“Motherly Missteps on the Road to Summer”

I need to tuck the snowman lamp away.  Here it is May and it’s still in my bedroom instead of nestling safely in a box in the garage.  I can’t help thinking that a good mom would have put it away months ago.

Holidays cluster into bunches, orbs of sweetness that cannot be

Ya, thaat may have been a touch sarcastic as the holidays run right into the birthdays (Jan, Feb, March) yay!

My kids' birthdays are November, January and March so I know what you mean!

Holidays ARE more fun when you're the KID. I never realized how much probably went into my parents "pulling things off" every year. I wonder if you can get that "Yea, it's Christmas feeling!" back once you are a grandparent maybe?

::hugs:: At least we are not alone in the trenches eh? And hey, it's summer...ah...a little breath of air here and there.

Ever notice how as soon as summer starts they are suddenly able to get up at 6am but during the school year you just about have to pull them out of bed?
