April Review and May Goals

The weeks are flying by...we're already through the first couple weeks of May and I haven't had a chance yet to post about April.  I vaguely remember every year that May is busy with end-of-school-year events and planning for the summer, and yet, I always seem to be overwhelmed and falling behind on everything -a nd not mentally prepared for what that means.  It does also mean that I fall behind on reading because there seems to be no time!  And I recognize that not reading really brings me down.  So, I need to work a bit over the next few weeks on finding way to have balance, even though work is ramping up...perhaps I need to make time to get back on the treadmill (a little exercise to go with my reading)!  Here's what I was up to in April!
