Easter

Today was a quiet one, and a cold one.  There is no sign of spring here.  I did a bit of shopping or at least tried... My black dress pants need to be replaced.  My old ones fit in the waist but they are "flare" bottoms and dont look remotely in style. They are too flappy.  I've had my flappy black ones for 7 years so I have got a lot of wear out of them.  In the store today where I was looking was a woman with 3 kids running wild and shrieking, whining and fighting.  Then I watched as the oldest little darling (who would be about 6) slugged a salesperson!!!!  "Oh, be careful of your hands" says mommy.  Then returns obliviously to looking at clothes.  The poor young salesman was so startled!
When she and the 3 darlings followed me into the change rooms, I handed my pants back to the unfortunate sales girl and said I would be back someday when there wasn't so much screaming in the store.  There were 3 salespeople that had wide open mouths and wide eyes as they watched the circus.  My favourite line I heard "mommy is going to take away your guns". I chuckled out loud as I left.

My personal spending for 2018 remains haircut and colour and hair product.  No pants 😕
So I bought groceries.  Having a small fancy Easter Dinner on Sunday.  The turkey is defrosting, I will make pie and tarts, and have all the usual potatoes and stuffing and salad... will finalize the menu tomorrow.

All of the financial crap that I did... Nothing has gone through yet when I checked again today. Zero. So now I wait until Tuesday, as I think the bank takes the Monday as a stat too, to see exactly why it takes 2 weeks when it was promised to be 2 business days!?

I had my older 2 kids over for dinner.  The dh took #3 to his parents overnight.  I don't sleep on the floor, and I don't share a bathroom with more than 10 people.  (Unless I was evacuated because of a disaster.). So I stay at home. It's not a joyous loving time for me when I go.  I'm treated like I'm in the way and as I learned last summer - they wished that dh would have married another woman.

  I love my bed to myself, I love the company of my kids and my dog.  I'm good.  😊

The good things:
A full night's sleep
