seems like a friday

kids are officially on easter break...i guess that means no curfew??? megan is out with friends to see a movie and i just picked kelsey up at an indoor soccer game on the west shore (she was watching this time, not playing). there is at least one extra person sleeping over maybe two.

i have one more day off...i understand part of that day is to go shopping for white shoes for sunday. apparently the twins have been sharing a pair of white dress shoes and are running into issues for easter sunday.

kinda glad i don't have to deal with that issue this year. (having to work saved me some money not having to shop for an easter outfit for me). i often look back into the archives to see what we were doing at this time last year and this time the year before. it has come to my attention that things have been rather CRAPPY the last few easters...really CRAPPY.

last year easter was in march and tim was in the hospital (i believe they discharged him on easter sunday).

the year before was the easter that he found the lump on his rib and a week or so after he was diagnosed with his relapsed lymphoma.

can't really say that this one is going to rate real high up on my list either.

i just have to remember "the reason for the season" and keep in mind that it is not about me or how i feel or whether or not i work or whether or not i can get to church or spend time with family. what we celebrate on easter sunday is what gets me through each and every day that i have to live without tim being around. it is the assurance that i know without a shadow of doubt that CHRIST rose from the dead and the tomb was empty. tim is in heaven right now celebrating easter in a way that we will never understand until we someday join him.

thanks for checking in
