The garage sale was had, the eggs were colored... dinner has been prepared and cleaned, and the girls have been bathed and are *gasp* playing in their playroom.
I am worn slick. I feel like I have been to nowhere and back for nothing and missed a plane while I was at it.
There is really nothing to look forward to other than bedtime and getting ready for the Easter Bunny. Which, BTW, may not show up tonight because the BLM axed about him 7 MILLION FREAKING TIMES.
We went to Mimi/Papalicious household to tan and kill time. Mimi gave the LM's their Easter Baskets. The questions started. "Is the EB really coming tonight? Are you just teasing me?" Those were not the only questions. Those were just the start of the questions. I cannot even list all of the questions here, because I might kill the EB if I see him. I had to tell her to stop it with the questions or the EB would NOT visit her. Don't even get me started on the questions about coloring the eggs and how the EB was going to find them and what would happen if it was raining. Sweet Dear Lord Baby Jesus! Why can't a holiday be JUST ABOUT JESUS????
Speaking of which, we are trying a new church tomorrow. I swore on my life that I would never go to a Church of Christ (please, Dear Readers, forgive me of my ignorance and my prejudice). Papalicious was raised staunch C of C. To hear him tell tales, it sounded more like a cult (again, please forgive me of my ignorance). I have been going (infrequently) to the First United Methodist Church and I love it b/c of the beauty of the sanctuary and real-life sermons. The only thing I don't love is that I have to get dressed to the hilt on Sunday. By Sunday I'm tired of getting dressed to the hilt after doing it 5 days a week.
Long story longer, my parents want to go to the C of C tomorrow. If I don't like it, my kids won't be going back. For one thing, I know they do not allow women in leadership positions and that goes against my grain. I am also very liberal in my thinking in regards to sexual preference as well as drinking. I can't and won't go to a church that does not condone these things. So- I may be out of the church biz for awhile until I find a non-denominational church that suits me.
Truthfully, I get tired by Sunday of having to BE SOMEWHERE on a schedule and I'd rather just drink coffee and make breakfast and do laundry. Does that make me a bad person? It just might, but that's how I am. It's the way I are.

Amen sister!!!
Good Luck!
I'm not a Church person. It was forced on me as a young child, never again!
Girl, hang in there! An awesome church ROCKS!!! You will find one that you love one day and will want to go every chance you get. I can't wait to share Easter pics with you. Happy Easter!

the church experience was OK. I was not "engaged" like I wanted to be. I was distracted by who was there and whatnot. I know I'm lame.
Angry Julie- My parents were forced upon by their parents. That is why I didn't have a strong church upbringing. I don't want to force it on my kids. I want it to be a natural and enjoyable experience, ja know?
I can completely understand your concerns about churches that don't have women in a lot of leadership positions. I'm fairly liberal on a lot of fronts, and I didn't feel comfortable when visiting some churches including a C of C one where some of Hubs' relatives attended. Have you tried out a Presbyterian (PCUSA) church? We attend one now and I am so glad we're at one that fits the whole family so well.
Girl, I am so with you on the spiritual quest. I am so dissapointed in what I have found so far that i am thinking of starting my own religion. I want one that loves all peoples, no matter of sexual preference or sins, I want to celebrate the holidays that involve food and presents and not fire and brimstone. I want to be happy when I pray and take part in a service, not worry about my past transgressions sending me straight to hell. Cause let me tell you, based on what I've done, I am driving the bus to hell. Good luck in finding a spiritual home!
