I have a fairly full house now and have decided life happens. I had all these great plans for posting about events all week that surround Easter. What have I done? One post and lots of work. No need for a digital diet like Kristen at Motherese talked about. I just let life happen.
Looking at the calendar, I truly think the only really busy day was Wednesday but for some reason, I have been unable to get here. I have all these great posts floating in my brain, outlines or notes jotted on pieces of everything that I can find when the idea pops up, and no time to type. I tried, last night, to open the laptop as I watched some mindless television but I didn’t get back into the house until 9 pm – my normal “let’s go to bed” time – so I was a bit tired. I finally, after a few emails exchanged with a friend, closed the laptop – letting it install its first Windows updates – and went to sleep. I do not even recall if I watched the entire show.
On top of everything that is going on, I have an extra body in the house for the upcoming week. Good thing it is going to be nice out for a while so I can escape. #5 is home on another week long break. Truthfully, he has Friday classes but one was canceled, another the professor didn’t care about absences and a third he already made arrangements for notes. I have put him off since his break in February about coming home again. With his sport over, he has a bit of time on his hands and I think he should spend it at college. After all, finals are over May 19 and then he is home for the summer.
Anyway, as soon as I find some time, I have a post about being a taxi driver for #6 on Wednesday. You will not believe how many miles I put on the car getting everything that one 15 year old had to do done. I have a post about Tuesday night’s concert by the Basically Bach Ensemble – photos with this one. I have some beautiful photos of the sunset on Wednesday night on one of my many trips over the hill with #6. Boy was he pissed when I pulled off the side of the road to take photos! I also have a post on Holy Thursday and, am sure, one on Good Friday. I have one I would like to do if I can manage to get what I want as far as images on the hills I run around my house.
That all said, have a great weekend if I don’t get back to the computer. I have a huge dinner to prepare on Sunday. These posts will happen. I am just not sure when. I miss you all but … life happens.

I’ve missed you this week, but gathered from your tweets that you’ve been running around with work, family, and getting ready for Easter.
I hope you enjoy your full house!
Thanks, Kristen! Between the holiday and family, and yes work too, I have been so busy this week. Throw in the fact that it is not quite 2 pm and it is 77F and I am smiling and going to test the lap top outside.
Oh yes, life happens. It’s unpredictable and uncontrollable. We cannot rush it or slow it down. Just hope you’re having a good week, Nicki – and look forward to reading your posts whenever you get to them. Keep jotting down ideas and taking photos!
Eva – tired but having a great week! Hope you are also. I am going to have to take a whole day off work to catch up on my blog reading and writing.
It’s amazing how life can go so quickly, and the next thing you know it’s a holiday and then it’s over and then another week is in progress 🙂
You know it, Corinne. I am beginning to think the reason I like winter is because I am housebound mostly. I do go out and run but the weather seldom calls me to come out like this warm spell is doing.
There you are! Sounds like you have lots of material for the coming week’s posts.
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you and your family, also, Belinda!
“I just let life happen.”
Thanks for this, Nicki. I’ve been needing for someone to articulate that for me.
If we fight it, Jen, we end up a mess. Trust me, I have tried!
