Saturday and Sustainability

Just a glimpse at my Saturday because my posts have been long and heavy lately and it's time for something on the lighter side. :)

Saturday began late last night when I asked My Farmer what time he needed to be at work in the morning. It's becoming our ritual each night to figure out how each of us can squeeze in a workout in the morning. My options for this morning:

A. 5:30-6:30am

B. 7:15-7:50am

C. get a babysitter later in the day.

I opted for C.

I've had some computer work hanging over my head - namely, task lists and job descriptions for a newly formed leadership team with our Kids Worship Choir (KWC) at Salem Alliance. Your's Truly has bit off more than she can chew, and is co-leading this newly formed team with The Amazing CZ - staff member extraordinaire!! The Amazing CZ and I are teaming up to help make KWC a sustainable ministry. Something becomes sustainable, in my opinion, through team building and delegation - sharing both the responsibility and the reward.

The last few days my thoughts of KWC have been crowding out other things in my brain. That's my cue to stop procrastinating and start writing. So many things need to get accomplished, and often I just do them without writing down what I've done. However, that makes it difficult for next time, because nobody has a record of what it takes to pull off Kids Worship Choir. This, as you may imagine, does not lend itself to sustainability. So, this morning finds me - at 10:30am - still in my bathrobe, working diligently to put it all down in a Pages document. I even discovered Hyperlinks, which has filled me with wonder and created a desire to link every living document to something special.

The Miracles are downstairs playing Wii. Miracle Number One - aka oldest son - already did his chores to earn the right to play Wii, and Miracles Number Two and Three enjoy the privilege of watching him before their chores are done. Two of the three are fed, while myself and Miracle Number Two still need sustenance to start the day. Which, quite honestly, is what I should be doing at the moment.

My Farmer has been at work for two hours already, and will probably not return home until well past dinner tonight. If any of you have any great marketing strategies, or event planning connections, we're in the market for free advice regarding u-pick, community events and how many raspberry rows to plant.

Happy 4th of July weekend - Jen :)
