Life has been so very busy lately and won't really slow down much for another week.  I keep saying we are getting close and then someone throws something else on my plate!  I need to say no more loudly I guess because they are not hearing me!!!  LOL  Over the next few days I have more VBS preparation (which I was NOT going to be helping with because of school).  I got caught into helping one lady who is new to all of this (she is from Germany and has never done VBS before but is great with kiddos.  So we spent last evening from 3:30pm until 8:00pm going over materials and assigning tasks.  I am teaching the first day so she will know what to do. 

I did relinquish my role of director this year because of school but the lady in charge... well... I am not sure it is all getting done.  *deep breath*  I will not be in charge, I do not have to be in charge, I don't want to be in charge, I am NOT in charge...  *cleansing breath* 

So, I will be there Monday and maybe Wednesday and then I am out. 

I also have a big test coming up on Tuesday and the kids are swimming all the doooooo daaaaa weekend for city finals and then swimming is OVER!!! *yes you hear a singsongy voice as I say OVER* 

I am skipping town with a sisterfriend for some sanity time next weekend, too.  I so need it... but in the midst of all of this Dan and I have a DATE!!!!  TONIGHT....  No kids, no time restraint, just two people having dinner and talking about stuff we want to talk about without interruption and we are SO not answering phones (unless it is the sitter)   YIIIIIPPEEEEEEEEESKIIIIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Now, the title of this post is Taking Tea and other lovely things so my challenge to you is to find a time - any time you like to just stop and slow down and take tea or do something lovely for yourself.  It is a fast paced crazy world we live in and we need some slow time.  Take it!  I will be taking it tonight.... and as often as I can over the next two weeks especially next weekend!!!!! 

Enjoy this little tidbit I picked up over at Ann Kroeker's today while you think about it...
