Happy Easter Everybody!

Happy Easter!

We started out having a semi traditional Easter with the kids.  Hiding easter eggs over and over again until they finally got tired of it.  We decided not to do the traditional Easter dinner, and settled on bbq sausages.  I loved it, I would much rather do something simple on holidays or eat out some where that has it all than cook myself.  I would much rather spend the time with my family.  My husband is a big time pork eater, so he wasn't complaining eating all those sausages.  I stuck with chicken sausages, which I love.  

We then took the kids downtown to the inlet to see if the bike trail was cleared of snow yet, so the kids could fly their kites on it .  Sure enough, couldn't see NONE of it, I was so depressed.  Got to see the inlet though, which was nice.  Frozen ice drifting down it was sort of nea****ching.   

Then the day turned bad.  None of you know, but I'm extremely stressed over the next two months with tons going on and not enough money.  Sure enough, we get in our car and it made a LOUD screaming noise all the way home.  Needless to say now my husband has to drive my car to work (he works an hour away).  Now I have no way to get my senior to school since she only goes two hours a day.  She has four weeks left, so I don't know what I"m going to do.  Pretty stressed out tonight trying to figure out what I can sale...maybe a kidney??  Lol, I'm really stuck!

Now it's hailing outside...pfffft   Lol, something has got to give!

Well, at least your holiday started out good.  I say if you have to sell something, it should be one of those young 'uns...they're too expensive to keep!  Not really, it's just a thought.  

I'm definitely going to put you in my prayers for transportation.  I'd bring her to school for you, but it's a li'l far for the commute!

I hope things start looking up soon,

Hol...all to say is to give it up to God and ask for direction on the money! Also, your family, even the kids can help you - this does not have to fall on you alone unless you choose that.

Example: Your senior in High school can work this out.  She has friends...have her get on the phone and start calling for rides to HS this last leg. Hells bells my folks NEVER EVER took me no place my whole life. I'm not kidding. Not even to Brownies when I was in 2nd grade. We walked ten blocks to school. In northern Illinois. Sub zero weather.

Parents these days - me included - do waaaaay too much for kids. There's even a term for it:  Helicopter Moms. Hovering and doing it all - the kids cannot even think their way out of paper bags!


Call in some favors here, Holly! I'll throw in a prayer, too.
