Y’all, my friend here had a flight to catch yesterday in ATL going to Oakland to see her son for the first time in two years. She was so excited about the trip and she texted me when she got to the airport that as soon as she stepped foot in she got sick- like food poisoning sick. She made it 5 hours on a plane across country with food poisoning. Do not want. Talk about nightmares.

I realized last night that while I take C to the mall like twice a week and we wave at the Easter Bunny, I never actually took him up so I forced all 4 kids to go see him first thing this morning (my middle schooler was thrilled). C was super excited but then screamed when I handed him off. My picture is pretty good though.
I have a million things I should be doing for Easter at the beach but I have been sitting around doing nothing. Amazon sent us 1 out of 3 boxes needed to build the new bunk beds so after hours of fighting with them last night, I canceled and now have to figure out where I’m going to put everyone tomorrow night.

Hi guys! How is everyone? I am happy to say things in my life are going great!! My h finally found a good job. My job is great! Things are finally looking up for us after the worst year and a half of my life and my marriage. But we are emerging out the other side even stronger than I could have ever hoped for. I hope you all are good. I know a meet up is coming up. I wish I could go. What’s new with everyone?

Hey. We met some friends at the zoo this morning and I got eggs boiled so we can dye them later. Both girls are napping and then it’s grocery shopping this afternoon. It’s gorgeous outside today and tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer. Yay spring! chrisy01 I’m so sorry girl. I hope your bosses figure something out or you get an amazing opportunity somewhere else. It sucks to be unhappy at your job. Hey melaniesue! I’m glad things are all going well for your fam. Stick around! |

Girls, could you send the weather gods this way? We’re supposed to go camping in a few days and the weather was looking great. With an emphasis on was... Now the forecast is a full week of rain. I was really looking forward to some time out of the city with the kids  . |

A's friend had this picture made into a canvas. Its him and A (A on the right) doing an impossible field weld in the mud down in a pit in January so also snow. But in black and white, it's seriously so cool. He was afraid I would hate it and apologized a million times that he ordered it so large. 3 feet by 4 feet. But it looks so awesome.  |

I forgot to mention. The geese were vicious this morning at the zoo. One ran right up to my friend’s 2 year old and then chased my other friend’s 5 year old. We were literally just trying to walk down the sidewalk and the bird didn’t like it.

30 eggs filled and all the Easter basket goodies are in my closet. My is picking up her scooter tomorrow, along with the new TV her ordered without telling me first. 70 inches. There's nothing wrong with our current tv that is like 60 or something. I'm annoyed, but it was his money. I told him since he had so much spare change lying around he could pay for Cadence's gymnastics camp in July.

When I got back to my parents house I asked if they would watch S so I could go do some child free shopping. My mom decided my dad could handle it by himself and came with! Then my sister said she may dump her 4 kiddos off with her H and join us too. So some unexpected girl time with mom and sis! Also I told my mom I wanted to go get a pedicure so she decided to give me my birthday present early, a gift card for a pedicure. Lol. She had just picked it up this morning. She also got me a gift card for a massage. I’ll get that next time I’m in town.

Maybe it’s too tall, mamabear. It looks okay in the first picture, but out of place in the second. Could you try to flip the chair and the loveseat? Maybe more space between it would help create the balance? Or you could try turning the orientation of the table instead. |

Where is@flamingo? We need her expertise! I agree mamabear that something is off but I’m not sure what. It does look a bit big. |

mamabear I think it’s too big. An oval seems like it would work better to me.

Today was suppose to be terrible rain all day but it held off and we had a beautiful day. It is suppose to rain overnight but if so, tball will be canceled and I can head down to get ready for Easter. I have all the Easter stuff for 7 kids that I need to stash in a locked suitcase and drive down in plain view of the kids. I’m going to try to at least stuff the eggs tonight. The Easter bunny always does a morning egg hunt and then we do one later. I think I’m going to get ready for the first one then make the big kids restuff for the second hunt later when my other sister gets there. T wants to make sure we leave the bunny a letter saying we are at the other house.

The movie was a big hit with Colin. I don't think he entirely got the story, though he did tell DH that I got scared because the Mom was sick. There were parts I expected him to get scared but he was just so into it, it was really cute. Then we met up with DH for pizza and Col insisted on driving home with him. I love their relationship right now, it makes me so happy.
