Easter’s On Its Way

On Monday evening, Tom and I had a long talk about Easter plans. This was going to be the first Easter with no kids…and frankly, we decided we weren’t too sad about that. He’s been working a ton. So have I. We’ve got a couple of projects that we’re working on in the house, so everything is out of place and cluttered.

No kids coming home meant no big meals to cook. No month’s worth of laundry to do. No Easter candy to buy and sample.

It was going to be strange…but just fine. Actually, we talked about going to Cincinnati’s new casino on Saturday night.

Then my daughter called yesterday and said she was coming home for Easter. Next thing I know, I said she should bring home friends.

So, over dinner last night, I told Tom that the casino was out. A houseful of sorority girls was in. And that we needed Easter baskets. And to clean up everything. Did he want a ham on Saturday night? Should we have a big breakfast before church on Sunday or a brunch after the services? And, well, since it’s finally stopped snowing…perhaps I needed a new Easter dress. Now that we were going to be having company and all…

My husband just looked at me and smiled.

Yep, things are hectic again, but I’m happy.

What about you? What are your plans for Easter?
