Ah... Sunday
Yes, ah Sunday... how you can manage to torment me even as you teach me. It's like your favorite teacher who always gives you a pop quiz on stuff you'd only just read, or on stuff you learned four months ago. Yes, that's what it feels like. I had to get up a 5:45 ish to get here(my Church) by 6:45 ish. I've been here a bit already. I'm stealing a few moments of peace and quite while my brother sleeps and the band warms up before I have to deal with other people's children until someone else comes to watch them before the real teacher shows up. Wow, what a complicated dance of people watching these kids that ensues near e're Sunday morn. Sure I'm supposed to rotate children out with words but, my dear church, they seem to be unable to find someone to switch with me since the youth pastor and his family left. I'm not saying i'm irreplaceable in any one place, but, I am reliable in most. There is much that can be said for reliability in our church. All the same, there are times I wish the assistant pastor would make up his mind, type up a schedule, and email it to me. I know they have my email on file, heck they probably have my cell phone number on file, not to mention my dad's on speed dial. Ok, maybe not, but the way they relay on him... I'm gonna stop while I'm ahead. Anyway, I had to get that mini rant out of my system. My opinion is mired by ignorance of all the facts and thus bias to my own plight. Well, I don't think you'd want to read much more of my wandering ramblings about how Sunday can be torture so I'll end my post here. Have a Blessed Day!

Hahaha, that's a very good way to put it, about Sunday tormenting but teaching you like a favorite teacher who does annoying things but you can't help but love him/her. I'm sorry the responsibility of watching all the little 'uns always gets shoved off on you :( That really stinks :( It sounds like the church is kind of taking advantage of you, maybe because they figure you don't mind playing involuntary babysitter, so they don't see the need to really rush the real teacher in getting there. That being said, you are also super reliable and good with kids, so really I'm sure they'd rather have YOU watch the youngsters than some grouch who doesn't know anything about children. And don't cut your posts short if you're not done saying what you need to say :) It's fun listening to your rants. Very entertaining, and yet incredibly relatable, I would say :) I hope to hear from you sometime soon! :D <3
ReplyDeleteI meant switch out with words, though I still have to wait a little while for the other childcare worker to get there before I can slip into practice. Also, I wanted to stop before I said something I'd regret. Thanks for the comment though!
