Hurry Up and Stop

Seems like that's what I've been doing the last three days.  Wed and Thurs were end-of-the-year preschool programs and since I'm the music teacher, the program, of course, was musical.  They did a great job and I was proud of them.  It's my last, though.  No more preschoolers--here, at least.  I do have a number of preschool grandchildren that will keep me busy in the next few years, I hope. 
Wed. after school I went to lunch with Deena, Cancer Survivor Supreme.  She's doing pretty well regardless of tumors that have popped up since her WHOLE BRAIN RADIATION!!!  I know, I can't believe that she does so well after that.  She gets upset with herself because she used to work at a bank and now she can't even balance her own checkbook.  She gets words mixed up and has a little trouble thinking things through but I tell her, "Now, you're just like me."  I'm not sure that pacifies her.  Turns out our day was a little longer than expected.  Her grandson broke his leg at school badly enough that he has to have surgery and she wanted to get him a present to keep him busy.  We shopped and he helped us find what he wanted via his electronic game!  Go figure that one.  Took her home, then to church.  I was exhausted and prayed for God to play the piano for me.  He did and I'm thankful.  Home felt good.
Thurs:  The second preschool program, luncheon with the Preschool teachers to celebrate a couple of summer birthdays, to the store for our church secretary who overcommitted (just helping her out), to the church to deliver the food to her and help a little in prep for the meal she said she'd make for her small group that night (already 3:30).  She was supposed to have pre-op info on her daughter for her upcoming surgery on Monday (tonsils, adnoids and tubes), but she wasn't given the correct info sheet and had to arrange to have it done--that day!  Haven't talked to her today to see how it went.
Fri.  Hair cut.  Why am I so tired.  All I wanted to do this morning when I woke up about 6:00 was to sleep on.  Got up anyway, devotions, coffee, flickr, email, got ready and hair cut.  Then to M's to pick up some food I left at her house on Tues. and more coffee and chat--things we both needed.  What else do I have to do today?  I did some yard saleing--happy with the jewelry I got and some things I hope to resell.  Neighbor girl came back today and I had finished the shirt I was working on for her.  I didn't push myself to finish the shorts, though.  I'm thinking I need to gel.  Why do I feel worthless? Cause my house is a wreck and I don't care--enough to clean it, anyway.  Maybe tomorrow afternoon.  Adopt-a-block is tomorrow morning.  I'm praying for rain and God's praying I help someone else--maybe.  Another cup of coffee with help me, I sure.  And, of course, there's the ever-looming VBS I haven't completed --Hmmm.
