Life's Been Busy

It has been awhile since I last blogged - but I can see that it has been awhile for others as well - must be the busyness of summer.

Made a quick trip to Calgary and, on my way back, picked up my sister and father who are now staying with us. It is nice to have them around.

This week is VBS, opps - Bible Day Camp... I am leading praise and worship at the beginning and end of the day using some great songs provided by Group Publishing. Can I just say - I really love doing that. I don't much enjoy teaching Sunday School, or even helping kids one or one, but I really enjoy leading praise and worship - especially in this format where I feel free to move.

I am also avoiding my bill-paying job. I am officially on vacation this week, but there are a number of things I need to get done anyway. I am feeling stress at not getting them done, but also feeling resentful of having to do them. I am stressed about our company's financial situation. I am stressed about my personal financial situation. There isn't anything major, it's just that I don't feel like things are as good as they should be. My horoscope (or horrer-scope) says I need to ask for help and I'll get it - but (besides the fact that I don't believe in horoscopes) I don't really know who to ask - or even what to ask.

What I would really, really like is to have some big $$ fall in my lap so I can give some to my parents who helped us out so much with the house and then pay off some of the debt we have and be free to put savings aside for our trip to Disney World... I keep telling myself to not make plans until we have this debt paid off, and I do a good job for a month or two... but then things come up - a bike repair, a pool repair, a house repair, a quick trip - or in July's case, all four! I feel so irresponsible.

I also feel like I really don't want the job I have. There are so many things I really like about it, but a couple major things that I really don't like about it just really drag me down... I feel like I am always on call, even when I am on vacation. I miss having one person who is my boss, instead of 5 people who don't agree with eachother as a rule. I don't know what I really want - but maybe it is just time for a vacation. Often when i get like this, i need a break, then I come back refreshed.

Well, this has been long - and i appolgise for the delay since my last post. I've been busy!
