Doozy of a Week!

I realized last night that at the moment, I am essentially running three programs-- I'm wrapping up after school for the 2010-2011 school year, organizing/promoting/registering for summer 2011, and organizing/promoting/registering for after school 2011-2012! NO WONDER I'm exhausted!

Earlier this week was cold and icky, felt more like November than May, but we lucked out big time for our after school cookout last night! There was great turnout, everyone had fun, the weather was PERFECT, and we ate all the food there! Someone even brought a quinoa salad that was delicious!! It was great to see everyone having fun and as exhausting as it was, I really enjoyed myself. There are some amazing families there that really make my work worth it! I made ribs (which I'll have to do all the time now!) and now I have blisters on my hand from chopping them up to serve! Who knew?

I have to go in to work tomorrow, which really stinks, but we're leaving Thursday night for a long weekend in Memphis which will be soooooo nice. We'll have all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and half of Monday there! Valerie and Ana are coming in, so we're really excited to see them-- we haven't seen Ana in over a year and can't wait to see how much she's grown!! Without a doubt, she will remember Jeremy-- she always does!

Finally, I'm published!! AOL owns a network of local news and opinion sites called Patch, and I'm officially a blogger for them! The editor loves my Agape posts so much, she wants me to edit them to fit a local market and post them up!

More later, gotta go get some SLEEP now!

All crazy on the Eastern front

Well, folks, it has been anything but quiet here in the life of JeremyandMeg. Last time I actually updated (instead of just throwing more pictures at you) was Spirit Week. Lock In Week followed, and it was a lot of fun-- way better than last year's! We took the little kids to Cici's Pizza on Tuesday and put them to sleep with WALL-E, then the big kids went to Golden Corral (totally awesome) and eventually fell asleep to City of Ember. We were pretty beat after that, and spent the weekend of the 4th trying to relax and recuperate.

Last week was Lake Lanier, which was one hell of a week since we were short staffed. Wednesday went smoothly (except for the fact that we were surprised with 101 degree temps!) and all the parents who came with us had a lot of fun. I'm most proud of having a camp where the parents feel as comfortable as the kids tagging along on field trips! The kids were completely whooped for the rest of the week so even though we were desperate at the end of the week, it wasn't too bad.

This coming week is Movie Week-- so awesome. Monday, the kids will have the option between Avatar: The Last Airbender and Toy Story 3. Tuesday, we're watching the entire Mighty Ducks Trilogy. Wednesday we're all going to the Movie Tavern to have lunch and see Despicable Me. I'm pretty stoked. Friday, the older kids are going to see Sorcerer's Apprentice, which I actually really want to see.

After that... VACATION!!! We're leaving Saturday morning for Memphis to meet up with Josh and Sarah, then heading over to Paris to see Grandma and Grandpa Traylor, then just chilling out for a while. CAN'T WAIT.
