We had some parents help move things out of the basement again tonight. Two of the shelves were HEAVY and I have great, great guilt over the work that those strong men did. God. bless. them.
Happy Thursday, everyone.

We have a boy who calls Brownie a ‘skinny pig’. That ought to be enough for a smile today, right?
Tuesday we had a no-go with moving mulch onto the rest of the playground, but we had some wonderful, wonderful, wonderful help getting a bunch of stuff into the building’s basement. God bless them!
Tired now. Off to bed.

Boy. I was up late Sunday night. I worked until 10 and had stupidly drank (drunk?) Pepsi after 6. I came home and was wired. This morning I woke up all sore from climbing up and down a ladder all evening – and tired – so there’s that. Then there was the rage and gratitude thing. Then there was the noisy children thing. Then there was the call from the workers who needed to be inside the building but no one had a key so I left my class and went over to unlock it. Then there were more noisy children. Wait,….same noisy children. Then I realized that the Concordia practicum students (three sets for me) start tomorrow, and also the observers. Then a new staff person came who needed to be trained. Then it started to storm right as we went outside. Then people asked me questions.
….and I snapped.
I was short and rude to a co-worker.
Dang it.
I apologized later, but feel a little bad about it.

Do you count today? Do you count Tuesday? Whatever. We are supposed to be in that building on the 6th of September and life is a wee bit stressful. Sorry for the lack of posts but that is just how it is.
Rage and gratitude. Rage and gratitude. The volunteers who came today were ROCK STARS. It was our first hot day in a while and it was sooooooo humid I was sure everyone was going to die. I had inside jobs to do, so I was also wracked with guilt for not being out there. They are amazing. (However, there could have been 2-3 times as many people and they could have been done in much, much less time.) It is always the same, amazing group with their servant hearts. The world is a better place for them.
That’s all for now.

This weekend is a fun-filled time of work. Hope you have a great Saturday, everyone! 🙂
