The countdown is on...I'm excited for summer to come. Yes, I will miss my little kiddos, and their hearts are pure gold, but I need "me" time. I've noticed lately my hair is pure silver on top. Hmmmmmmmm....wonder why that could be! I need days in the sun, days to organize, days to read, days to think, and days just to BE. I have been a "human doing" this year instead of a "human being." Although my preschoolers have experienced phenomenal successs and many are reading words and others are just on the verge of reading, and about half can count to 100, add and subtract, and know many other concepts, it is still nice to have an ending date to a school year, wrap it up, take a break, and then start again with a new crop!!!
Today, I got a "Food & Wine" magazine in the mail with a flap attached saying it is my last issue. I haven't even opened one issue in a year. We have a newspaper collection that we could pack about 10 families belongings in, and laundry and dishes are piling up. I haven't lived like this since college.
Now to the good news. Mother's Day lunch is going to be at our home. I'm excited. We are having asparagus soup, chopped salad, pineapple & beef kabobs, Hawaiian sweet rolls, strawberries and white cake. I'm so very grateful my mother is here this Mother's Day, and that she did not succumb to the cancer, but is seeking treatment and healing. Praise God for His goodness. I am so so blessed that Michelle and Chelsea are wonderful daughters and spoil me every Mother's day, and that I have a son who loves me and would be here if he could to celebrate with us.
My hubby is the best, and we are enjoying life together whenever we can steal a few moments. Tonight we drove through KFC, picked up supper, ate on trays in front of our Netflix movie--Saint Ralph--and had fun til I crashed. Now Tom is in bed, and I'm blogging, but once again, if I don't get my "me" time, I'm not a happy momma!
Whew! Good night.
