I spent the entire day Monday painting primer on 4 king size bed sheets and I am so sore, I can hardly move. Why was I painting primer on bed sheets? Well, for VBS, of course. We are painting all of the scenery and decorations on sheets, so that at the end of the week we can fold everything and store it in a box to use for next year. No bulky refrigerator boxes for us to have to deal with. Anyway, I spent all day positioning myself in ways I haven't had to in a long time, especially for an extended length of time. So, now I have to go back over to the church tonight and do more painting. But, this time other people will be there to help me. Some clever person is going to have to figure out a way to paint the scenes on the sheets in some way other than the floor. The sheets are entirely too large to paint while sitting in the floor. A person has to stand over it and bend over to paint. Try doing that all day.<br /><br />You know, this is all my fault. I'm the one who suggested it. Why can't I just keep my mouth shut? What is wrong with me? I'm always getting myself into situations like this. Am I the only one? Are there others out there who open their big mouths and then get stuck with the consequences? It is all for a good purpose, but I wonder if the kids really care about the scenery and decorations. I have to say though, that it would all be worth the aggrevation and pain if I could get all of the VBS teachers to come dressed in Bible costumes everyday that week. You know, robes and flip flops.<br /><br />OK, so I promise. This is the last time I will post about VBS. No matter how stressed I get before the big week, which is the week right before my next show, I will not vent to you good and faithful people - all ten of you. I'll keep my frustrations to myself and post pictures of daisies and butterflies. Well, no daisies and butterflies, but I will try to keep it light. I am working on some new charms and crosses for the show in July. I'll try to post pictures as I finish the pieces.<br /><br />Today I am grateful for a couple of hours away from the house, even if was just grocery shopping and people who are willing to help.<br /><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2386453-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script>About Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02818852055915149559noreply@blogger.com
