Sunday, a day of rest

I finally made it to the end of VBS, and boy am I glad. We had a great week with just over 300 teachers & students in attendance. Friday was a blur, with it being clean-up from VBS, set up for Family Night, & then break down that night. If you don't know, part of my job as preschool director is setting up the entire annex for preschool VBS because the daycare still operates all week in the regular preschool classrooms. So I have to clear those annex rooms out before I start on Family Night preparations.

I did myself a favor this year, and I simplified everything. It's a good thing too. With is being just a degree or two shy of 100 degrees Friday, being outside hauling things was atrocious. By the end of Family Night I was feeling nauseous and ended up sick to my stomach that night. I felt bad leaving a VBS mess on the front preschool desk, but I was very ill. At the time I thought it was heat exhaustion, but since then I've found out that it was a stomach virus. My poor sweetheart is home sick with it now. I caught it at the daycare, of course. I've talked to church & daycare people today, and I found out about almost a dozen people who had the same thing this weekend.

I spent Saturday being thoroughly exhausted, but I was at least able to sort & reorganize my purse (It was much needed), do some laundry, fix some things for Father's Day lunch the next day, & clean out my car. I also took the time to do some yoga which helped to energize me a bit, and it also took care of some of my aching muscles.

Highlights of my week were interacting with my preschool teachers who did a fantastic job. Working along with our hardworking church staff. Being with great workers for Family Night who cleaned up that night while I was inside feeling sick. Eating in the teacher's lounge (of course!). Playing in Miss Liz's water day on Thursday (I'll post a few pictures later). And, getting a few kudos along the way from teachers on the crafts & pictures I prepared for them. I respond well to positive reinforcement. Must be working with the preschoolers. lol.

Today would be a great day if my honey wasn't so sick at home right now. I wanted to stay home with him, but Sunday is one of my "work" days since I am church staff. I stayed in the preschool and directed visitors to classes, talked to our Sunday School teachers, and sorted VBS supplies. This afternoon was a fantastic Father's Day lunch at Mamaw's with hamburgers, cole slaw, deviled eggs, potato salad, baked beans, fries, & brownies with Mayfield ice cream (and caramel & Hershey's Syrup). The potato salad, baked beans, fries, & brownies were supplied by Josh & myself. After that Kimmie (my sister) & I went to Kohl's to look at the clearance racks. I got a sweater, long sleeved tee, & short sleeved tee for about $12.25. Yipee! I love good deals. After that I traveled over to Wal-Mart to buy a few things, and now here I am killing just enough time before keeping kids tonight.

With that said, I'm off to prepare a craft for tonight. Hope you have had a great weekend!
