The grandchildren had Vacation Bible School at our church this week. I volunteered to help out so I have been there all week, until today. Due to more gall bladder attacks and the intense pain that accompanies them, eldest daughter decided to go ahead and move her surgery up a week. So Hubby is filling in for me today and I am currently sitting at the Texas Surgery Center in Dallas, waiting. It is the first time a child of mine has been under the knife. I have a knot in my stomach but I don’t know if it is nervousness or if the fish oil capsules are giving me indigestion again. Since they tell me I have a couple of hours before I can go back with her, I thought I’d catch up on my blog.
Walking around with the kids at VBS brought back fond memories of my teenage years and early adulthood. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and participating in the fun. The kids have all had a blast. We are so blessed to have such creative and talented people willing to put in the time to make such an event successful. I also feel especially blessed that Hubby substituted for me. I’ll let you know how his day goes. This is the first year the oldest granddaughter had the opportunity to participate as a helper instead of a student. She is doing a fantastic job. When I was able to slip away for a few minutes from my rotation group, I went to check out how the younger two were doing. If I stayed very long at all watching my grandson, I was rewarded with views of excited jumps of glee (especially when he watched diet coke and soda explode into the air). Singing and dancing were a big hit with all the kids as they learned new motion songs. Even the three year old got into it.
My eyes are drooping from lack of sleep last night. I didn’t arrive in Dallas until 1:30 this morning and was up around 6 am. I think I’m going to stop fighting it and try to doze a bit in the waiting room. I’ll try to add an update on the surgery later today.

One of the sugeons just came out and wanted to talk to the family of Wanda Gooding. My mother's name was Wanda Goodwin. Brought back more memories.
