I just got done with a week of teaching/helping with VBS. It’s the first time I’ve had to take a serious nap after VBS in the morning and that I’ve been asleep before 10:30 in a long time. The program last night was good — I just would have preferred to leave the reception earlier. Unfortunately my laptop was being used for the slideshow of pictures and I don’t trust just anyone with it.

VBS was fun — just really tiring. Yesterday, my job was taking pictures of the preschoolers and just being with them (only 4 kids but enough energy to power a small city) for an hour had me ready for a long nap. The rest of the days were just kind of intense, especially Wednesday when my camera batteries died and I had to run to town (in the middle of road construction no less) to get working ones. I got the day’s pictures taken and the Powerpoint presentation done but it was pretty crazy. (My job was “Spotlight Drama” where I took pictures of the kids in certain poses and plugged them into Powerpoint.)

Yesterday, I was a bad Jen and had a coconut crunch shake thingie in town and had some neapolitan ice cream at the reception. (It was just two scoops unlike the 6-8 that the kids were eating.) Let me just say that it was the best ice cream I’ve had in forever and I actually felt *good* after eating it. I think I might need to relax a little bit on the “diabetic diet” if both of those actually made feel normal and not cranky or like I wanted to go to sleep. (Then again… I haven’t exactly had the most normal and quiet two weeks here.)

I got to sleep in until 10 this morning for the first time in… 2 weeks. It was so nice to not have an evil beeping thing wake me up. I finally got to watch the episode of Mythbusters that kept putting me to sleep (grenades, self-hypnosis, and exploding stomachs) as well as “Saved!” for the first time. (I think it was Oxygen or one of the women’s networks that was showing it all week.) “Saved!” was… kind of freaky. It was like “Clueless” but in a freaky born-again Christian way.
