May is the Greatest Month

May is the greatest month. Why? Because.

Because we celebrate Mother's Day.
     Wesley and I drove around and passed out flowers to his grandmothers.
     Sean and Wesley each gave me a card. I got a cute picture frame for all of Dubby's many faces.

Because the weather is finally cooperative.
     I love shorts and flip flops!!! Life is easy again. And much less painful.
     The only downside is I have to start shaving again.

Because school got out and morning rush hour is finally tolerable.
   I don't even have time to get into how jacked up Franklin Road is in the morning.
   Good riddance, Traffic Cop!

Because of reasons to drink and celebrate like Cinco de Mayo and The Kentucky Derby.
     We celebrated neither, but we did get to have a yummy family dinner of home made
     spaghetti and meatballs at "Family Lunch" day. Thanks, Susan!

Because of O'More's "Eloise" Fashion show.
     The show was enjoyable as ever.
     Warning: Do not drink too much at the fashion show and decide it's a good idea to go to the Pig
     afterwards. And a guy named Stinky Sam might try to push his homemade "wine-shine" on you
     and your friends. And then you might not feel good on Saturday (even though you only had
     regular wine). And you might have to stay in your gown the following day. And then realize your
     gown is on inside out, but you don't care.

Because May means MAH BIRFDAY, y'all!!!
     I wanted a low-key birthday, and that's what I got. I was greeted with a b-day card at my desk,
     and Sean took me to Chik-fil-a for lunch (my request). He made a delicious dinner for me when
     we got home, AND he let me watch what I wanted to on TV. Can you guess what I chose?
     Call the Midwife. I love it so much.

Because of Sisters Weekend.
     I went to Louisville to see sister. We had a nice visit, and I got some much needed R&R.
     She spoiled me with a gift of an hour long full body massage (from a professional. Not from her.)
    More on Sisters Weekend in another post.

Because of Memorial Day.
     A time to remember and pay our respects to those  brave men and women who paid the ultimate
     sacrifice while serving our country.

Because the pool opens.
    I feel refreshed just thinking about dipping my feet in chlorine pee-pee waters. I love the pool.

Because it's the unofficial start of SUMMERTIME!!!
    Which is the opposite of wintertime, which happens to be the suckiest time of the year.

Because Wesley turned 8 months old.
     Sweet baby boy is such an angel.

*Because I resigned from my full-time job!
