Work hard

The first week of Sunday School has passed. Woot! Now that all the formalities are outta the way, it's time to really get crackin' on lessons and events going on throughout the year. Just this month, we have the freshman initiation for youth group. The kids seem excited, and it makes me excited to see them that way :)

Next month, we have an outdoor Mass, a church bazaar, a career fair, and a choir concert which my kids will be performing in. (*EXCITING*)!! Ahh.. I've been looking forward to this for the latter part of the summer, and now that it's here, I don't know what to do with myself. There is so much work to be done, and I love being constantly busy. It really helps with keeping my mind off of things and whatnot.

On another note, I've been sleeping so well lately. :) har har. My "sleeping drug" has ceased to be drinking every night. That makes me sound like I have horrible issues, but it wasn't that bad. Now that things are heading in a completely different direction, I am falling asleep without the aid of ANYTHING tangible. :)

GoGoSSing

Um... what can I say? I'm excited? I'm happy? I'm... nervous? I don't know. Everything is changing really fast. Or, a lot of things changed all at once and I am realizing them quickly one right after the other. Through a cup of tea, a quiet library and a relaxing dinner, my heart is ready to Go Go SSing! :)

New

Labor Day weekend was great for me. Met some really great new people, got to know some old ones better...all in all, a perfect getaway from the people that I don't want to see or think about right now.

I didn't expect to feel so welcomed, but I was. I didn't expect them to all be good people, but they were. I didn't expect to feel so independently able to connect with them, but I did.

I learned this past weekend that my first impressions (almost always right) might also sometimes turn out to be wrong. I'm thankful for that. I went expecting nothing, and gained everything. :)

Good people, good times, and many more memories to come. I'm looking forward to them all.

Complicated

A good friend recently told me that some things are worth the risk. Even if the chances are slim and you know that the consequences will most likely be bad, the one good outcome is worth all the risk you take to get there. I know this is true, but it is still hard to bring myself to take the necessary steps. I feel ready to burst with the amount of feelings I have...but I would probably burst if I said something and nothing good came from it. :T It took me awhile to be able to feel anything close to any emotion this strong, but now that I do, I almost wish I was back to feeling like a zombie and not wanting anything from anybody. Always the wrong people at the wrong times...This must be life. :)
