A Case of the Mays

May is always the same – busy, busy, busy. This May is no different with family/close friends’ birthdays (8), graduations (3), wedding showers and end of the year/graduation parties (4), and so many other events. Every weekend is packed and so are many weeknights. I found myself feeling really agitated, frustrated, and stressed yesterday; and I just couldn’t figure out why. While there were missteps in my day, it really was not enough to throw me in such a funk. So I thought about it, and I finally realized… it was a CASE OF THE MAYS!

Breathe, focus, pray, reprioritize.

Once I had Chris back with me yesterday afternoon, I really started to feel a little better. We went to pick up Willow Grace from his mom; I simply could not wait to arrive at her house. Willow is such a joy to be around, and I absolutely love to be with her. With Chris and Willow with me, my day just kept getting better. And then I remembered the gift card for the Cheesecake Factory which we had received from his parents at Christmas; I would not have to go home and cook! Of course, we could not go to the Cheesecake Factory without getting a piece of cheesecake to share, but we were too full to eat it after our meal. So, we have a lovely piece of Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake awaiting us for after dinner tonight!

Just six days of school left. Only have to work two days a week this summer. More time with Willow Grace. So much to look forward to. Thank God that May only comes once a year.
