I feel like I’m spinning. Well, my head is spinning - too many things going on all at once.

It’s payroll day and it’ll take longer this time because our last pay period was split between two fiscal years, so that means that I have to split the time information. Not fun. I’ll be closing my office door in about 30 minutes in order to get this done with minimal interruptions.

I had my small group over last night. Two of the five girls I have this year actually made it. My task was to find out what their commitment was going to be to participating this semester and judging from the phone conversations I had with the three who couldn’t make it last night and the two who did - there won’t be much of a commitment. All are seniors and all are over-extended with extracurricular activities and jobs and applying to colleges. There’s not one day in a week that the majority of the girls would be able to meet - I’d never have more than one or two show up on any given evening and weekends are not an option at all.

After they left, I called our youth guy to let him know the problem and while he’s discouraged about it, he understands. So I won’t have a small group to lead this semester (which is sort of a relief because of my move) and we’ll be playing it by ear for the spring semester. It makes me a little sad - we had a great time just hanging out and catching up last night - I’m hoping that we’ll be able to work something out for the spring.
