Go Give a HUG.... Or at least a thank you!!!

So Christmas is busy enough with out throwing the new primary year starting the week after right. I would say enough said but I had no idea what goes into getting the new year setup and ready to go. I think everyone should have an appreciation for this because as most people who read this know we are unpaid moms who put hours a week into the primary. Don't get me wrong we love it but some kudos are needed and well deserved for all of the ladies around the globe who are going through this same thing.should be the new Sunbeams coming in from nursery get to visit the primary room?, and the teacher who are too burned out to go on for another year lets pray the bishop gets around to getting them released and replaced, Then you go into panic mode around Dec. 1st and start to put classes together and make new lists and all of that stuff. Well here I am the week before with no computer and no phone for the last two weeks. I will be scrambling this whole week to get door signs made, new rolls printed, new manuals put together...... GO HUG YOUR PRIMARY SECRETARY..... RIGHT NOW!!

I was not going to publish the blog but I think I will, It is now Jan. 8th and I feel like I am finally getting done. After the first week of primary chaos I had to re do some of the room assignments and even move kids who's parents did not like the teacher they were assigned to. Anyhow I just would like to get the word out there. 5 hours a day on the computer for two weeks in a row. GO HUG YOUR PRIMARY SECRETARY!!!! Or at least give her a call and thank her for all of the hard work she does for your children.

Side note.... I love my calling I really do. I probably would not want to be anything else in the ward right now So please don't take this as a complaint just an FYI for some deserved appreciation for all those who are in my same shoes right now.

I know exactly what you went through, and yes, a huge thank you to all secretaries at this time of year!!!

GOODLUCK! My mother-in-law has all sympathy for you. She is visiting right now and is the Stake Primary President. She says the first of the year is always a little hectic (well, and not too mention the rest of the year), but it does get better!

Amen sister!! I know exactly how you feel. Primary is the calling that gets you all the great blessings:o) Good luck, and you are doing great work!

Here's an idea!

When I was PP I would always ask the secretary to make sure people got thank you notes. She would write them out and then at our pres. meeting we would all sign it.

Make up your own thank you note and bring it to the meeting! hehe It should be interesting to see how they react!

I should do that! I think they would all laugh..... Or would they, They might think Iwas crazy and release me.

Either way it might work out for the best.... Just kidding. Primary is great. If I had my way I would be in Primary every time, or nursery. Those are the best callings around.
