I've been looking at my calendar a lot lately. Mostly to check and make sure that I am not forgetting the next thing. One of my favorite things about May is that many things begin to come to an end...school and church activities, chorus, etc... but this year and for the past few years it seems to be a month of gearing up for even more GREAT things. While I love all the activity and it is so much fun for my kids, it is exhausting and I am finding myself running from one soccer practice to another t-ball game to yet another soccer game etc... I guess I am the picture of the typical soccer mom- minivan going non-stop, laundry in full swing to make sure the jerseys are clean, forgetting half the gear and making a lot of u-turns, throwing kids snacks and water bottles to keep them hydrated and nourished (wish I could say it was always homemade and healthy). All I can say is that I'm looking forward to a few days of nothing...maybe in July. In the meantime, I'll enjoy watching my kids play, cheer from the sidelines as I check my calendar to see what's next and remember that these days are fleeting and I'm thankful to have this crew to transport and nourish and love. I'll keep doing my absolute best to not miss the ball while I dream of July! Batter up!
