An Easter Like None Other

This has been an interesting Easter so far.  Easter for me has traditionally been a holiday that I spend with my extended family, but this Easter my parents and aunts are in another state; my sister is holed up at home with a new baby; my brother is living in another state; my sister in-law and niece are doing nothing; and my nephew is in the military in Virginia.  For the first time that I can remember, my family is not getting together for Easter.

Oddly enough, David has not made any noise about spending Easter with his parents.  It figures that the first holiday that my family isn't doing Easter together that David isn't interested in doing Easter with his family.  I think that this is a sign of times to come because my parents were the ones that made sure that we all got together.  This year we're just scattered and busy and whatnot.  We're in a time of flux with parents moving out of state; my sister just having a daughter; and us getting settled into the new place.

I am hoping that the coming holiday will not be like this and if we're settled into the new house, I will make sure that isn't the case.  Today will be filled with Easter mass and Easter baskets, but other than that the day will be like any other Sunday.  Besides, I have another closet to organize. * sigh *

The same was true with my family. There comes a time when The Mother gives up planning and organising the big Filipino get together and leaves it up to the Daughters. However, what happens is this: the Daughter has invites the whole family to her new house and the Mother ends up planning and organising the whole event anyway....Happy Easter!!

Any chance you can post your entire post on the RSS feeds? I use Google Reader and I have to come to your site to finish reading and unfortunately I can't always make it.

Thanks!
