May Days!

In case you didn't believe me when I said that this was my busiest time of year, read on and you will become a believer.

In addition to the everyday and the mundane, in the next ten days I have all of these things on my calendar [seriously]:

6 haircuts [and one color]
3 school events
3 basketball games
3 ccd/church related items
2 baseball games [with snack duty]
2 field trips [just a notation for me, Tony is going to San Francisco with Wyatt for one of them]
2 girl scout meetings
1 family reunion [with 500 expected to attend]
1 annual garden party and auction to set up [I'm just the help]
1 wedding [Tony and I are in the wedding party]
1 1st communion [my sweet Sarah]

Sort of in that order, is your head spinning yet? Mine is! To punctuate the timeline I just described, the day after all of that is Mother's Day!

So much is happening this time of year and it seems to be that way every year. Tony has a ton of his own things going on and revolving around it all I am also having issues with dresses and clothing, selling tickets for two different things, helping to plan a baby shower, regular PTA duties and school stuff, carpools, practices, finances, and oh yeah, dinner! I have had mental dinner blocks all week. I just feel stumped every night and we end up with a mish-mash of something that resembles dinner. I guess there is a limit to what can fit into my brain and dinner just puts me over the top. Tony just laughs at me. Thank God for his sense of humor.

We may finally be finished with all the rain, hurray for that! We have had so much of it this year, everything is so green and beautiful. Oh Spring, you have done a marvelous job and you are stunning!

God give me strength to remain calm, to keep the stress away as much as possible, to remember to breathe and enjoy the moment before it all slips away, and to relax and have fun. And, if I don't achieve all that, at least let me have a good laugh about it when it's over, amen!
