Moving into high gear

We had a great weekend in Branson. Good food and lots of fun. We stayed at a nice hotel, but no matter how nice it is I never sleep well away from home. I am glad to be back in my own bed. Since we came back we have been busy with school projects. My youngest daughter just had a product market at school. A product market is where kids make items and sell them for fake money. They also earn this “money” throughout the year for things like good behavior and good grades. Anyway they can use this “money” plus the money they make selling their wares to buy things from their friends at the product market. It is very fun for the kids. Of course B is only in 3rd grade so a lot of the responsibility falls on me. Reluctantly, I helped make the pencil toppers and survived it. VBG!! Helping with school projects and I don’t really mix. . I don’t volunteer for or do anything that will make me “involved” at school. I don’t attend PTA meetings or help at parties. I will send a bag of chips occasionally but that is as involved as I get. Both my girls make good grades and stay out of trouble so it is easy for me to avoid actually having to go into the school. Okay, I am not a total grump, I do attend parent teacher conferences and assemblies. LOL!!

Tuesday we had a Transformations Ministries meeting regarding the upcoming Women’s conference. My oldest daughter is going to help with conference so she attended the meeting with me. We are putting the final details into place. Now the work begins. I just received the first installment of lyrics for the Power point slides that the Praise leader is going to use. I think this year’s conference will be a great success. We are hoping to have around 250 women there this year. This is a ministry that I have been with for many years now but despite my involvement, only one of my friends and none of my family ever attend. So I never sell any tickets for it. How sad is that? I always tell Kathy, I will take a few tickets but it doesn’t do any good because I don’t have any friends!! Sure enough I bring back all but one of the tickets every year. Oh well maybe this year someone else I know will come. Don’t worry, I won’t hold my breath. LOL!!

Have a great weekend.
