Is it over yet?

Have I ever told you I strongly dislike the month of May?

Well, it is not really hate, just frustration.  We try to jam way too much stuff into one month.  And whoever put mother's day in May was not thinking.  Let's move it to July or September.  Not when school is winding down, so there are performances, recitals, tournaments, competitions, last day parties.....  I want a day to just  sit and not think about anything and have peace.  (Never gonna happen)

This particular May has been hard.  My 2 year old laptop died never to be resurrected no matter how  much money we throw at it. Cody was very sick/hurt for about a week and a LOT of money. We have had massive amounts of things to do each day and the worry train just keeps on trucking June 13th is right around the corner.

That being said, I love the things that happen in May.

This past weekend was recital, yet another busy hectic day, but fantastic. I laughed, I cried, I slept like a rock.  It was Lily's first recital, and she danced and smiled and did a great job!  Grace was great.  She knew her dances and smiled and only chewed her tongue in nervousness through half the dances.  She is really a great tapper and growing every week as a ballerina.  My classes did well too.  Thank goodness for grandma's and papa's who helped to take care of Grace and Lily and have them arrive on time, ready to smile for pictures and dance beautifully.  I will add pictures later and maybe video too.

This week is busy too.  Swim team end of year parties for Grace and Lily, post planning, swim team and then Daddy is off on Friday (first furlough day) and he will be very busy helping me clean out this weekend.

So here is to May almost being over, may June and July be slow and peaceful the way summer is meant to be.
