Where did April go? It is that time of year where it feels like I am in that ride at 6 Flags over Texas where you stand in a cylinder that spins round and round and then the bottom drops out; you are going so fast that you are spun to the wall. It's fun for a little bit, then you beging to just feel squashed flat. When I was little, I crept down the wall to have my feet back on the floor, and when the floor pushed back up to its starting position, I was squished in a different direction.
About right now, with the kids about to get out of school, Mother's Day looming, family birthdays, district events, graduations and celebrations - I feel squished and squashed in about every direction. The scheduling oasis of summer doesn't even exist anymore - with day camp, swim lessons, baseball, soccer, General Assembly, trainings, new curricula to read, and the oppressive humidity of my beloved plains - whew! I am finding myself looking forward to the kids going back to school in August so I can have a moment to work in peace and catch my breath.
I have scheduled away the entire summer and have moved up to Thanksgiving. Anybody wanna talk Christmas vacation yet?
