Well, Easter is almost over, Dinner was a success, and the kids all had a great time hunting eggs.
Then 8:00 came around and Red threw up twice, once in the kitchen sink and once in the bathroom. At least he hit something other than the floor both times. I think it was a combination of too much candy and sinus drainage from playing outside most of the day and not taking any allergy medication. He seems to be recovering OK, so we now wait to see how he feels in the morning.
I have an extra kid for the night. My niece's boyfriend made some really bad choices and ended up very ill. So she was in the ER with him most of the night and my Mother-in_law was with her, so they asked if my nephew could stay here for the night so that they could go to bed early. So he is here. Sometimes I don't realize he is here, but then other times it is like he is a brier patch and annoys the living daylights out of everyone. I guess he is just like my kids.
I enjoyed our church service this morning. It was nice seeing the church pretty full. Or at least it looked full to me. I am looking forward to the next sermon series that pastor is doing. It will be interesting to see what questions are asked.
I really am not sure what I am feeling right now, relief that the day went well (with a few minor issues), frustration that I didn't "enjoy" the day more, I think that is the big one. I wasn't really "present" emotionally today and I wish I had been. I love my extended family, but they can be a bit much and cause me to shut down. Not sure where to go with this thought, but realizing it this soon after the event has got to be progress.
Well, I think that I am going to end this for now and go to bed. The kids are in bed, hubby is in bed, the pets are all set for the night, I should go to bed also.
Tomorrow is another day and I will try to allow some feelings into it. Won't be easy, but it will be good.
Night all.
