All week I've felt guilty. My poor blog has been suffering feelings of rejection as I've logged on to the computer, yet failed to offer any words of assurance that I'm committed to her. So here I am.
Have I ever mentioned I don't multi-task? My computer operates just fine, performing simultaneous functions. I, on the other hand, can't even think about or plan more than one thing at a time. I can't plan Easter events before the last birthday celebration is completed. When I'm shopping for groceries on Monday I was able to buy for the week's meals, including a birthday dinner for Hilary. But forget planning for Easter dinner. My brain just cannot work all of those thoughts out. Easter snuck in way too early this year.
Yesterday was not only the end of the week and Good Friday, but it was officially the start of Spring Break for my school kids. Woohoo! That sort of snuck up on me too. Since I can't plan ahead, immediately I wanted to pack up the car and take off to some exotic location. (Ok, Arizona isn't exactly exotic, but warm & wild enough for me.) Gas prices don't scare me. (I don't pay the bills.) But Elisabeth has committed to house sitting for cousins who are at this moment, enjoying the tropics of Arizona. I'd feel awful leaving her behind with a houseful of pets. Sigh.
The good news? On Thursday, Christopher is boarding a plane in sunny Arizona and flying to not-quite-spring-yet Colorado. Ethan is on Spring break, so Christina and he will drive up to share in the fun. My house will be full. The heck with Spring Break, it will feel more like summer vacation.

The good news is that Easter won't be this early in another 200 years!!!
I hope you have a wonderful week!!! My kids are off too.
Small churches have the same effect on me. they feel all intimate and personal. I'm used to the zillions of people (our children's ministry has as many as 1500 kids a week), so I just love me a small congregation for a change-up.
Hope your Easter is filled with peace & joy with your family and with our Savior!
Easter really is early -- we had another blizzard yesterday!! :) Enjoy your Spring break and the kids.
It did sneak up on us! Just today I got all my Easter dinner groceries. Happy Easter, Joanne! Have a beautiful day with your family :)
Yes, too much to think about! All the holidays are so close -- Valentine's, St. Patrick's Day, Good Friday, Easter . . . and my kids want to celebrate them ALL! Even the first day of spring which was in the middle of all that. (They would celebrate Passover, if I thought about it, lol -- we do like to watch "The Ten Commandments.")
Should be a great week. You guys sound like a fun family!
No feeliing guilty about stuff you can't help! ((((Jeni)))) I can't multitak either. I try, and I get flummoxed!
