To say 'I'm glad this week is over!' would be putting it mildly. The more I think about it, I must say that I am glad April is over. It definitely has been a whirlwind month in every aspect. That being said, I have not had one moment to be 'still' with my thoughts before right now.
This last week (of the month) began with a rainy day trip to the Bronx Zoo. The rain definitely did not deter my kids, our chaperons and I from having a ball! From the Reptile House to the Bug Carousel, we laughed, splashed in puddles (against my will! ha!) and ate until we were ready for more. Of course, the trip left me exhausted, and I have not yet fully recovered, but they truly did enjoy themselves. At the end of the day, that's what matters most to me.
Add regular work deadlines, projects that need to be tended to or finished, grad school papers that come with MORE deadlines, my own personal things that are going on (or not), and you have one drained person. Of course I am thrilled that #1, it is FINALLY the weekend, and #2, the weather will be perfect. We certainly deserve this beautiful weather since the tri-state area dealt with dreary days for the past two weekends. From what I've heard, my friends & family have many 'outdoorsy' events planned. I look forward to wherever I end up! : )
In the end, this is life. The ups and downs, light loads and heavy ones, exhaustion and energy, laughs and tears... When it's all said and done, we are who we are because of all that we go through...and personally, I don't know that I would change any of it. I look forward to what May will bring...
