Since Thanksgiving, I have been working some really long days, especially on Saturday. When I say long, I mean long. Like 14 1/2 hours long. That's like doing two days in one. Welcome to the world of tourism in the Great Smoky Mountains at Christmas time. But I am super excited about today. I am only scheduled for about 8 hours. As I sit here and make out the schedule for my greeters and assign the 'who's doing what' tasks for the day, I want to do a happy dance. I have enough staff that my 8 hours should fly by. But I'll still be counting the minutes till I am leaving.
When I get off work, I am going to pick up Alexis and Colby and they are going to spend the night and the day tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning, we will go to Sunday School and church. The children's Christmas play, Angels Say What?, will be during church in the morning.
Shelby has always sang in the Children's Choir on any performances. But this is the first time she will have a speaking part. She surprised us all for asking for a part. But she has come out of her shell over the years. She plays the part of the angel Joy. She ran into a lady recently whose name was Joy and she told her all about playing Joy in a play. She never talks to people she doesn't know so that tells me how excited she is.
Sunday afternoon will be about vegging out at the house until evening. Then it will be time to meet up with the rest of the family at a yet-to-be-determined restaurant. We have three birthdays to celebrate in upcoming week so we always combine them all into one birthday dinner. My twins, Chris and Diana, have a birthday Monday and mine is Thursday.
It promises to be a great weekend.
