things that we have been up to very soon. Let me tell you my current dilemma, I am the Nursery Leader and now I am also the YW Camp Director. I know, I know, I can hear you all laughing now. Brian could hardly keep his composure when they asked me. How in the world do you get these two callings!! Have I done somthing wrong? Just tell me and I will change my ways, I'll stop yelling at my kids, I'll stop drinking soda, anything just tell me how I got stuck with changing nature and then going out in it!! I think the last time I went camping it was for Girls Camp!!! What in the world do I know about tying knots and lashing, starting fires with out matches and solar cooking! This is way out of my league. For havens sake, I flat iron my hair everyday and never go out without my makeup on. Camp is SIX days and we are only allowed ONE shower, even as a leader! WHAT!!! I have in the past told Brian, "We should going camping, Dax would really like it." His response, "He would! But my kind of camping is a hotel with a pool and 18 holes out the window." So now I am the camp director and have no idea how to camp! Then they told me that I have until April 1st to have the cheer, chant, skit, decorations and banner ready for Stake Psych Night. I am hoping that is when they say "SYCH - did you really think that you are going to be the director?" Brian told me not to get my hopes up. But there is a loophole I learned.......If you are pregnant in any way shape or form, you are not allowed to be at camp!! Tempting!??!? Brian told me to get my butt up to camp. If if you have any great ideas or any consoling words let me know I am begging for some inspiration from those that I lean on. Wish me luck!!!!

    I am laughing because I know how you feel. I already have anxiety about going too. But I don't have to. You will do fine. Girls camp is all about having fun, and bringing some spirit with it and you will be great. The girls will LOVE you. If you need some ideas let me know. Our theme is friendship this year.

    The shower thing, take it right in the middle. Invest in lots of baby wipes, and no one ever said you couldn't take a sponge bath. Warm some water, put it in a bucket. Get naked in your tent and you have a good sponge bath the other days. Also invest in a hat or a cute bandana for the bad hair days. You'll be great.

    You are cracking me up! I was just called as our Stake Camp Director. It's fun, but quite overwhelming! Just put your hair in braids and enjoy being grubby with everyone else! Luckily, we can shower as much as we want! I don't know what to do with my hair though! I think I'm gonna have to go short again! :)
    p.s It's good to see what you guys are up to!
