Shellshocked

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to compare myself to a WWII veteran, but last night I think I got a glimpse of the meaning of the word.
Imagine this:
The church foyer is large when there are no people in it, but on a Wednesday night can become, how shall we say, wall-to-wall-I-can't-even-walk-through-it busy.
Last night was no exception.
With 100 or so people clamoring for attention, by the end of the night I was unable to form a complete sentence. Oh get real, I think I would have been hard-pressed to think of the WORD "sentence".
A friend was one of the later registrants, and was the sad recipient of my done brain. We laughed at my inability to think, my deer-in-the-headlights stare and the fact that I could not form words. I hope I see her today so she does not think I am a complete whacko.
Welcome to another year of AWANA. WHOOP!

What number is this for you?

Kelli said...

I believe she's at about year 158. Or maybe that's just what it feels like after last night...
