My legs are very sore today! It turns out that the “couple of hours” of work that Chris (the lady who heads up the painting) needed done took me about 4 hours total. The VBS set for our church is huge (floor to ceiling) and so I was working on 4×8 sheets of cardboard that needed to have the outline of pedestals traced onto them. Evenutally they’ll be painted to look like a stone fence on the stage, but the tracing had to be done first. So I stood, leaning over a table, tracing this pattern a total of 56 times! <\/p>\n
Actually, I really enjoy helping out this way. It’s fun to chat with Chris and others at the church, and I know it’s something that I can do that doesn’t require me taking small children to the potty during<\/span> VBS! And except for the fact that for the rest of the day my knees just ached and today, I’m a tad bit sore…it was a good time. Tomorrow, I’ll go back and actually do some painting, I think. Should be fun.<\/p>\n Anyway, that adventure kept me from Xanga yesterday, so hopefully today I’ll have more opportunity to comment. I’m working on the laundry (again!). I’ll probably also clean the kitchen. I’m going out to lunch with Jen, a friend from church who is scheduled to have her baby induced on Thursday night, because right now she’s just sitting at home thinking about the coming birth. I thought it might be helpful to distract her a bit! Other than that, I don’t know what’s on the agenda…but the days surely do seem to fill themselves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My legs are very sore today!
