Not sure what area you're from, but here most lawns are Kentucky Blue Grass / Perennial Rye Blend, or Turf Style Tall Fescue. Both can have a germination rate of 30 days, so if you get in the 80's in May, definitely look at the time it takes for the seed your buying to germinate.  I have a few patches to fix as well, I tend to use my sod cuttings from edging my flower beds, and just stomp them into place to fill in any bare areas.  One area is too big, from dog we had, that I'll have to wait until fall to fix and will require tilling, adding soil, seeding, straw, starter fertilizer, and fencing it off with temporary fence, to keep the dog and kids off of it.  But it's been that way for too many years so I'm kinda getting used to it.  I may just throw some spare flagstone down to hide it for this season, since it's the main walk way off our patio to the kids play area.  It's been a real pain to get growing, and stay growing. I've been dealing with it yearly and can get grass growing, but it dies off by July/August.
