VBS is going to kill me.

I love Vacation Bible School.  I really do, but today was our 3rd day and I'm not sure if I'll make it to day 5.  It is from 6-9pm and I have to be at work at 10pm til 7am (yep, I work night shift) I try to get to VBS early so I have been getting up around 4pm.  It's killing me.  Now, those of you who work days may be thinking what's the problem?  I'll explain, imagine getting up at 4:00 in the morning and heading off to VBS with 10, (very active) first graders for 3 hours and then going to work for 9 hours.  It is exhausting.  I was so out of it last night at VBS I had gathered up my kids and were headed out of the sanctuary with the 3 & 4 year olds.  The director was like, First Graders, where are you going?  All I could do was shrug my shoulders and say I have no idea.  We all returned to our seats.  How embarassing!  Praise the Lord I didn't lose any kids! 

Anyway, my low carb diet is in its 2nd week and going rather well I have to admit.  I have eggs and sausage for breakfast, hamburger patty, yogurt, sf jello and cheese for lunch and for dinner an Atkins shake and maybe some cheese.  My liver should be the size of a 4 year olds by the time I get to surgery.  I am also happy to report that I am down about 6 lbs!  Whoo Hoo!  Of course I am so tired and sluggish from lack of sleep this week that I can't really appreciate it.  It is getting closer every day and I am so excited!  The doctors office emailed me on Tuesday and wanted to know if I could come in on Wednesday at 8am to meet with the doctor.  I hope she means next Wednesday, the 23rd.  That would be doable, this week...it ain't gonna happen.  The fact that live 2 hours from the doctors office, I work til 7am and with VBS this week that would be a negative.  I thought about saying yes for about 2 minutes and then I was like are you crazy?  You are already tired, do I really want to drive 4 hours round trip and wait God knows how long on the doctor.  I will pass out riding down the road!  Nope, not gonna happen this week.  I really hope it's next week. 

Well, that's about all I got.  I can't wait to be a bandster.
