Going Around In Circles - Circle of Life

Can't you just hear the soundtrack of Lion King playing in the background, and there at the top of the stairs holding up a puppy I am yelling "No don't you dare tinkle on the floor" as I limp down the stairs to the back door to let our Toy Fox Terrier outside. Trying not to trip over the shoes, bags, and rubble strewn everywhere as the end of year chaos begins its ascent.

Here the time of birthdays - mine and lots of family and friends, Mother's Day which was blissful and relaxing, and the end of school, Girl Scouts, and the beginning of plays, dance recitals and camp, my life is spinning quickly out of control. Currently, I have 7 dance costumes shedding sequin and sparkle in my living room. I've asked them to be removed to the bedroom and hung yet they remain on a chair in bags shedding their sparkle onto my carpet.

In the dining room stacks of new catalogs, flyers and order forms have married with flyers, certificates, notebooks and calendars as I plan next year for GS at the Service Unit Level. I did have a meeting with the whole Service Unit to discuss. I called the meeting to order, 1 person was in attendance, 1 person voted on the activities and 1 person wrote down everything and created the booklet. Same person....me.  Be sure though, there will be more than one opinion on what they do or don't like and lots of "I didn't get an e-mail. Or when was that meeting? Or I would have been there if I had known."  I did ask a couple times but life is a whirl for everyone.

We also have dance practice, but with a boot on for Achilles tendonitis there hasn't been much dancing. The play is this week, practice at random times for months has cumulated to practice all week for 3-1/2 hours each day. I shouldn't mind this, and I don't as much as the random practices leading up to it. I did drama. It was 3 months, 5 days a week, afterschool till the late bus until the last 2 weeks which were dress rehearsals till 6 p.m. with parent pick up. I drove then so I didn't realize how much went into it. I do now though. So, pick up at school, drop off at dance, and everything in between. Madness!! Yes madness!!

Then we have Girl Scouts ending. Lots of awards and trips and planning too. I'm quite ready for a break. And I'd plan one if only I had time.
