It's over!

The long 3 weeks is over - everyone's back from their cruise and I am not in charge anymore! This week it's going to be all about the kids - I need to really start concentrating on the children's ministry stuff and just forget all the rest of it. I can't do it all. I hate to tell them that I'm not going to do the finance stuff but it's really cutting into my ability to really get the children's ministry up and running where I want it to be. DH thinks I should wait a week or two to decide since I didn't really have any time at the job before running the entire place was thrust at me. We'll see - I need to set up a teacher's meeting, a children's church workers meeting, go through the children's church curriculum, gut my office and reorganize everything for filing, clean out and stock a cupboard for children's church and for one sunday school class, and finish planning harvest festival. Never mind the weekly stuff that needs to get done too - lesson for awana, planning ss games, songs, etc. *sigh*

I've started to get my office set up so that's exciting - at least I've got my picture hung on the wall. I still need something else on the other wall but at least it's a start.

Tomorrow will be the first day in dd's class for art. I'm looking forward to it - it should be lots of fun!! DS's teacher is going to be out again tomorrow - bummer. He really doesn't like this sub. DS was dealing with a bully again - thankfully we seem to have gotten it taken care of. In the process I learned that I'm not doing as bad of a job as a Mom as I thought I was. The principal called me and told me what a nice, polite, kind child he was - we as parents have a tendency to see the things we don't like and wish we could change about our kids, it was a good lesson for me to look at the positive and see that he really is a good kid.

I've been sleeping horribly and I'd love to take a nap. But dh just went up and went to bed - which isn't really fair since he's been staying up until all hours of the night playing video games - so if you CHOOSE to not sleep then I don't have any sympathy for you. I on the other hand physically have been UNABLE to sleep - I think that warrants a nap for ME! *sigh* Maybe I'll try resting in the recliner - I can't go get in bed too since the kids are still up, and besides dh snores horribly and I wouldn't get any rest anyway. I can hear him right now and I'm downstairs and he's upstairs.

Only 16 days until Harvest Festival - I'll be soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy when it's over!!
