Where did July go?

Today is the 23rd of July. Of the 23 days this month I have only been home for 9 of them. Of the remaining 8 day in the month I will only be here for 3 of those. I am worn out and I am sure that it is only going to get worse by the time the month is over.

We made a quick trip in for Grandma Rasmussen's birthday party on July 12. We found out only a couple days before the party but I felt the need to go in and see her. I was very glad that I did. By doing this we were able to drop the kids off at Spencer's sisters where they spent the week we were gone to UREA Youth Camp. It made it easier to get there on Monday, but made it a little more difficult to get them home. The teens that we took to the camp were great. When I wasn't suffering from lack of sleep I also had a wonderful time. The only bad thing was that it was the first time Spencer and I had been away from the kids and we were in different rooms. Next week I will be at girls camp. Three of the girls that were at the UREA camp will also be at girls camp. I really am looking forward to going to girls camp. It helps that one of my friends is the camp director and the district young women's president is also my friend. It is going to be fun. However, Heather is lucky I told her that I could go. She called me Friday as I was on my way home from the Youth camp to ask if I would be able to go. I hadn't gotten a full night sleep in a week. I hadn't even made it home and she wanted to know if I would be willing to go to girls camp. She had been asking for the last two months if I wanted to go, but I really didn't think that I would be able to go and she had found enough ladies to go that I wasn't needed. And then last week she had two leaders cancel on her. I kind of had the feeling when she was teasing that I would end up at camp.
