Happy Easter

So after today's homily at church, I looked down to my nephew and said, "OK, I got the message, loud and clear!" I mean...geez!  I understand the Easter season spends a lot of time talking about death and resurrection, but... this year...it all seems to be directed straight at me!  I GET THE MESSAGE...can we talk about something else now?

"Sometimes the thing which seems like it will destroy you, saves you."  Yup, that was the message at church.  That sometimes we have dark times, hard times, times that make us question the Lord, get mad at him, but imagine.  Imagine what we can take away from those moments.  Who we can become from those moments.  The celebration we can have when we make it through those moments. 

Does anyone else see why I feel like the homilies of Fr. Dan are directed straight at me these days?! 

So while that part of my Easter Sunday was incredibly spiritual and moving....the rest made my belly ache in an entirely different way....

Eleanor going right for the candy at 6:30 AM

Another basket, more candy...11:00 AM

Is it just me...or is the candy getting bigger as the day goes on?  5:00 PM

An unfortunately...every time she was eating crap...I was eating crap!  This holiday is worse than Halloween on steroids.  I might give up candy for the 40 days AFTER Easter. 

I'm off to brush my teeth (for like the 100th time today!) and drink some more water...maybe fold some more clothes and prepare for the whirlwind that is my next two weeks.

Easter Blessings to you and your family (And minimal dental bills after the binge!)
