Babysitting for Aric again today and we have homeschool gym class. Today at gym is kinda bittersweet...this will be our last day for a while. The sign up for the next session is today and we have decided not to sign up again. I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but for 7 years I was the Kind. gym teacher and so was there for every gym session. This year I decided to step down from teaching and since this is the session that runs up to Christmas time we have decided since we don't have to be there we are skipping this time. I know it is the right thing to do, but on the other hand, it is something we have done for so long that it feels kinda strange to me. I have had a lot of transitions in my life this year, and so this is just one more. It has all been for good, but just so much is changing at once. I stepped down from another design team that I had been a part of for nearly 2 years, after being an Awana leader for 16 years we moved up to Jr. High Word of Life, and after teaching gym for all of those year, stepping down from that too. Oh yeah...and after babysitting for Aric for 1-1/2 years that ended when he went to Kind. (that is why it is nice to have him back for a few days! ) All of those things took place within about a month of each other, so it has just been a bit different, but on the other hand freeing for me.

I think we are having leftover chili for dinner tonight and then after dinner Mark has a deacon's meeting and I have worship team practice again. (this will be the 4th night this week I have been at church!)
