Good Morning!
One more day 'till turkey day!! I'm looking forward to the parade and the dog show!
Well, easy child did break up with her boyfriend the other night. She said they both cried for a while, but he understood where she was coming from. They agreed to stop "going out", but will continue to touch base. I am proud of my daughter. Learning to be a strong woman and stand up for yourself early is a great thing.
Adrianne, you asked about my teen SS service projects. We are doing two this year. Next Saturday (6th) we are having a community "Santa Breakfast" at our church. It is an outreach program for the community. Since we are a city church, we do have a miriad of community needs. This will be a pancake and sausage free breakfast and Santa will be there! We will take free pics of the kids with Santa as a keepsake. My kids have come up with a craft for the children to work on between breakfast and waiting for their turn with Santa, two will be taking the pics, and they will be in charge of "line control". This is a program put on by our church in society department, but my class is using this as one of their Advent service projects. The second will be a children's Nativity Procession to begin our Christmas Eve service. My class will be passing out flyers in the local neighborhood, inviting families to our intergeneral service. All children who come (and there will be a lot of member's families in town with children as well) will be given a simple costume. The children will process in to begin the service, sing a song, and then one of the girls in my class will read them the Christmas Story from a children's bible. Then they will pass out little battery candles, the lights will dim, and the children will process out while the choir sings. So this Sunday afternoon we will have a marathon session to get things ready. We will put the craft together for next Sat, and make the costumes for Christmas Eve (in the past, they have adopted a needy family, planned and executed a fundraiser, then gone shopping - this year though, all the students are seniors but one - they are really busy with college visits, college apps, etc. These two projects don't require as much time, but will be meaningful for those involved).
I'm hitting the office this morning for payroll instead of the gym! Since difficult child gets out at 11:45, I can't do both. But, easy child and I will hit the gym at 2 (a real quiet time) and do the weights and then go into the pool and swim laps. Gotta prepare for the stuffing, which is my fav Thanksgiving food (ok, the pumpkin pie ain't so bad either).
Have a great Wednesday all!
