I've been released!!

Is it too obnoxious, or rude to scream from the roof of my house..."I've been RELEASED"?

I know it is something I should now be weeping over. After all, isn't that what you do when you're released from a calling?
I heard it said once, that you are never released until you have come to love what you are doing.
Well, I have to say it. I think I was finally released because I grew to really dislike my calling.

I was the Webelos leader in my ward for about 4 years, and I have to say truthfully, I am not sad at all. It is a hard, exhausting calling. This past year, we had 12 boys in our group, and they were a little....rambunctious (ya, I'm going to go with that word). My twins were two of them and even occasionally, they wore me out. I came to dread Wednesday nights. I knew that I was going to come home exhausted, and just want to crash. It was the same thing week after week. Trying to deal with 12, 10 year olds, while trying to teach them something was simply exhausting.

Right now I am calling-less. It's actually a fantastic feeling. I am hoping that it lasts for a little while, because I'm dreading what could be next. It seems like over the years, my callings have gotten worse and worse (I thought it was bad when I was the nursery leader...had I only known then that I would once again have all of those same kids 8 years later).

Anyway, I don't mean to seem so excited, but I am. I attended our den meeting last night, to tell the boys goodbye and pass off all of the "stuff" to the other leaders. I wish them luck and I know they will have a great time with the boys.

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!
