As I was sitting at dinner tonight, something felt very odd. It didn’t feel like the end of a Sunday. As much as I have loved the last year working with my 45 kids in Primary, Sundays were exhausting. Sunday started on Saturday night with the preparation and the phone calls from teachers who were going to be absent. Sunday morning was busy, getting myself and the kids ready and finalizing any Sharing Times or other things that needed to be done. And then there was church….keeping my kids in line during Sacrament Meeting, leaving the meeting early to set up for Sharing Time, and the 2 hours of Primary, the clean up, and then all of the dinner prep, etc once we got home.
As difficult as the day was, the 2 hours of Primary were always worth it. I never get bored in Primary. I have always felt like I belong there. But last week was my last week as the Primary President. I am now “free” to go to my own classes. As nice as it was today, I couldn’t help but feel extremely out of place. I hardly knew what to do with myself. I even went for an extra hour today and attended choir practice, and I still feel so relaxed. What a difference! And yet I miss those kids terribly. I miss them!
Here’s a fun picture that I took yesterday. Noodle helped me get a unique picture for my photo group assignment on pumpkins.
