Okay - I just completely freaked out. I had quite a blog going on here, but unfortunately a blend of drifting off & hearing someone screaming, "---- FELL IN THE POOL!!" I immediately jumped up and said, "WHO FELL IN THE POOL?!" (yup, freaked out) I jumped up thinking the worst: Nicholas falling in. Cathy, obviously irritated said, "No one fell into the pool! Someone stepped in poop"
It turns out that Daisey Bella, the cocker spaniel doggie has been having quite a few "accidents" since we've been here. There's been pee...she pooped in the girl's room this morning, and also dropped a load in the hall. *sigh* When Cathy opened the door, Daisey shot out and ran off down the street. Danielle was able to save the day by catching her at the neighbor's house. No more excitement please! Now we have a little doggie being punished by being sent to her room! (the kennel)
Having said that....
Today was the first day of VBS here at Cathy's church. Just like every year, I look forward to this week. It's a lot of fun, but I especially love being here with Cathy & Guy and the girls! :)
I honestly couldn't fall asleep last night...the biggest reason being I honestly didn't know what was going on!! Anyone who really knows me, that is one of those things I don't do: Go boldly where no one has gone before! Nope, not me...I like to KNOW everything about what is going to happen, what is going to be involved, etc etc. I need to know!
When I showed up, I had NO IDEA what my herd name was (Blossom's Buddies...or something like that) See, I really didn't know everything that was going on because being in Maine, I wasn't up to speed with everything. My herd leader called me ONCE a couple of months ago and that was the last of it!! She told me that she tried to email me information, but it was coming back. Hmmmmm..... interesting. My phone was still working though.
Once I got a hold of the main information that I needed - I was able to grab my standard issue back pack which includes; pencils, pencil sharpener, name tags, curriculum and that sorta thing. I also grabbed my photo i.d. from last year & took a look at the "staff" shirts. One of which was supposed to be set aside for me. Unfortunately....someone scoffed it and now I have large size tee, which looks dorky.
The first couple of minutes my head wasn't in it...mostly because I wasn't quite in-the-zone. By the time the first few songs were finished, my head was moving along. Katherine had to be one of the first audience "helpers" so she got a CD which doesn't surprise me. I KNOW the rain didn't help with my funk this morning. Blech. BUT It was nice to see the sun come out for about a half-hour....the kids decided to hit the pool! Yes, yes they did.
I'm hoping that tomorrow will be beautiful and sunny!!!
