I wish I was an Ostrich

Half of the birthdays in my little family and in my extended family occur in the first 2 weeks of May, add in Mother's day, dance recitals, PTA training, and I have got a very very busy couple of weeks. I like being a little busy, but it seems like in my life things come in waves. Either I have nothing going on or I have everything going on. I wish my busy would spread out a little bit. I know a lot of the things are unnecessary and just things I put on myself (I'm making both girls quilts for the birthdays) and I also know that I am a huge procrastinator, but some days I want to just go stick my head in the sand. I need to remind myself that I'm lucky that I don't have work thrown into that mix and that I can do so many of the extras at my kids school. But thinking about the next few weeks just makes me want to take a nap!
