Easter, Jesus, and Stuff.....

ok so Easter....a day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.....if you are Catholic and you go to church regularly sure that sounds great. In my case it's just another reason to stuff my face. I usually go to church on Easter, but I decided this year to tired. Which is ok with my kids and husband, so what does that say? It tells me that the whole concept of Easter is completely lost on my kids. My husband went to Catholic school his whole life and I know more about religion than he does...so to my kids Easter is a day for the bunny to come and for them to get candy. I pretty much suck at religion...

I also can't understand why people give my kids chocolate bunnies the size of their heads, let me fill you in on something...THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO EAT THE DAMN THINGS....That is just absolutely ridiculous....they would be bouncing off the walls for days!!!

and let's talk about the colored eggs...ok first of all me and my cousin bought 7 dozen eggs between us. Boiled the damn things, which completely stinks up the whole entire house. I then piled the kids into the car and traveled over to my cousins house to color them. Between the two of us we have 4 kids....ages 9, 6, 5, and 3...so we get everything set up and they color the eggs for approximately 35 minutes and then they announce that they are bored and want to go and play...great so combined they colored maybe 3 dozen eggs. That leaves 4 dozen eggs for me and my cousin to color...REALLY??....sometimes I would like to yell get your little shit butts over here and sit down and have fun coloring these smelly ass eggs dammit, but alas I say ok go and play have fun. and I am resigned to sit and color 4 dozen eggs, which then becomes a competition between me and my cousin as to who can color the best egg....I won this year in case you were wondering....it was a glorious win as this is the first time that I have ever won in 39 years....

so then we take our 3 dozen eggs and go home only to leave them in the refrigerator where they continue to smell or make 26 pounds of egg salad which nobody eats....hmp so they start out smelling up my house and they end up smelling up my house....who started this tradition anyway....truly awful....

then you get to come home and put away all of the little trinkets that the Easter Bunny and the grandparents passed out, because it is not enough that the bunny brings them shit, each grandparent has to give them a basket full of nonsense as well. To grandparents everywhere I say thanks for the piles of stuffed animals, yo-yo's, chalk etc that you feel the need to bring over everytime you stop by...in reality I would like to say CUT THE CRAP...I live in a cape...or haven't you guys noticed I have no room for the 600 things that you bought for a dollar...love you but I will pass.

And why does everyone feel the need to shove leftovers down your throat...omg please take something home there is so much leftover. No thanks I am all set....ok great I will make you a plate?? What umm NO.. I don't want to take home 3 pounds of ham and a pile of green beans...really I'm good..

lol I love bitching but I really had a great Easter...
