Ain't nobody does it like Mommy

And I'm not saying that just because I'm full of myself and feel like tooting my own horn. I'm saying it because its true, dammit.

Easter weekend is upon us, and its going to be a busy weekend - more on that later. But DH was home from work today and assured me that today would be "my day" to do all of my errands. Well, it didn't really work out that way. By the time DH got his shit together, rolled out of bed, had a nice breakfast, etc etc. I was feeding the girls lunch and putting them down for naps. That meant that he was able to take a nap as well. I didn't leave the house until nearly 3pm, which meant I had to run around like a wild woman to get everything done. I'm on the proverbial balls of my ass, and my weekend has just started.

...Oh, and did I mention that I was home in time to feed the girls dinner? So basically, all he had to do was sit his ass on the couch and make sure that no one killed themselves?? Let's give him a round of applause. Jeez.

As I said, its Easter weekend. I can honestly say that I hate all holidays nowadays because I never get to relax. Its all about sitting in traffic, running around, dealing with my cranky kids. On Saturday, my BIL is coming over to help us with some miscellaneous home repairs. In exchange, I'll need to tolerate the drunken man bonding that will happen sometime before the evening ends. My BIL and his friend F. will be sleeping over and DH is going to be firing up the BBQ. This of course means that DH will be hung over for...EASTER SUNDAY! A day that will be spent shuttling my daughters to both grandmothers (heaven forbid that someone get left out)...my MIL in the early afternoon, and my mom at the end of the day. I don't want to disappoint the folks who are clammoring to see my kids, but I'd REALLY like to spend one holiday relaxing with a glass of wine. And that just AIN'T gonna happen anytime in the near future.

Mother's Day is coming, and my MIL has already said that she wants to spend dinner with us on that day, she's pissed that my mom is "getting" us for dinner on Easter. What everyone seems to be forgetting is that I'm a MOM too, when do I get my relaxing Mother's Day? I wonder if anyone would be offended if I ran away to the spa on Mother's Day and left DH to transport the girls to the grandmothers?? hmmm....
