O, the month of May, the merry month of May, So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green! by Thomas Dekker It has been a merry month and let's just say it...busy! That over used word meaning: adj. engaged or at work . Synonyms include: active, assiduous, swamped, engrossed, having a full plate, tied up. It has been those words and more. Definitely merry though, each crazy event this month has brought much merriment and joy to our family. May always begins for us with two very special birthdays and Mother's day all in the same week. May 3rd is our sweet baby girl Lorelei's birthday. She turned 8 this year. We celebrated with her very first slumber party!! Wow...that was fun and exhausting! We had 14 girls sleep over. Well, some of them slept. Just three days later, we celebrated John's birthday! His was a bit more low key. His favorite dinner with cookies and ice cream for dessert. Happy Birthday John!
Somedays I feel like I've done it all. To look at me, you might say "now that's an ordinary mom". Dig a little deeper and you'll find I've led a pretty interesting life, done some pretty extraordinary things, especially once I became a mother of four wonderful, extremely different children! Unique personalities and needs, all wonderful, trying and glorious at the same time!
