The theme was Galactic Observers. I was in charge of arts & crafts. Two of my least favorite things: space and leading children.
I walked into this feeling inadequate and incapable and stressed beyond all belief. I felt like I spent too much and I made too much work for people and like the kids hated me and were so bored by my instructions. But today it all came together. My hardest projects were today. They took a lot of material and, when I tried it, I wasn't fully happy with the results. But WOW did it turn out way better than I anticipated. The kids had a really great time today. And their projects look AMAZING. I'm so proud and so impressed. I almost want to keep them for myself. I won't. But it just feels nice to know I did something right. I don't know if I'd do it again - I think there are other people better suited for it that will enhance the children's experiences overall. But I'm grateful for the opportunity and the trust. And for pretty colors in space.
Now, she finally relaxes
