May is a busy month for lots of folks competing with Dec. for contention of the busiest month. Graduations, and of course Mom's day, then Memorial Day Weekend comes buzzing along with Gardening and yard work.
Luckily I enjoy the yard work part so that's some of my treat for mom's day. I'm getting the yard ready for a gathering here for mom's day family comes over and it's a great motivator to get it in shape as it's been too cool to enjoy it until now. Lawn chairs to clean, tables to set up, weeds to get to. Flowers to plant.

Plus Getting the yard in shape gives me a wonderful place to enjoy reading on mom's day weekend as well!

Half way through this month has me thinking about the rest of things going on around here and a few plans we are making for next month and this summer. School will be out soon and schedules will be changing. Swimming lessons, beach days, hanging out at granny's, time to read, do crafts etc. are on my mind this morning. How about you?

It's the time to listen to and honor all the parts of our personalities. We need to reflect on where we've been, plan where we want to go, and make any necessary adjustments. My future belongs to me: I will choose the best equipment for the trip. S.C. Cole
Glad to see you posting here

Yes, so good to see you posting, blessed! So maybe we'll get to hear from you more with different schedule? Hope so. Dd16 must be getting excited about travel. Nancy is keeping us inspired with quotations.
My emphasis on greeting cards this year has become more positive as I am forgetting less. Yesterday a happy call about a birthday card received made me feel good. Also both dmils have called to thank for the personalized photo Mother's Day cards I worked on - so glad I had started on that project early so I had them here to send well in advance. One dsisil bday remembered, one forgotten so far. Oh, well.

lol I have been caught in the cooking zone again now that I am out of school for the summer lol.
It's a new day... isn't it wonderful!!!!
I am happy to tell anyone where I am right now after 2 school semesters where it took over my life.
I am not ashamed as I know I did my best and need better routines for my busy time again.
dejunking is one of the main ones for me this summer, yard work and most of all time with my family.
things that I find cool that only a SHE can appreciate: every monday now I think in my head: it's bathroom cleaning day. (when did that happen) lol
today: up ground pool took longer than I thought to get the water off the top of the cover. it's still going.
im running a couple of errands
reading a chapter
do 2 loads of laundry and put away dance
and the dishes, counter and stove cha cha after dinner
train dogs
train me to exercise on the treadmill
