With the nice weather today, it finally hit me that it really is the month of May. I still keep thinking we are in March. As usual with the quirkiness of time, the last few months have seemed to have passed quickly and slowly at the same time. But looking at the calendar today I noticed that there are just 3 more official weekends of track season. This weekend will be districts, next will be regionals and the next will be state. After that my husband will be home again. I'm getting pretty excited about that thought.
May also means mother's day is around the corner. Halle has already exposed her secret project at preschool. Chris keeps asking what he can get me. That is one of my urks - I like to be surprised not asked. The only thing that I have requested in the past is just a day to myself without the responsibilities of motherhood and I was just laughed at - so probably won't ever see that happen unless I hire a babysitter and go away all by myself. My best rewards are always the little, "I love you, mommy," that I get every once in a while. It is definitely amazing that motherhood is something that you have to experience, and every one's experience is a little different.
The end of May brings Halle's birthday. She has been looking forward to turning 5 practically a few weeks after turning 4. She has talked about her up coming party and birthday constantly for 11 months now. I am glad that she now down to just counting the days and that the big day is almost here (although I am not at all prepared yet or have any idea what I am going to do or when to do it).
I hope the weather tomorrow will be as good as they are predicting on the news. I am looking forward to soaking in the sun and actually being warm for a change.

Hooray for track season ending!! You must be so excited. Today was BEAUTIFUl. We had fun with Halle. Keep us posted on the birthday plans.
I have also asked numerous times to have a day without the kids, but it never happens. I recently asked Devin why he can't do this one thing for me, just once a year. He said he has tried, but whenever he tells me their plans I always want to come along. True, but they aren't supposed to do a bunch of fun stuff without me! He needs to plan a boring treacherous day, like the ones I am trying to get a break from!
I'm excited for you that track season, and school, are almost over and you can enjoy your husband once more. Most women I know want one of those days. But I agree with Rebecca. It's a catch-22. It's impossible for them to just take over a day. Dad being home and being the care taker changes things enough where the kids are usually angels anyway and that's not what we need a break from!
Cute Halle. Seth looks forward to his birthdays that way too. NO pressure!
