Quote of the Month

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

May I?

Dear May,

I'm not exactly sure how you snuck up on me as quickly as you did this year.  All I know is that one minute I was thinking it sure was a mild winter, and the next minute I was sitting at my desk and realized it was time to turn the page on my Mommy Planner from April to you.  I will admit, I was hesitant to say goodbye to April and turn the page over to you.  After all, I knew what you looked like before I even turned the page.  There are only four days throughout you that I do not have something going on.  And even though you have a very special day at the end of you (the day my beautiful baby girl was born), most years I just try to hold my head above water and simply survive everything you bring along with you.  I don't understand why you have to be so busy.  And crazy.  I happen to know that it's not just me who feels this way... a lot of other moms out there aren't particularly fond of you either. Perhaps next year, you could strive to be a little less like September, and a little more like your good neighbor, June.  Just a suggestion...

Tiredly,
"Mom"
