Whirlwind

That is what my life is right now. A whirlwind. Every second there is something to do; scouts, piano lessons, church duties, soccer, gymnastics, pre-school, biography reports . . . . the list could fill volumes.

We have lost three library books in the past month. Before this, I don't think I've lost a library book since I was seven years old.

The kids get so antsy in the spring. I think their behavior right now is the perfect argument for year-round school, with more regular breaks. It's like they just can't handle even one more thing. And neither can I.

I think I say "We're out of time" forty times a day. I also use some version of the excuse "I've been swamped" multiple times an hour. Because I have, that is why.

But I'd rather be busy than bored.

Still . . .

Summer, please come. I need you.

Hiatus

Blogging is not a priority right now. I am busy, busy, busy.

I have to make Seth's costume for the school play. He is a cockroach, which is exactly the part he was hoping for.

It will be his birthday on Tuesday (Eight? Who gave him permission to grow up so quickly???). I get to make cake. I love making cake.

I have yet to finish the laundry created by camping trips two consecutive weekends in a row. The last load is in the dryer now . . .

Family is coming, both mine and Michael's. We'll celebrate birthdays, graduation (Michael again, no he's not done yet . . . just adding more letters to his name, as is his habit) Seth's baptism and The Rose Festival, and it is always more fun to have family celebrate with us. My sister just came home from her mission and she is coming too!!! I guess I should clean.

At some point I should also toilet train T. But it is so much work, and I am lazy . . .

Plus there are all the exciting end of the school year activities, field day, pre-school graduation, school picnics, programs, you get the idea.

The point is, I'm going on a hiatus. Maybe a week. Maybe two. Until I get my act together and am able to produce some quality material. Consider yourselves warned, internets. Things might be a little dull without me around. (Wait, did the internet just heave a giant sigh of relief?)
