Mayday

A few years back, I came to the realization that December has been outdone. Everyone always talks about how busy December is. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with it being a doozy- we even have a birthday thrown in there. But May trumps it by far.

This year, I have had the luxury of no PTA duties and STILL have a full month. Every time I turn around, money is needed for a fieldtrip, someone needs a ride, and I need to be in 4 places at once. Throw into that: TWO birthdays, Stake Girls Camp to plan, end of year school projects, concerts to attend, and a busy as ever husband, and I desperately need that elusive maid.

We even cancelled all sports three years ago after this:


In anticipation for our busy night tonight, I thought ahead. As in, last night Randy and I talked about the events happening tonight. We talked (OK, more like I talked while he tried to brush his teeth) about different scenarios and the best plan of action.

I had my day planned out, and things were looking good. It was time to take Hailey to the school for her choir concert. She needed to be there early and I took Tyler and Hannah along to save seats with me. Casey stayed home with Nathan and Emma and I told them Randy would be home soon to bring them to the concert.

I felt great about the 10 seats we snagged on the third row and waited for the gang to arrive. Grandma and Grandpa got there not long after I did. The director stood up to begin the concert just as Randy walked in. Without any kids in tow. A brief exchanged of words revealed the mix-up: out of all the possible you-go-here-I’ll-go-theres, neither of us could remember what we actually decided on.

No harm done. But I’m ready for June.
