Easter Eve: Boil, Cool, Color. That was the rotation. The entire family gathered at Aunt Laura's house again this year to color eggs the night before Easter. We boiled at least 150 eggs, and colored them all. Sadly - only 104 survived till Easter morning because of cracks and deviled eggs... LoL. We all had such a good time! Until I left pissed off of course. Then my entire night was ruined. I just get tired of feeling like I have to live up to a person's standards. Some people have the world handed to them, others have to bust their ass to keep what little of a world they have on the right track. I ended up with the latter of the two. But I am not unhappy to say the least. I have busted my ass to get where I am today, to become the person I am today, and to have learned the things I know today. And because of that... I have a more accepting and understanding of life and reality than those who got the easy hand. And I am grateful. But when you have siblings who get the easy hand, and they are constantly making you feel like your not good enough, or that you need to live up to their standards.. at some point or another you are bound to break. And that's what happened. I broke. After holding it in for entirely too long... I finally snapped, and then of course.. leaving was what was best for everyone involved. Because had I not left.. I was liable to say some things to her that although they need to be said, are better left unsaid or at least one on one. Not with the entire family watching. So Paul, the kids and I packed up and headed on out. On a much happier note however, Caitlin and Jaymi had their prom tonight. With this being Caitlin's senior year, I know going to prom would be memories she would hold forever. Here's a picture of how beautiful they both looked!
Easter Day: The boys got out there and hunted for 104 eggs! Now last year, they couldn't find all of them. This year.. they found every last one. And with no help from the dogs - who were all eyeballin' them the entire time! The boys were soo excited to have Uncle Billy, Becca, Britnee, Richy (mom's boyfriend) and daddy all out there helping them! We did the whole breakfast with the entire family deal. This year we went simple - bagels, and breakfast cakes. It was just too much of a project last year with all the cooking. This years Easter was easy.. and good! =] Then the bad news arrived... 1/2 of the prom spent the entire night throwing up. And no.. they weren't drunk. Apparently 1/2 the prom went to Yomato's for dinner, and had a bad order of shrimp. That part of the group spent the entire night throwing up. Luckily Caitlin and Jaymi weren't in that group. Sadly... someone threw up on Jaymi's dress. =[ But they both survived, and were walking zombies on Easter! HaHa!
So I weighed myself the other night, for the first time since I started this blog. I have been watching what I am eating, but I haven't been working out or anything yet. And yes, I know I need to. It's just a matter of getting the umph to get off my ass and do it. And that.. well I don't have that. Haha. Anyhow, I lost 5lbs! I didn't take my measurements yet.. cuz I'm only doing that once a month. But I'm anxious to see how much I can lose by the end of April. Monday I will start my exercising at least 3 times a day. I am determined to get this weight off my body. My entire mind, body and soul is devoted to this!
