Thanking The Baby Jesus That Easter is O-V-E-R!

March 23, 2008 | Filed in: 'Tis The Season!, Death To The Children, I think its funny..., Laptop Love

I dunno about your kids, but mine do not react well when they switch from eating fruits, vegetables, and meat at each meal (er, mostly) to having an IV drip of liquid chocolate for 48 straight motherfucking hours. We chose to celebrate Easter at my parent’s house on Saturday evening, to celebrate at home Sunday morning and to celebrate at the in-law’s on Easter afternoon. Which meant that there were THREE egg hunts, THREE baskets full of candy each, and TWO very hyper, very annoying children.

Would you like to hear what my children had for breakfast? Jelly beans. And Reese’s eggs. Also? Big chocolate bunny ears.

I never thought I would say this, but CHOCOLATE? We are through. I break up.

(I’ll call you.)

So, what did the Easter Bunny bring you? I would tell you what he brought me, but you’d just get all jealous and tell me how much you hate me. No, really. You would. I know you.

While I’m thinking about it, am I the only one in the world that did not know the origins of the Easter Bunny and the eggs and all that jazz? I mean, seriously, the biggest Christian holiday EVAH and yet we celebrate with Pagan traditions? That makes me laugh.

Hope y’all had fun hunting eggs.

PS- He brought me a new laptop! Don’t hate me!

PPS-That’s not entirely true. He just ordered me one! It’ll be here soon!

PPPS-Peace out.

Say It!

A laptop is awesome! I got a cool mug full of chamomile tea, a dark chocolate bunny, and a Cadbury egg . . . I’m pretty darn happy with that!

Happy Easter

Janet, No chocolate? Over Easter? Are you crazy?

luckily we didn’t go overboard on the candy, nor did my in laws. yea about your new laptop

feener’s last blog post..What are your thoughts ???

I was actually really impressed with Julia. She found her basket and played with all the toys in it first before she even noticed the candy. It got to the point where I was kind of like, “Hey, those Peeps are looking good…want Mommy to open them? And can I have one?”

Congratulations on your new laptop!

A laptop?! Man, what’d you do for that Easter Bunny?! *evil grin*

I got peeps and a weird-ass yet amusing husband. Pics on my blog.

Dory’s last blog post..This one’s for mah peeps.

I’m with Dory. . . exactly what kind of relationship do you and the Easter Bunny have? And, is it good enough to get me a new laptop too?

Jerseygirl89’s last blog post..The Ex-Files

Dory, The Easter Bunny and I are very, very close…lets just leave it at that, mkay?

Oh baby, a new laptop! Lucky lucky girl!!!

What did I get for Easter? I got to count how many times FG’s mother told us where the ham came from. We had an over/under bet of 6. I said over and I won with hearing her say it 8 times in 2 1/2 hours. SMA lead her on a few times but FG informed me that she also said it two more times while they were in the kitchen and I wasn’t. So yep, that’s what I got for Easter. Doesn’t compare to a laptop but it did make for good entertainment to get through dinner. Thankfully nothing overboard as far as candy. I did good, MIL did good and FIL’s wife bought the really good eggs that the kids don’t appreciate so I get to eat them. Don’t tell her, she hates me and wants me to work my fingers to the bone on my house AND the business anyway.
Did the kids at least crash hard and sleep good from their sugar high?

Amy,
Did the ham come from somewhere special or what? Did she grow the pig and kill it with her bare hands?

The kids did have a good night’s sleep on Sunday, finally. Holidays totally ruin my kids.

A new laptop! You stink! Just kidding, what a great Easter gift. All that damn bunny brought me was a tummy ache!

Mrs. Schmitty’s last blog post..Never mind the ham

You got a laptop for Easter? I didn’t even get a fucking “good morning, sweetheart” for Easter.

I don’t hate you, though.

oh, rub it in, rub it in. the bunny brought me a migraine. I am being chased by a 2 year old, whose zen mantra is, “chocolatemama chocolatemama…”

shuey6’s last blog post..cucina

What did the Easter Bunny leave me you ask? Well being the pragmatist that freakin’ buck-toothed bastard is, he left me an industrial size bottle of Kaopectate and a 6-pack of Pedialyte, to deal with the after-effects of all that friggin chocolate on the Little Imp!

Wonderful bloke he is, that Easter Bunny.

By the way, personally, I can’t stand chocolate, and if I get my way next year, if he so much as hints at leaving any chocolate…screw ham, we’re having rabbit stew for dinner!

Aren’t most of our traditional Christian holidays overshadowed by some ridiculous pagan tradition. Take oh I dunno, Christmas for example. I think Macy’s started the whole Santa thing.
Hell, Jesus wasn’t even really born in December.
The Easter Bunny brought me nothing. I guess he figured I did a pretty good job lavishing my own self with gifts.
My kids were ok with the candy. Proof that they’ve built up a resistance to it I guess.
Ian got home from his Dad’s in time to go to dinner with us so we had the whole fam damnly out to dinner. It was actually really nice. No one fought and no one got drunk! A first.

Pam’s last blog post..I’m Definitely Not A Dugger, A Brady or even a Huxtable

AHHHHA… is that why my two little shits turned into monstrocities over the weekend??? Too much chocolate… NEVER AGAIN!

Chris H’s last blog post..NICE TO BE HOME

What did I get? A big fat bowl of NOTHING. Things 1 and 2 colored eggs and stained my table pink, blue, and purple. Favorite dog shit in the house. Husband crammed his cake hole full of Easter dinner at Mother-in-Law’s house, then asked for MORE food at 8:30 that night. Dinner at MIL’s included every single fucking food I love, but shouldn’t have. I made it through the entire weekend with only ONE HALF of one no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookie. I am woman hear me roar.

Miss Ann Thrope’s last blog post..Death of a Friendship… or Two.

yes yes and amen yes! over it. even threw away the bags o candy into the garbage- out of the bags and under dirty diapers so I would not eat them. Chocolate diet does not work well with breast feeding baby either. or 2 year old.

I am jealous once again of your gift receiving abilities. wtf?

good for you, though. really

Jolie’s last blog post..Easter fun

You didn’t know that Easter was pagan? Fertility? Oestrogen? Hello? Birth, eggs, spring, BUNNIES!! What are bunnies famous for? Yes, we are celebrating productive, fertile nookie here. I am sure Jesus wouldn’t mind, he’s probably happy His message is getting out there somehow.
