On Easter Monday
Our Easter was good. It is too bad that holidays have a knack of sneaking up on me. Always wish I had done more, was better prepared, made it more special. I realize that my children are growing up way too fast and that they will remember these days for a long time. I am just the stick in the mud that gets focused on other things and then gets caught unprepared. Makes me feel guilty. No one ever told me about mommy guilt. For that matter no one told me about regular guilt. I have more than my share of each.
Today was a lay about day. Should have been more productive. I am finding I have lazy days. It is more fun when my hubby is home to just hang out with him than actually WORK on something. I always have something that needs doing. With kids it seems there is always something that needs to be done. Wonder what I was ever busy doing when I didn’t have them and why didn’t I get busy doing a ton of ‘no kids’ things then? Oh well. So it was a lazy day. Add chocolate to that and it made for a nice day. Plus it was sunny and warm. Not bad for a Great Plains April day. I will like the 50 degree weather we are supposed to get. I am not ready for it to be this hot.
So now since I had my lazy day will that infiltrate the rest of the week and make my week lazy or crazy. Perhaps both. All I know is that if I don’t get some of that darn Easter candy away from me my weight loss will slide and being this close to my next goal it would be a sad thing to slide. I did have some obnoxious days- Sat & Sun & Mon. So back on task tomorrow. Besides I feel like a slug when I am bad and it isn’t just the guilt that drags me down. Like they say junk in junk out. Just wish my mouth didn’t hurt. Braces sure don’t make life easy and using them to get teeth is not fun. So give the kids who are teething or have braces a break.
I had better wrap up this ramble. Time to get going. Tomorrow is another day. And a tired mom isn’t a good thing it is a crabby stuffing face thing. A scary thing.
You updated! I’ve been checking every day
I kind of wish holidays would sneak up on me. I’m uber prepared to the point of “what the heck is the matter with you?” I’ve had the kids’ Easter goodies for almost 3 months. Jonas’ birthday present (Leapster) is already purchased and hiding in my closet. I know exactly what Maggie is getting for her birthday (wooden kitchen); I’m just waiting for Target to get it back in stock. I already have Jan’s Christmas present. It’s kind of sick isn’t it? Perhaps you have holidays sneak up on you because you are living more in the “now”. I am always five steps ahead of myself forgetting about today.
