Mixed up ramblings of a bipolar mom to 4…

Easter…

Sunday Apr 16, 2006

Has officially worn me out and it hasnt even began yet! Lets see.. Last night I had to go to the store late and leave the kids with hubby.. This is the first year this has really been an issue.. Because now the kids are old enough to know the big bunny did not bring the baskets if they see mom buying them at walmart.. This is also the first year that i’ve not put hte baskets together myself but paid for a basket that has already been put together.. BAD MOM!!!!!!!! I’m just worn out.. Plus we do very little candy anyhow.. I got baskets that had something small in it for each child and only 3/4 small packs of candy.. We do NOT do much candy..

Then I was on my wya home from a very crowded store and my cell rings.. Its dh telling me to get home NOW that he is very sick.. AND that he vomited all over the bathroom floor.. Now i’m sorry at this point he is sick but upset over coming home to vomit all over the floor.. Because.. Me.. When i’m sick.. Guess who cleans it up? Not dh.. ME.. Guess who cleans up the kids messes.. ME! Now I had to clean up dh’s too? I understand he is sick..But when its me.. Sick or not.. I still have to clean it up..

It took me forever to get home.. I had to stop at a lil store and get him some 7up and some meds.. By the time I had gotten home he did infact clean it up..And i’m so glad.. I was NOT looking forward to that.. He was mad that he had to clean it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine! Do I get mad when I have to clean it up? NO.. UPset.. yes.. Mad? NO.. Its part of being an adult. You dont have someone to clean up your messes at all time sick or not..

Anyhow.. He swore up and down he had food poisoning.. I swore up and down he had the virus going around and he’d be fine in 24 to 48 hours.. Now he wasnt buying this.. But needless to say.. Today.. He did have a fever (classic syptom of the virus going around) and the vomiting is over.. He feels better and his fever has broken..

But he is still going to stay home tom.. Instead of going to family functions.. Better safe than sorry when it comes to him.. And he has high potential to make everyone around him miserable if he doesnt feel well..

Tonight I dyed 50 eggs with the help of sugar.. She of course had to help.. Which meant dye spilled EVERYWHERE..LOL.. Thankfully I had put down a ton of newspaper.. My fingers are pretty shades of purple, pink, blue and green.. Its gonna take days to come off..

Every year I end up with multi colored hands..LOL This year though my shirt made it through with out dye on it.. :) I can’t wait till all this is over (the family functions) I’d prefer to stay home and have a small family thing with just my kids and dh.. instead of running all over as i’ve been super tired and dh’s family is never happy with the amount of time we can stay and I have to go to my family get together as well. Which this year is super important because my sister is having it at her house for the first time ever. Not only is this her first time to ever host Easter but also the first time to have any get together at her house.. And she is excited.. So its important that we be there and we be there on time. We often do not do the family thing on easter with my family.. So dh’s family gets us as long as they want us.. This year they are super ticked that we wont be there the whole day with them.. They will get over it right? I’m GOING to my sisters..they will get over it.. We spend EVERY holiday with them..

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
