Septermber 17, 2009 (Thursday)

Today was crazy! We had our scholar class which has been changed to Thursdays now. Scouts and Activity Days have also been changed to Thursdays. I am over all the scouts because I'm in the Primary Presidency and I'm the Activity Days leader. I'm not sure how all of that happened. We are still having bumpy start getting scouts going this year so it's been a fiasco. I've been subbing in there on weeks when I'm not working with the girls. We also had a meeting after wards to plan pack meeting.

We did not have Mom School today. We did buy a new saddle today so we are making progress on our "let's own 82 acres and be ranchers plan." One thing at a time right?
