This time of year is so busy for everyone, between the end of school and all the other activities that wrap up at the same time, it is enough to make you crazy. Balance that with a regular workload and I don’t know how some people do it. I’m lucky that I work on my own schedule, thus if something needs to get done, I can do it at 2am if I need to. Those that have to fit everything into daylight hours have it a lot worse I think. There just isn’t enough time in the day.

So for some, you know who you are, the end of school kicks them into high gear/warp speed, running around in a frenzy. I’m doing the opposite this year. I’m focused on the last week activities yes, but not overly so. The party is on my mind, but I planned it well enough that everything that can be done, is really already done. The only thing left to be concerned about is the weather, and that, I’m pretty sure is beyond my control. My last check of the 10 day forecast says 81 with only a 10% chance on rain.

The other thing that is getting a lot closer is my annual scrap retreat. This year we are going to Scrap Palace for a few days (Thurs.-Sun.). I’m happy to be so stinkin close to departure. It seems like all I say anymore is, “I miss scrapbooking.” It’s been awhile since I’ve had the time, energy, or concentration to do something for myself. Last night i ordered prints, which I haven’t done in a long time. I used the coupon code for Snapfish that I had posted the other day and got free shipping. Hopefully they turn out ok. I haven’t used Snapfish since I used to mail in rolls of film. I do think shipping was a little high, and had I not had a coupon for free shipping, the price would have stopped me from ordering. That and they charge MI Sales Tax. I think the shipping total refund was a little over 12.00! Is it me or is that a lot? I did have 219 photos, but still, that seems high. I don’t have any idea how quick they ship either. I’d like to have time to sort and pick paper and stuff to match the photos before I go. We’ll see.

Anyway, so my message for today… while everything is getting closer to happening, ending, being due, whatever… I’m not stressing about it. I’ve got plenty of other things I could be stressing about, and I’m sure you do too.
