You wouldn't have known if you came to my house. I had all the best intentions.

But this last year with Yessenia has really been so different. Jeff and I

showered and got back into PJs in the morning. No nice easter clothes for us I

guess. I got the kids dressed in their clothes. The boys in slacks and button

down shirts with vests. Yessenia is a new pink dress with her typical bow to

match. She proceeded to vomit on it after about 30 mins. Alec troe off his

clothes and Greggory whined that he wanted to wear Alec's clothes. ~sigh~ We

didnt color any eggs so no egg hunt. They did get easter baskets from my

parents. They were all covered in chocolate. We didnt go to church as the

kids were not nearly in a good mood. At one point I was yelling at the damn

dogs! They got into the trash and one dog was on the kitchen table! We did

manage to have turkey for dinner. Of course just Jeff and I ate it. The boys had

pizza. Jeff's grandfather passed away that weekend. He had to get ready to leave

Easter evening for a 4 hour trip down south. There was no way I was going to

take all the kids to the funeral and I didnt feel like sitting around with them.

So we spent the evening looking to see if Jeff had any clothes to wear. He

didn't. ~sigh~ That was easter at my house.

Jacquie,

My condolences on the loss of Jeff's grandfather. We didn't even make an

attempt at Easter. {{{Jacquie}}} Hope next Easter is better for you.

I will. Jeff wasn't close to his grandfather and they told us he only had 6

months to live(cancer) about 2 years ago. He lived a good life. But Jeff has to

help his mother. She of course is deeply upset.

Thanks. I hope the next Easter is better too. I would hope it couldn't be worse

but we all know what life with autism is like.
