Yesterday we spent the whole day outside,it was beautiful. we played at the park and went for a bike ride.  Today when my alarm went off at 6 am, I could barely swallow. Then I went into A's bedroom to get him up for school and he had a temp of 101! So right now we are sitting in front of the TV watching movies....

I am looking forward to Easter this year. We bought a huge goose that hubby thinks he can cook, my MIL will be in town to gently guide him threw the cooking process. My FIL Can tucker the boys out and i will be working the entire 4 day weekend! Honestly I don't really mind working the holiday I get paid time and a half, my customers will be in good spirits. And I get to come home to a home cooked meal that I didn't have to cook! My MIL spoils me rotten, when I get home from work I can put my feet up an relax, and sneak a snuggle or two from the turdherders!!!

I only started doing the whole Easter egg hunt last year, before that it just seemed like a waste. A was only 4 and P was just starting to walk.  I just couldnt get into it. I remember one year when I was pregnant with P a coworker had asked what I planning for a hunt with A, I replied nothing, A didn't even know about the Easter bunny. The coworker then went on and on about me being a terrible mother and how cruel it was to not enlighten him about the Easter bunny and his many chocolate friends. I cried, alot. I couldn't believe what she had said and even worse what if it was the truth!!!  Now I am older and wiser, and I don't believe I deprived my boys of anything. It seems like there is always a holiday on the way....

What are your Easter  rituals.? Is there a holiday you don't celebrate? 

I am a mom to 2 wonderful boys!  A is 6 going on 16, and P is 3.  Right now my biggest struggle is SLEEP!  It seems so elusive, most nights I work until 11pm and then I am up at 6 to start getting A ready for school.  I had this past weekend off and I napped! It was glorious, however waking up this morning at 6, I looked around a noticed all the housework that needs to be done.  I am feeling slightly ashamed that I chose sleep over housework.

I feel guilty, on my days off I should be cleaning the house and setting an example for the boys not laying around snoozing on the couch.  I want to be one of those moms who can keep the house clean,take the kids to zoo, work out and make a healthy and nutritious dinner!  The reality is more like, invent a "crazy pyjama" day so I don't have to get dressed, have a "backwards meal" day which is leftover pizza for breakfast and cereal for dinner.....

I am looking forward to the days when the boys are teenagers who sleep till noon.....
