Ramblings . . .

16 more days of school. YEA YEA YEA!!! Not 100% sure the boy child is going to pass but I think we at least don't have any D's right now. I should probably check with the teacher this week. Girl child is doing fine and happy to be going to first grade soon. Open house is this week. Just something else to do since I've seen the classrooms already. The last band performance for ds too - that should be fun.

Children's camp is just around the corner - I'm paralyzed with an inability to figure out what to do for a boys counselor. Either my dh agrees to go and I figure out what to do with dd, or my dh doesn't agree to go and I still figure out what to do with her during the day plus figure out who should go in his place. I also need a new Sunday School teacher and am paralyzed with the inability to figure that out too! Not to mention VBS - not enough workers for sure and again am paralyzed with the inability to figure out what to do about it. I feel like a total idiot - why can't I figure out how to make these programs work? I have great ideas but no way of implementing them or not enough support to do so. I guess I just have to go start asking people - part of my problem is wanting to be choosy about the people I ask. Maybe beggar's can't be choosy but that's just a SAD way to run a children's ministry!!

Offered my Sunday School teachers the chance at a conference - they all "hemmed and hawed" about it. Whatever. They complained about not getting to go to one before and now they complain about getting to go to one. Annoying.

Baseball is almost over. Playoffs have started so we shouldn't have more than 2 or 3 games left. Softball thankfully is over so that's one less thing to worry about.

The church started a 10 great dates program - only have had one date so far but it was fun and I'm really looking forward to the next 9. Of course I'm going to have to pay a babysitter an arm and a leg to watch the kids, but it's totally worth it to get into the habit of having a once a week date. It's just irritating to have so much family around and not be able to count on any of them. I hope I remember this feeling for when my grandkids are born. I plan on offering to babysit quite regularly!! Hopefully my kids still like me enough to allow me to do so!!

What else was I going to ramble about? Who knows, it's escaped my mind.

Have a great Wednesday!
