I am exhausted!! Its almost like I didn't just get back from a break!! I find myself taking naps during the day, and always ready to sleep. I have been able to get things done fine and feel fine once I'm doing things. But, the minute I have any down time, I'm out! I actually decided today that I am ready for a snow day. I would love a day where I didn't have to leave my house and I could just curl up with Gizmo and watch movies, eat grilled cheese and tomato soup and drink hot chai. Its so ridiculous for me to feel this way, I just got back from Thanksgiving break!!
I think the last few months are catching up to me. It has been an incredibly busy time, coupled with stress that I don't think I realized until recently. I took on a lot of new responsibilities this fall and while I didn't feel really overwhelmed by it all, the pressure that was suddenly on me has taken its toll. That and months of uncertainty as I tried all these new things. I feel like I have been feeling my way through the dark both with AIM and with Kids Club...and that is tiring. I'm excited for our winter break from clubs, which will be here soon!!
In the meantime, I am also excited about everything else that is going on. We found out today that we will get gift cards for the Kids Club gifts next Sunday, giving us 2 days to shop for 200 kids. We actually went out today and bought a few things that were on sale (the sale ends this weekend) and we are hoping for some great sales to start on Sunday. Its going to be a busy few days, but I had fun shopping today so next weekend should be cool too. There are so many details that I am just now figuring out...so this party is going to be interesting. :)
The Kids Club Christmas party and the Prayer Pals Christmas party are 2 of my favorite days of the year, so the work ahead of time will be totally worth it. I have to pick a movie for the kids to watch at the Kids Club Christmas party, and I have 3 options. So, I am going to have Bonita and Linda spend the night on Saturday and will make them watch all 3 and pick the one I should show. :)
Tonight was the God Squad Christmas party and it was a lot of fun. We don't do gifts or anything, but we do decorate the church and spend a lot of time in worship. Sometimes the teens can be so challenging, but that's really because they constantly make me look at myself and see my own sinfulness. Its easy to forget sometimes, but I really do think we have some of the most amazing teens in our ministry.
Tomorrow night is family night, which I always enjoy. This Friday is the Adult Christmas party, which should be really fun and apparently huge this year (I heard we have over 100 adults signed up). I think I will be spending most of my time helping babysit the kids, but its guaranteed to be a fun night for everyone. I did make it to the grocery store this past Saturday, so I will hopefully not have too many errands to run this weekend and can sleep in on Saturday morning. I am loving the sleep!!
And on a completely random note, the man I have always known as my father is in fact my father!! :) I had a blood test done on Friday to find out what my blood type was. My mom and dad are both A positive, so if the blood test came back as anything other than A positive, my mom was going to have some explaining to do, hehe (forget the fact that I look EXACTLY like my dad). :) I got the results today, and I am A positive!!! Whew! :)
