I'm Breathing Again

SERVE is finished! It was great. The kids this year just, well, obeyed!! A nice change from last year. However, it certainly isn't a week that produced as many stories that we will be laughing about a year from now. I guess that is the pros and cons of having obedient kids versus mischevious ones. The latter provides much more excitement and laughter (after the fact.).

All in all it went really good. One of the organizations we worked at was Redlands Family Services. I talked to the volunteer coordinator today. He is writing an article about the SERVE kids for their newsletter. He was so impressed with them and they whole organization and mission behind Youth Unlimited. Really cool to know that we helped facilitate that. If you want to see some pictures you can go to www.redlandsserve.blogspot.com.

I was so tired after the week. Left church about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. Took a nap that afternoon which got me through the rest of the day. Went to church on Sunday but probably should have stayed home. I was so tired and couldn't concentrate on anything or even sing. When we got home about 11:00, I went to take a nap and woke up 2 1/2 hours later. Fell asleep reading on the couch at 7:00 that night and didn't wake until 7:30 the next morning. Fortunately, that caught me up on my sleep.

But then this week has been so busy with work. First I had to catch up because I didn't work last week and also one of my clients wanted me to work as much as possible this week. Ughh... My heart wasn't in it. I did work quite a bit but am now done for the week.

Which is good because I was starting to stress about the fact that we are camping all next week at the beach! Cannot wait to get out of the hot weather and go to South Carlsbad. But first have to do all the cleaning around the house (that hasn't been done for a month!! - yes, I know - it is gross.), laundry, grocery shopping, etc., etc., etc., etc....... But it will all be worth it. In a couple of days I'll be on the beach, reading a book with a glass of wine. Lovely.
