When someone is in trouble in the old movies, they say, "mayday." I don't get it! Why do they say that? I'll have to research it.
I am happy this day of May. It happens to be mother's day. My mother is amazing. That is all there is to that. I could not say enough about her to give her the credit she deserves. I just know that I am glad to be a little bit like her. I am definitely not exactly like her.
I hope I am a good enough mom. That is the best I can do! My kids have practically raised themselves. They teach me stuff now. They don't really want to listen to me anymore because they KNOW they really are smarter than I am!
I guess my biggest "mayday" cry for help is about David. We met his surgeon this week and scheduled the big heart surgery. The day they will replace his aorta valve and "root" is June 15. It will be a 4 hour surgery, intensive care stay for 1 - 2 days, and at least one week in the hospital.
I have a lot to do before then. We have our spring play this week! It involves 40 middle school kids! Then I've got my class performances (3 of them) and an encore performance of the spring play. We call it Dramapalooza! It will be great, but I'm still nervous.
The end of school is always busy with map testing, final exams, AP tests for Haley, and just finishing up, packing up and saying goodbye for the summer. Tyler is already home from SMU. He got home last night and is a little worried about his grades this semester. Oh well . . . he knows what he needs to do.
This is just a random blog today regarding a day in May. I feel like I am just reporting news to catch up. "Real blogs" are still to come . . . stay tuned.
Have a wonderful May Day!
