Type A and Tired

I'm a Type A person. I admit it. I can't help myself. I don't know if this was a result of being the first child in my family, genetics or simply training, but I feel like I am busy all the time. I actually get nervous with free-time. This week is a case in point ----- yeah, keep reading. So it has been another busy week at our house. On top of the usual work stuff, we have had cross-country with Maren, confirmation class with Maren, driving with Lane, kindergarten homework with Reed, I worked a local college night for Lorna's company ACT, Inc. and I ran a concession stand for over three hours at my school's first social of the year. Whew! Said concession stand fed like a million middle schoolers or at least it seemed that way. I schlepped pizza, soda, popcorn, dill pickles and lots of candy --- you know all the major food groups for my art club. It's a great way to make major money in a short time period, but alot of work on the adult sponsor. I was a bit tired at the end. Can't stop however......

I spent this morning working at our church site (Holy Ground) helping get ready for our first Fall Festival. Now if you read my brother-in-law's blog, you will note that he is also getting ready for a church fall festival too. However, I know he doesn't get to play with gigantic chippers that can suck a tree and make cool mulch or off-load about a trillion hay bales for a hay maze. No, this is not your mother's Fall Festival, this is a major event happening over three weeks. There are performing groups, a pumpkin patch, story times and the blessed hay maze along with concessions, and a ton of other stuff. We are preparing for between 2000-3000 attendees. Yea, there is lots of chipping still to be done, grass to whack and cacti to dig up, and much, much more.

So we're a little busy at the moment. Life doesn't get dull. Speaking of excitement, did I mention I have been working with Lane on driving? Now there is fodder for a blog post, yessiree. Later, I got stuff to do.
