I got out of the house!

It was time, I was starting to feel all prisoner-ish. I conned Megan and Shirley into taking me out of the house yesterday. We went and got our nails done and had lunch. It was a lot of fun! And I can get around pretty well by now, just not as fast as I am used to.


Anyway, I successfully managed to get things for the kids' Easter baskets, only to have them BOTH find their way into my closet and squeal with delight at all of the hidden goodies.

Needless to say, Glynn and I had to make an additional Wal-Mart run today to get "surprise" Easter treats. Oh well. I'm far from a perfect mother, and I was cooping Brady up in the bathroom with me during my shower (in a successful attempt to keep him away from my makeup vanity) only to forget what I had hidden in the closet. I was in the shower, all shampooed and soaped up, when I heard a, "Look Mommy! Bunnies!"


Oops.


So anyway. Here I am, updating y'all of my exhilarating existence. Glynn's napping (poor guy is missing a LOT of sleep taking care of everything around here) and Megan and Shirley are shopping and going out to dinner and doing girl stuff. I'm boiling eggs so the kids and I can dye them in a bit and just started a load of laundry.


I know. Exhilarating. Jealous?


For an added twist, I'm going to hang up pictures too! All while doped up on Benadryl. I've got a wicked rash from surgery. My body didn't like the surgical scrub. I look like a leper. And I scratch like a dog.


Again. Jealous?


I don't care. I'm home with my family and that's all that matters. And I'm doing much better than I expected to after surgery.


Tomorrow we're going to have an egg hunt in the backyard so I'd better get to stuffing eggs sometime soon too. Having kids makes everything better. I don't know if we'll get to go to church yet since Brady INSISTS that I hold him throughout the ENTIRE service. So we've made a pact to get back to regular services as soon as I heal more. We've been missing our Sunday mornings together. It used to be the highlight of our week, but it's been lacking lately. Life gets so busy, I know that's no excuse but we really don't have one.


So that's our vow to each other and God. Get back to church on a routine basis. I know it will be good for us and our family.

That's all the deep thoughts I have for today.
