May, The Busiest Month

December used to be the most jammed packed month of the year, but sometime after I had Carter May took over as the craziest month.  Actually, before I had Carter May was a big month for me since it is my birthday and wedding anniversary month.  Mother’s day was always in May, but when Carter came along it changed from a month I do something for my mother to a month that something was being done for me too.

So far all those events are mostly celebrations for me which makes May a horrible month for my husband.  But now let’s add my father’s birthday and Memorial Day, made even bigger by our club’s new pool opening and the calendar is getting fairly full.

Now throw in the end of year stuff at school.  The parties for teachers, the thank you gifts, end of term performances, appreciation lunches, final exams and this year we have 8^th grade graduation and the celebrations that goes with that.

May Garden Club dinner party, and Derby Day Parties, going away parties for friends who are moving.  The amount of celebrating makes Christmas seem like a regular ‘ole time of year.  The worst part about this all is that most of these events involve eating of some kind.  How in the world am I going to survive May?  Perhaps with so many parties already on the books I could change my whole eating plan to just eat at parties and skip eating altogether between them.
