Holy Week

Each night this week- I asked for extra prayers this Holy Week- for us to really remember what it's about. Did it work? Oh geeze, I don't know? It didn't look like it by our behavior this weekend! Sometimes, I just throw my hands up and say, "What am I doing?!" Why do they act so entitled and bratty?! How did they get this way? Who am I raising?! Lots of screaming! Not that I meant it to go down this way...I made some wonderful, healthy meals! I planned fun things! I read stories and played tickle monster! Not good enough. Sometimes, it just goes down hill....fast. Like, Monday afternoon at Walmart. It was just nasty. That morning was MOPS. I'll have to write up that blog soon. Plants- blah! We had another swim lesson that evening. Voss started crying when we hit the circle! Oh dear! Tuesday was so fun with a Birthday lunch for Meghan at Biscotti's. An extra fun thing for the week! Tennis Tuesday and more swim! As soon as I left, he was fine! Abby had an Easter party at school on Wednesday, It was a crazy day because Steve stained our stairs so we had to be out. I sold hands in the carpool line, another swim lesson and kids night at TCC. We spent the night at my parent's house. No one slept well. But, awesome shower! I had the Kerkezi boys on Thursday for their spring break. We did water sports then afternoon driving with ballet pics and Owen's swimming, Too much traffic for me- I was totally tapped out. And then we had Girl Scouts! of course I messed up and forgot to pick up early to hear Marly's presentation. Friday we did Stations of the Cross then to the Hollands for the after-party. I left for a bit to deliver a meal, talk to the irrigation guy and deliver Marly to a Birthday party at the ballpark. Busy day! What a Good Friday! Saturday was the TCC Easter Egg Hunt, a bit of a break and tennis for Phil then the Cochran kids Birthday party! Early bedtime again, which is good because the Easter Bunny arrived! This morning began early with excitement! Mermaid tails, dance ribbons, toy boats and a stolen Cadbury egg! We did mass (Voss was AWFUL!) then lunch with my parents and Fr. James. We ended with a pool party at the Suters. Early bedtime again, oh my! Happy Easter to you and your family!
