Happy Sunday!
Holly and I are spending the weekend at the final regional dance competition of the season. We have one more to go, nationals at the end of June, but our schedule should ease for the next few weeks as the dance year winds to a close. I, for one, am ready to put this entire season behind us. It took its toll on me this year, and I don’t know why.
Jim started the week on another business trip. He tends to send us pictures of puppies for sale but refuses to bring one back with him. Not only are Holly and I left by ourselves, but he makes it worse by teasing us with pictures of adorable floofiness. It is so unfair.
I ended up finishing April having read eleven books. It isn’t a record, but it is more than I read in February or in March, so it is a nice upward trend. With my weekends becoming freer and no major sports I like to watch, it should mean more available reading time. It is also hammock weather soon, which is always a great way to read and relax.
I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday and wish everyone a peaceful, stress-free work week!

You are in the final stretch. That must feel good. I guess we are in the final stretch too. Footloose this weekend, choir concerts next weekend and then banquets but that’s it. My son is toying with the idea of auditioning for Joseph at a local theatre in a few weeks. The acting bug returned with a vengeance when he did Bright Star.
The final stretch is a stretch since it lasts until the first week in June, which is when she has her dance recitals. We don’t have the summer dance class schedule yet, nor do we have her poms summer camp schedule. It makes me nervous because I know from experience how quickly your summer calendar can fill.
I need to invest in some sort of comfy outdoor chair to read on. We’re finally getting some decent weather here.
I’m glad things are calming down for you. We have dance tryouts this weekend, the year-end dance banquet next weekend and recital the following weekend after that. I am ready for a break for the summer. Sunnie will take a few workshops, but for the most part we will get a nice long break! I haven’t had much time to sit and read in over a week and it’s really frustrating!
I hope you are having a good week, Michelle!
I love my hammock, but I am afraid that this summer will be like last summer where the mosquitoes are going to make it impossible to sit outside. It has been such a wet spring, and we have a mosquito problem in droughts. You can imagine what they are like in rainy weather.
A hammock sounds awesome! I think I need one of those at some point. I hope after the last of this season is over, you can have a good long rest, especially since you didn’t get much over the winter!
The summer is always rest and recovery for me because once August starts, we do it all over again.
