Welcome to Dana's blog!

REMEMBER THE REASON!

I have to tell myself this. I'm very stressed this week and my perfectionist tendencies were rearing their ugly (and I do mean ugly) heads again. I was about to have a melt down over teaching the preschool Sunday School class and I realized how ridiculous I was being. They are 4 & 5. They don't care!LOL They want to have fun and learn about God. KEEP IT SIMPLE! I've gone over all the lesson plan books and got things punched out. I really noticed my frustration hit the wall when I realized I was going to need to leave at the children's message (they go to children's church while we have the sermon) to get the room ready. DH always picks the kids up so I don't even know what's in the room anymore! I need to hang some posters, find materialsa nd in general nib around and see what there is so I'm not buying tons of stuff. Thankfully I have a copy machine (3-in-1 printer) so that's easily taken care of. I'm certain there has to be crayons somewhere!LOL But it's stuff like glue, scissors, etc that I need to locate. I don't even have a guess as to how many children are in that class! I'm praying that I've made enuf and when I do attendance I can see what they average.

DH is stopping by Aldi adn picking up what we don't have to make trail mix (they are learning Exodus) and I have some VERY old sugar cones that I thought it would be cute to serve them in. ANd as usual, God knew this as someone suggested that for my "T" lesson in preschool to serve trail mix. So when the time comes, I'll have everything ready for them.

So I just feel better now......
