CHURCH - WIDE JULY 4TH PARTY

HOW DO I GET MYSELF IN CHARGE OF THESE THINGS....???

I really cant figure out how I always have intentions of "saying NO" and cutting back on the number of items on my "to-do" list, BUT I NEVER CAN SEEM TO DO THAT.  This all started back in May.  I serve on the Youth Council at our Church.  The preacher stated that the youth would not meet the week of July 4th due to the holiday.

Then I said it.  Yes.  I opened my mouth and vomited out a comment that would simply just add MORE STUFF to my list.
"I don't understand why we are cancelling church events - we used to always have a church-wide 4th of July party, and it used to be a lot of fun" ....  and then it happened....

"Well Cassey, that is a wonderful idea - can you just head that up please....???
"SURE, WHY THE HELL NOT???"

So I delegated everything out to the Sunday School Classes, rented a few jump things for the kiddos, found a place to host the event, decorations from the Dollar Tree, got some borrowed tiki torches from Ju-Ju's garage, rented a snow cone machine and a popcorn maker, ordered enough hamburgers and hot dogs for 300 people - and volunteered ole' Sammy to cook them all!!!  

CHARGE IT TO THE CHURCH PLEASE....

I must admit - it was honestly a FANTASTIC TIME!  The weather was perfect! There was a fabulous turn-out!  The food was delicious, and my party was a total success!  Everyone has been complimenting my Church-Wide July 4th party...  I guess that's until the Finance Committee gets the bill....  Eeekkkkk..... :/

just kidding.... ????
