Anna and I are in the last week of school 'til January. Yay! It's week 14 and we're ready to be done. We're doing a short week, so that's a good thing. We have lots of Christmas puttering to attend to, as well as reading by the fire, sipping cups of tea or cider.
Last night during her dance class, I walked through town to the ice cream store to pick up the gift cards for the teen/tween helpers who work at our church nursery. That's the last time I'll be doing that! My two terms are up, and like Queen Amidala, I'm relieved.
It'll be kind of weird and a bit sad to not be in charge of it anymore. It's been over four years (my predecessor gave it over to me some time before her term ended). I've put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the position. But, it will be nice to have somebody else stress over the nursery scheduling and staffing!
My final board meeting is tomorrow night (thought it was next week--ack!). The board is filled with good people whom I enjoy spending time with, but again, nice to have one big thing off my plate. The last four years I've done this A LOT has happened. I lost two babies, one mother, and 100 pounds (and gained back 50). I have educated my academically gifted daughter and helped my husband finish graduate school. I'M TIRED. And, I have more uphill, rugged road ahead of me as I try to find out and fix what's wrong with me physically.
It's time to move on and let somebody else paddle the canoe at church for awhile. But, I'm not giving it all up. There's still VBS. :)
