Hey y'all, I'm OK. Hate being on pain pills but it seems like the tooth pain is getting better. I'm just in a funk, it seems like there is always something wrong with me. It sucks getting old. Thanks for caring, love y'all.

I'm sorry you're down.



My husband is working on the taxes. So far, we owe the feds but he's not done with either state yet. I'm praying we don't owe to all of them. I'm frustrated because every time I get some savings designated for "house down payment" they get drained. I'll still have emergency fund, but this scrapes off the top of the savings that were sort of earmarked for a down payment. grrrrr

At least I'm not creating debt.

hey all went to see Wicked today...awesome show! have been having issues with Jeff and the lawyer and silly demands. lot of stress but was glad to see Bethany the other day for a few minutes. church was awesome last night...got to rest a lot and recharge the last few days. miss you guys and hope to get together with you soon!

Bethany- maybe it is US, but that is the way it is for us almost every year, but THANKFULLY it all balances out somehow and you're right about not accruing debt for it! I just blame it on being in the middle middle class.

Kristina- praying for you

Kathy- hope you get that tooth fixed up and off the meds soon!

Gnight-Lori

Happy Easter !!!

Church was great this morning, so fun to see all the kiddies in their Easter finest and singing their little hearts out.

Looking forward to some yummy food with all the family.

Inlaws are here and of course Jack is being spoiled rotten !


Have a wonderful day!

How are you feeling Kat?

I woke up to an Easter miracle, my toothache is gone!

Happy Easter my friends.

It looks like it'll be a beautiful spring day.

I hope all of you enjoy this joyous day.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

I took some nightquil yesterday around three, fell asleep at 4 and woke up with a lot of prodding from Sean at 9:30 this morning. The Easter Bunny hadn't put the baskets together yet so I still had to do that this morning with the boys chomping at the bit to get their Easter candy high going. I had planned on taking them to church this morning, but just couldn't get it together in time. Instead we went to Popeyes to pick up some lunch. I hate being sick over a holiday, makes me feel like the world worst mother.

I do hope that everyone enjoys themselves today.

I have been thinking about Popeyes all day!

Sorry you're still feeling crummy. And you're not a bad mom. Stop beating yourself up.

Your boys will look back upon this Easter with fondness when they're older. Hey, if I can talk Tim into going to Popeye's we might have that for Easter dinner tonight.
I'm feeling crappy. It's a combination of Rie not being here for the holiday and not sleeping enough. However, I did force myself to go to MIL's for lunch. This will be the last Easter in the big house besides I'm crazy about her and I know it meant a lot that I went.
It's gorgeous outside!!! Have a great afternoon everyone.

Kathy, I didn't mean to overlook your post in my earlier post! I am so glad you are feeling better!

I have already talked my DH into Popeyes tonight!

Sorry your day is not great.

Happy Easter y'all!

Cara- Don't feel bad! I guess I'm a bad mom too. Easter eggs didn't get dyed last night because Erik was super extra crabby/needy/whiny all day & night yesterday, so the eggs just didn't happen. We also didn't grill because it started raining, so dinner barely got cooked either. And today, no Easter egg hunt because DD had to go to MIL's early because she was taking her to church- by the time she got home, DH had to get ready for work, so the egg hunt was scratched (and Erik is still cranky). At least she got a basket.

Ok, family drama/dilemma time. I found out that there will be a birthday party for my grandmother this month, and it is pretty far out from me in a fairly remote area (another relative's house). I don't feel really comfortable about driving out there by myself with the kids because I am not familiar at all with the area and I've been told it is really easy to get lost out there if you are not familiar with it. I know I will panic if I get lost- not good with the little ones- so I'm not sure if I should go. DH will probably be working; if not, he'd go with me and it would probably be fine. Plus, this is family I've had problems with, so that adds to my hesitation of course. For the record though, I've been to the last two of her birthday parties closer to my area (of which were not that well attended by the family that lives in the remote area because it was "too far out" ), so I guess I shouldn't feel that guilty. Ugh, what to do, what to do...

Do you have a GPS? You can borrow mine if you want to go and don't have one. Sounds like Erik might be "sick" that day, though.

I don't have a GPS, but I thought about borrowing one. But it is like a hour and half away, ugh, I'd be driving longer than I'd actually be there! I'm thinking Sienna might be hitting her favorite spot on the couch that day too... (Sienna might be sick- inside joke with Bethany).

Just wanted to pop in real quick and wish everyone a Happy Easter! Love you all!!

Thanks!
DH brought home some 7 layer salad which I love, so Popeye's tomorrow night.

Happy Easter y'all!

Do what's best for you and your family.

I had to share this with you guys. Last night we were coming home from a day with family in MS. It was very late (about 2:00 in the morning and we were crossing the bridge to the West Bank. There were 2 police cars going extremely slowly on the left lane of the bridge. We slowed down to pass them and saw that they were escorting something across the bridge.......a GOAT! A goat crossing the Crescent City Connection! Twilight Zone time!

I still can't believe what I saw! I wish I had had my camera with me.

That must have been a sight!
