What's a girl to do??

I want to do something really fun and spontanious right now, but I can't! I'm too dang busy! I keep on accidentally double booking things, forgetting wedding showers (of which there are a million right now), and generally running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Yesterday I had school all day, professional development for two hours afterward, came back to my classroom to work, and then had a mission's board meeting until after nine. I just can't wait for May to be over!

I'm excited about summer, warmth, freedom to be spontanious instead of everything being planned out. Don't get me wrong, I like my planning, but every once in a while I want to be able to not double check my calendar two times before saying yes to someone!

Okay, enough complaining. Things are holding up pretty well, considering the business of my schedule. I had a great time with most of my mom's family last weekend. We all gathered in B-town for my grandpa's 83rd birthday!!! That's old! I have to tell you though, he is the most joy-filled, heavenly-minded man I know, and his love for his family is astounding. The best part of the weekend was Saturday night, when we had a party for gramps. As we get older, the catching up times with cousins, aunts and uncles is more and more enjoyable. I guess that just makes sense. :) We also got to take a fab family picture, which hasn't happened since I was about 9!

In school news, the kids are still hanging in there. Only 16 and a half days to go, but they keep on trying! I'm pretty impressed, because I feel VERY antsy and can't wait to be done! Right now they're starting the inventor's research projects, and studying for the big social studies states and capital's test. woo-hoo!

Gotta go pick the munchkins up now. I hope to add pictures from the birthday festivities soon.
