VBS Day 2

Remember I told you that I'm in charge of snacks at VBS this year? Well. I am...and things are going fairly well....except for the woman that is complaining about the snacks! With the help of my friend Mary (who refuses to blog), we have planned good and healthy snacks. We have several kids with allergies so we've been extra careful with snacks and in all honesty, I think our choices have been good.

So, I guess I'm a big fuddy duddy because one of the adults has complained about the snacks. I'm so sorry...I really should have filled your child with lots of sugars and such so they could experience the sugar high and then have a meltdown in the parking lot. I mean really, did I really hear her suggest that sweets be given to her child?? She's a grandmother...I say take him home and stuff him full of your sweet baked goodness and please forgive me for feeding your grandson grapes and string cheese...oh the horrors!

There's always someone isn't there? I'm sticking to my plan though...we're serving healthy snacks. If your wondering about the grandmother, I helped her fill a ziploc bag with sweets from the "teacher table"....sigh....

Obviously, I need to check my attitude...or maybe I just need a nap!

And I see I've erased my signature again...sigh....

Tired,,,

VBS is this week.....and I'm already beat!~ What's the deal with that? I think it must be too much stimulation for me because I come home and crash like I've been working for seven days straight!

This year I'm working in a different area...snacks. I have to put together snacks for both the kids and the teachers. I have a great team of people and everyone worked well together. We served grapes and string cheese to the kids and the teachers got veggies, brownies, spinach dip, etc. So, really, it's not that hard...but I'm still wiped out...sigh....I guess I'm getting old! lol!

Tomorrow we are going to be serving the teachers breads and pastries from Atlanta Bread Company. Since ABC bakes fresh daily, they get rid of their baked goods when they close. Isn't that neat?! Mary (who refuses to blog!) arranged all of that...she's neat too! I told her to save me one of those yummy chocolate pastries...those are my favorite.

In a little while, Pete and I are going to a writer's workshop being hosted by a local author. She'll be sharing with us all the ins and outs of writing and getting published. She said that she would be available to read and critique but I'm not quite there yet....I pretty much know that my NaNoWriMo novel is not ready to be critiqued because I haven't actually started on the first draft! lol!!

I'm tired....I need a nap.....
