Vacation Bible School

I write this tonight because it is the second night of vacation bible school, and I am so disappointed. Last year, I was excited to be a part. This year, I didn't sign up to be a volunteer, first of all because not knowing what job I might be involved in for the fall, I didn't want to commit to something I wouldn't be able to do.
We arrived last night, to find out that I had been pre-signed up for group H. Ok, well, that was fine because I don't have a job that interfers, however, the only person in my group was Hannah. The kids in front of me didn't have a teacher, so I offered to be there. Instead, a girl named Leah, who had no specific job except to help with the songs, said she would do their group. Well, needless to say, Hannah, as opposed to last year, hated it. She cried almost the entire night because she had no friends. And she wasn't just making it up. The two girls in front of us paired up and got into trouble the whole night. And Nathan and a boy named Kegan paired up. That was it. She watched as the other groups around had several of her little friends in it. There were supposed to be 4-5 per small group, with 20 in a main group.
So, tonight, when we arrived, I spoke with a lady about the situation. I told her that 1, I had not offered to be a volunteer, so I thought it was interesting that I got signed up. What would have happened if I couldn't be there and I was suppose to lead a group unknowingly. I would have looked like a skip out, but it wouldn't have been my fault. 2nd, my daughter was the only one in my group, and she had a miserable time. I wondered if she could be put with some other kids her age, to which they said they would work on it.. She had a horrible time again tonight, crying most of it.
I am half tempted not to go back the rest of the week, except Nathan is having such a good time. I talked to my friend Lisa who had a daughter Mary Rose who has come over a couple of times. I said that maybe if Mary Rose took Hannah to her group as a "friend", not only would Mary Rose get special points for bringing a friend, but maybe Hannah would have a bettter time. I guess I am kind of upset that first, they signed me up unknowingly and second, that they left my daughter alone in a group. It is kind of an insult.
Anyways, I hope everyone elses week has been better.
Monday started off so good too. We had a GREAT day with Abram and everyone was looking forward to VBS.
I guess since I grew up with Summer Bible School being something fun but also you actually opened up your Bible and in the end, you got the reward of learning something, not seeing someone else be completely humilated in front of people. I guess that isn't my way of showing others who don't regularly attend church who Christ is. It is more like those wierd Nickalodian shows you see.
I am hoping that going with Mary Rose, Hannah will have a better time. She loved it last year. And I have no idea what I will do. My only group kid is my daughter and to me, the whole point of VBS is 1. to have a good time, 2. to learn about Jesus, 3. to build friendships.
They are with me all day long. I want them to reach out and build new friendships, not cry all night long because they are being left out.
Ok,enough of my rambling. I need to get to bed. Hannah has her doctor's appointment in the morning. Another urine sample and more visiting about our prep for Children's Mercy.
Will write again before we head to Kansas on Friday/Saturday. Until then, I hope you are all well.
