At any rate after one of my oh so famous discussions in my head this morning I realized that I really didn't have the energy to stay up and run. Back to bed I went and continued to sleep...a tad later than I should have. Oh well, I made it to work...eventually. None of us were swamped with work so we had fun chatting in between tasks. I honestly think that my coworker thinks I'm going to be his assistant coach for soccer in the fall. He didn't seem to buy the argument that I need to hang out with people my own age rather than little kids and their parents. In fact my "no baggage" motto was thrown back at me in rebuttal. The work day didn't really fly by but my problematic traveler that I know some of you heard about earlier this week struck again. Of course we didn't know this until 15 minutes before I had to leave and when we couldn't get a hold of him. (Isn't it refreshing to read that this nonsense doesn't only happen at NPS?)
Then it was time for VBS. I was ambushed walking across the courtyard by one of the little girls. She could move in her yellow rain boots. No it wasn't raining but she likes her boots.
Apart from a few behavior issues tonight we did well. It's amazing how just by participating with them how many issues can be resolved. For that reason I made a paper person (she's not done yet though since I was still helping the kids), ran anchor for my relay team, had them practice our song while waiting for dinner, had them play "Katie Says" when we had some time to kill, and yes, did the chicken dance during Undignified. It's totally worth it to see them laugh and mimic. My helpers did a good job too but they just don't seem to want to have as much fun. I guess they are saving it all for Friday?
At any rate, it was another successful night but now it's time to get caught up with real life...like putting away laundry and washing dishes.
"Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you." - Psalms 139:12
