Easter 2007

This is the first Easter in 30+ years that I haven't decorated and hidden eggs and/or cooked a ham. The kids are grown and not married. We don't have any grandchildren yet (thank goodness, since the kids are not married yet). We've been working all kinds of crazy hours and I just wasn't up to cooking a family dinner for Sunday.

Now, I regret it. If we're not careful the kids are going to drift away. They're working and meeting with their friends. I feel like it is up to me to keep the family thing going on.

Today was cold and windy. We set record lows and we had snow flurries Friday night. All the azaleas will be brown and crispy by tomorrow – they starting wilting today. I just don't feel like doing anything. Sadie and I walked two miles, but the wind was strong and cold and neither of us felt like doing it.

I finished my son's taxes and e-filed them. That only leaves ours to file. I should be able to get the last of the info I need tomorrow – just missing one 1099, then I'll get them filed. We squeaked by this year – or I calculated very well. We have a $243 refund that I'll apply to next year and file our estimated taxes on 4/17/-07. I'm going to give it one more look-see this week to make sure I haven't missed anything and get it sent off.

Just a blah day. At least I had a three-day weekend.
