I really have no idea where time is flying to these days...none at all! I really can't believe that tomorrow is the beginning of May, but I'll be honest, I'm pretty excited about it! Four weeks from today will be the last day of school. I am tremendously looking forward to that. I seem to find myself more and more frustrated with school this time each year.
We made our summer "vacation" reservations last evening. We are taking just two nights and going to an indoor water park that is less than an hour away. The kids have been wanting to go for years since my sister told them at Christmas of 2013 that would be their gift for the year. It never happened, and while I'm sure she will be somewhat irritated that we are "stepping" on her gift, I figure if she can't get around to it in 17 months than we are going to step in. Our family agreed that since we are taking a "minication" this year, we are putting the savings from what we would spend on a larger vacation towards a trip to Florida next year. That is going to be our last big family vacation most likely, and we want to be able to really enjoy it.
My mom has surgery tomorrow to repair her rotator cuff from her fall right after Easter. Thankfully, my sister is able to get her to the hospital in the morning, but most likely will not stay for the entire procedure and certainly not through recovery. I am grateful beyond words that a friend of Mom's is arriving tomorrow evening from Illinois and staying until next Thursday, which will be getting her through the worst of the recovery. By the time Karen leaves, Mom should have some better mobility and strength.
There are other things I want to write, but I'll save them for other posts. After being gone most days this week either helping Mom or catching up on my own errands, and then being gone tomorrow for the surgery, this house isn't going to clean itself!
