For all my friends that complained about January and February dragging, Spring is definitely springing by WAY too fast! It's the last month of school (we only have two weeks left!) and I'm smack in the middle of my busy season at work. It's also Alise's birthday month! Speaking of the birthday girl, today is her last middle school awards day. I had planned to take off the entire day, but a pretty important meeting was scheduled at work and blew my plans, so Wayne has award duty again this year. So for now, here's what we're currently up to.
playing || 80s music on Alexa while I cooked everything under the sun this past weekend and had to run the dishwasher about 100 times. Y'all, I made my own CROUTONS for crying out loud! But I was happy and content (That was before I found out about the bees!).
remembering || Our friend, Brad. I hate cancer.
borrowing || A co-worker has asked to borrow the dress that Alise wore in my own flower girl's wedding about eight years ago. Of course I still had it and said yes! Hallie was only three when she did me the honor twenty-four years ago and you can imagine how excited I was when she asked Alise to be the flower girl in her own wedding. Such wonderful memories for us both.
If I sound bitter, its the bees' fault.
Girlfriend I am with you about those bees! No. Way. Let's hope it's Wayne's "mid life crisis" - although a sports car might have been more fun. When I am in the kitchen I love having Alexa play all the fun music for me too, I swear I forget what day it is when I'm back in the 80s! You will not miss middle school one iota my friend - adios amigos!
ReplyDeleteOh and HOW SWEET is that picture of Alise and your flower girl??? What a full circle moment that had to be!
Love ya!!

Why glad to see middle school go?
ReplyDeleteSo great that the beautiful dress got a reprise!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've got a boy finishing college next week, and, like you, I'm saying "good riddance" to that phase of life--for him and for us! Sometimes we just know when it's time to move on!
It's soon the end of middle school for my oldest here too. Enjoy the end if you can!
ReplyDeleteOoh bees. They're important, but I wouldn't want them hanging out around my house either. LOL Yay for middle school ending! I hope high school is much better.

Can you believe HIGH SCHOOL is ahead??? I'm freaking out that my nieces are headed there themselves. Time does indeed fly. I think Spring flies by so fast too - we wait so long for it after winter & then BAM! 95% & summer hits you in the face.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make homemade croutons & they were THE BEST!!!!
Ah, middle school is tough. And what a sweet story about the dresses!
ReplyDeleteHappy May ! Our son is nearing the end of middle school too. It’s bitter sweet, our baby of the 5 will be a high schooler ! Have a great day !
ReplyDeleteThose bees! I think bees are anything BUT relaxing. Yes, I felt the same way about middle school with my girl. Boys are easier and I didn't feel that way the second time around. High school still has drama, but it doesn't seem quite as intense!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not laughing at you about the bees but you tickle me. I would feel the exact same way for sure. I guess they must be theraputic for Wayne. :o)) Our oldest Gran enters middle school next year but our daughter teaches there so I guess she knows what to expect. Happy rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteYou made your own croutons?! That's awesome!!! All the praise hands for the end of school!! WOO HOO!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on Middle School. It was the worst for all four of my kids and I don't look back with any regret about wishing it to be over! Good luck with the bees!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your friend. Cancer sucks on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteMiddle school sucks. Pardon the French. And cancer sucks more. Have been out of the loop while caring for mom but catching up now on my blog reading. I am pretty sure I would feel like you about the bees. They aren't the bees knees!!
