It's only Tuesday, but Friday's a-comin'!

Is it bad that it is Tuesday evening and I feel like I have been hit by a truck? To sum it all up:

*I got my computer back, virus free...YAY!!!!

*The only files our techie could recover were 2-3 from August of 2006...BOO!!!

*I have some fantastic parents in my church who are helping me out by e-mailing me their kids' grades and birthdays [I'm smart, but not enough to remember 70-80 birthdays!]....YAY!!!!

*Because my computer has been completely rebuilt, I am no longer on our network and cannot print things, and both our techies are out of town this week...BOO!!!

*We are currently without a youth pastor, which means I can e-mail myself any files I need to print, run next door, and print them from the computer in the empty office...YAY!!!

*That computer is a slow-as-molasses dinosaur that kicks me off frequently, and it is taking me twice as long to get anything accomplished...BOO!!!

Some more positive things from the past couple of weeks:

*I recruited three more preschool leaders, almost completely filling the Sunday morning schedule [from what I'm told, if I completely fill it up, this will be the first time in the history of our church that this has occurred!!].

*The first night of Mega Sports Camp is tomorrow, and I am really excited about it.

*I am also super excited about our outreach on Saturday [well, not just OURS...our church is participating in it], in which we are handing out free backpacks and school supplies to kids in the community.

*I am exhausted, but in a good way - I feel like I am actually getting things accomplished this week - making contacts, improving the way I do things, all that good stuff! This is a drastic difference from the way I was feeling a few weeks ago, and I'm really happy to be back in the game emotionally!

Pray for...

*It feels like I have a never-ending "to do list" that keeps increasing at it decreases, and it's all stuff that NEEDS to get done ASAP. Pray that I do not stress out about it, and that it all gets done.

*My sinuses are not doing well right now - I do not know if it is a cold that I'm coming down with or my allergies acting up. Either way, it's the same effect. I need to feel better, and I need to be at the top of my game tomorrow, Thursday night [backpack stuffing and volunteer meeting...it's going to be a LATE night!!!], and Saturday.

Thank goodness for Fridays - Friday night is "set up night" at the site of the festival, but I am probably not going to go, since every time I try to help set anything up, no one lets me do anything because I'm a girl, and I end up sitting there not doing anything. I have decided that, this time around, instead of trying to make a feminist statement and insist on helping, to just let the guys do their thing and stay home in my bed.

And on that note, my nails are crying for some polish, and my exhausted body is begging me to wind down for the day...
