Staying on your A game this time of year takes some doing and May goes even faster, with graduations and year's end ceremonies. Scrambling at the last minute doesn't work for my household. There's nothing fun about last-minute trips to the store and night-before craft projects and before you know it, you're hot-gluing caterpillar antennae onto clothes pins at 2 a.m. with a mug of cold coffee and your own tears.
