मम् Easter

I really need to figure out why my titles are being translated into Asian characters.

Mmmm Easter,

I don't know what my parents remember about Easter, or rather the Easter they created for us. Church was always a big part of it. I remember, whether it is true or not, my mother making me a new 'Easter' outfit every year. I loved the sunrise service, though I always wished it was a little warmer. We aren't Jewish, but we did the Seder and LOVED IT every year.

I am struggling to make this kind of impact on my kids. Church, God, it is all important to me, but not as much to my husband. How can I emphasize the importance of something if 1/2 of my parenting team isn't in on the action? I dunno. For now M* loves to go to church, and at (almost)4 I don't really care why she wants to go, but that she does. My son L* is too little to care much beyond his bottle, soother and Mommie. I do wish I had more support in this area, though I am mostly grateful that I'm not getting much resistance. We still need to have the kids baptized (You hear that R*? we are going to be having that chat again soon. It's important to me.)

Anyway, I am incredibly sad that R* is away this Easter, and that the entire 5 days have been taken up by some stupid kung foo / taekwondo docu-crap (sorry hon, but I'm pissed off) So tomorrow I spend the day with my beautiful children, my wonderful church friends and my girlfriends family (Thanks SASK) No Easter dinner and no husband. I know I'll be with people all day, but I also know I'll be lonely.

Happy Easter loves.
