How to Celebrate Easter Eryn-Style

Step 1: Puke in the shower.

Step 2: Dress purdy and go to church. Try furtively to get some curl in the hair. Look like Medusa with bangs.

Step 3: Get squeezed into a pew with too many people because it's SRO today. At least I got to sit by Wesley.

Step 4: Get nauseated due to the heat and stuffiness and bail in the middle of the renewal of baptismal vows. Drag poor husband along.

Step 5: Almost puke on the church steps but make it to the ladies' room instead.

Step 5.5: Nap.

Step 6: Have Easter brunch with non-Christian (and lovely and wonderful) friends, Wesley and some new folks.

Step 7: Make two planters for the front stoop with Wesley. Enjoy playing in the dirt.
















Step 8: Lounge in the sun.

Step 9: Take a family trip to the dog park.

Step 10: Have a dog take me out by running full-force into my knee. Get carried back to car in excruciating pain.

Step 10: Call occupational therapist friend (Thanks Tabitha!) for advice and avoid ER like the plague.

Step 11: Attempt to eat Mexican food, which has become Wesley's Sunday night craving. Enjoy chips and salsa, get grossed out by everything else.

Step 12: Get knee immobilizer, tell work I can't bear weight.

Step 13: Write blog.

Step 14: See if I can sleep with knee brace on.

It was a roller coaster of a day but I have so many wonderful memories of it too. I loved spending so much time with Wesley. The weather was amazing. And Alleluia Christ is risen!!

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! ~Because I can.
