Hubby, me and one other dad did all the work. At least the kids showed up to serve but it was like rangling cattle as always with 14 yr old. I can't wait till this year and the all girl class. (last years was all boys but 2).<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275037611904355740.post-45155526350203975192008-10-08T08:08:00.000-05:002008-10-08T08:08:00.000-05:00I read that same post on the Farmers Wife and spen...I read that same post on the Farmers Wife and spent some time pondering it. I've had those meteors and asteroids hit my planet but I absolutely refuse to let them get the best of me. Being positive is a choice and I choose to embrace it. I have 5 high school girlfriends comeing for the weekend in a couple of weeks - we don't call ourselves YaYas but we have the most wonderful time every year. I've chosen to start backing out of some of the activities at my church because the more you do the more they ask you to do. It's easy to call you when they know you'll say yes every time and it doesn't force others to step up to the plate. There's a blessing in doing the work at church but if I do it all then others miss out on the blessings. :) blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275037611904355740.post-9143551040881902282008-10-08T06:59:00.000-05:002008-10-08T06:59:00.000-05:00Your YaYas sound like fun, fun, fun.Good luck with...Your YaYas sound like fun, fun, fun.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your meatball supper.

I'm in need of some good blogging depth these days.<BR/><BR/>Everyone needs a group of YaYas! I had a sort-of Ya Ya gathering last night.

As soon as the old folks die off, the young ones feel free to abandon the church, where they never participated in the extra activities. <BR/><BR/>I know it happens, I don't like it, but I have no idea what to do about it. You can't force faith.harrietvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409326264515778993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275037611904355740.post-23471573364754702602008-10-07T10:59:00.000-05:002008-10-07T10:59:00.000-05:00A REAL Yaya?
