Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! Time to get sick off of Chocolate bunnies, peeps, jelly beans, and foil eggs (or whatever other sugary snack you'll get) I've only had a few peeps and foil eggs and I'm already feeling sick.... I remember when I was little I could eat bunches and bunches of candy until I was sick... now it just takes 4 pieces of chocolate to make me sick :P but the kids had an outdoor Easter egg hunt for the first time in several years, I had to hunt too.. but I found 22 eggs without even trying xD Easter still has it's special magic over me... same with Christmas, even though my parents have told me it's them years and years ago!

it's so cute how the little kids wake you up and are squirming with excitement, and you remember how you felt the same way once upon a time. and they're finding eggs as fast as they can while you play along finding one egg at a time while rubbing the sleep outta your eyes.

Ah..... the joys of Easter....

but anyways, I hope you all have a blessed Easter!

Easter, separating, and memories

so... easter's tomorrow :) today me and mom get to color eggs, get the kids all excited for the Easter bunny and then stay up late after Easter Vigil and decorate. Honestly, I think the kids are WAY more excited for the candy since we rarely have any in the house.

But this Easter kinda signifies our first Easter with my parents separated. Next month will be the one year mark of my parents not living together. I was so scared, it's not even funny, to live in a place far from home, sleeping in a bed that isn't yours, even eating food that wasn't yours is unnerving. but there was still a sense of security for me. My experience in a battered womens shelter was something I wished, back then would never happen to me. But it did. we stayed there for a while and then went back home.. It was actually more scary to go back home than to go to the shelter.

so yeah! that's what I remember from last year :P

hope you all have a blessed Easter!
