Too Many Irons in the Fire....

 ... lead to my not posting for over a month! Wow, can that be true? Even as I type this, there are a few groceries still waiting to be put away, a sink overflowing with dishes, a load of delicates whirring in my washing machine, a stack of grades to be input to my online gradebook, and dinner waiting to be fixed. Oh, and now my phone calendar is dinging at me about yet another something I was about to forget to do! 
Summer please hurry! 

 While everything may seem overly stressful in the mad dash to finish this school year, I take heart by remembering this ~ in a mere five weeks, summer break will be here! 
Which means the bliss of:

• Blogging time!!!
• Williamsburg Vacation to celebrate anniversary number 2 with the hubby
• A cross country drive to visit my sister in North Dakota
• Baking to my heart's content
• Piles of books to read for pleasure
• Sunshine warming my shoulders
• Cool breezes fluttering my curtains
• Plenty of "crafternoons"
• A house that will be clean top to bottom (yes, oddly enough the thought of having time to truly scrub down my home pleases me greatly!)
• More excursions with Mimsie to discover the small towns and burgs of Ohio
• Thrifting during the weekdays when it is less crowded

And the list could go on and on! I am really looking forward to this summer break.

 Just writing all that insanity down helped me feel a bit lighter, so thank you for indulging me in my tirade, dear friends. I needed that. ;-)

Speaking of dear friends, I am honored to be featured on Koralee's beautiful blog Bluebird Notes. Hurry over and have a sneak peak into her completely inspiring book Everything Goes with Ice Cream. This was sweet cheer to discover on this harried day, for sure!

What cheers you on a busy day, my friends?
