Whew!

Whew! What a week!  Those are the primary words that come to mind today.  It has been just a crazy week.  I've been 'in charge"...or the 'organizer' for VBS for the last three or four years, and this year has been, by far and away, the very hardest week EVER.  I know a lot of it just comes down straight to me....I just haven't been into it this year...which I find disturbing, because I have LOVED VBS in the past.  Things have gone well enough this week, nothing really comes to mind that makes me think that something has gone wrong, or spoiled the activities...I also think the kids have had a good time  I can't help feeling, however, that I have failed somewhere.  I' don't think I've necessarily discovered it yet, ....

I feel like I need about a two or three day period to just SLEEP....I know that I wouldn't be able to do that....my body doesn't let me sleep past when I usually wake up in the morning, but it sure sounds inviting. I hope I get some tme to veg this weekend.  The only problem....my house is a pigsty from neglect this week. I did clean up the kitchen this morning and cleared off the dining room table that had been the catch all all week.  Now I need to sweep, vacuum and dust, and that will help.    ...oh, and do laundry...geesh...I have quite a bit of it done, because I've been able to at least transfer clothes fto washer, to dryer, but that's usually as far as it goes...then it sits in the clothes basket....or if it does come out, then it is stacked in another clothesbasket, and we've been living out of them. I need to have some time to put clothes away, too.  DRUDGERY!!!....

Swimming Lessons Summer 2011

I have ended up having a little fish on my hands.  The child who would not even put her head/face in the water at the beginning of last summer, is more than willing to spend most of her time in the pool, going under and back up, under and back up, etc.   She LOVES swimming. 

Allison took lessons this summer from Stephanie, a local girl who just graduated from high school this past May.  Stephanie is Wonderful!  She is so sweet and a really good role model for Allison.  We will miss Stephanie as she moved to California to go to college right after we were finished with lessons.  

I am really proud of Allison...she does a really good job in the water. She loves swimming. Oftentimes anymore I wonder if we had an indoor pool where she could swim year round, would that be something that she could/would do on a more serious competitive manner or is she too young to even think about that?
