Tonight was the calmest night yet at VBS. We had a very small number of new kids, from my perspective I guess that is why. I have spent most of my time keeping the security team on schedule. The classes are about big enough that we would like to have a class for each grade. Of course that would take twice the number of volunteers. My kids have been having a great time :) The good things are still good, the bad things are still bad, except the parents all know the system now and that has eased some of the check in/out strain.
Someone saw me bustling around and admonished me to "delegate", I know I have micromanaged some parts, but I really feel like now I am not doing anything that is not administrative. I think it is hard to transition back and forth from a team mentality and being on my own at home all day (although we sometimes strike a team balance at home too). Also, up until the last week before VBS, I did a lot of the planning and preparing on my own.
Here is what's left. I have to buy ice cream. Lots of ice cream. And I have to do some volunteer appreciating. Fortunately, the most unexpected volunteer is helping me coordinate this. And then there's follow up...well. Let's take one thing at a time!
