Ugh, May!!!! First World Problems!

First of all, I know most of this is self-imposed. I had to go and lead PTO, and I made this bed. And I'm very aware that my children are lucky to have all these opportunities, and that I could choose to opt out of their extracurriculars. Still, May is the culmination of everything for school children, and when you have 3 of them, this is what happens. And the family still wants dinner. Every. Night.

Someday when the kids are out of the house, I'm told I'll look back on this time with fondness. Screw that, the way I don't long for sleepless baby nights, I will never long for elementary school Mays!

Balls Dropped so far:

Are the hermit crabs still alive? I'm afraid to check.

Laundry mountain may take over the house.
