Spring Break and Las Tres Hermanas
Ah, Spring Break! It continues. Endlessly.
I have had children at home with me since the first of March, either because of illness or vacation, or Easter, or spring break, it doesn't matter. What matters is this: I'm getting seriously behind on my ME-TIME! I haven't shopped a single spring sale. I have done virtually nothing in the garden. I haven't finished a book in ages. Lunch with friends? Forget it!
Seriously though. We saw "Horton Hears a Who" today. I fully expected it to be a rotten movie. It features one of my least favorite actors, Jim Carrey. Fortunately, he was balanced by one of my very favorite actors, Steve Carell. Steve was funny enough to make up for Jim's stupid over-acting which he managed to do, even though it was an animated film and all I had to endure was his voice.
We had a great Easter last weekend. Truly wonderful. And now there's at least 25 pounds of candy sitting around the house. The only thing that's saving me from diving in is that peculiar odor which comes from mixing chocolate with jelly beans and Mike & Ikes and Peeps. It's instantly recognizable and very unappetizing. Of course, I still manage to paw through the candy bags once in a while. But eventually the funky odor permeates the candy wrappers and the candy no longer tastes good. Even the kids lose interest. It's a strange phenomenon.
Let's see if I can post a picture from our Easter festivities:
I did it, I did it!! This photo is Las Tres Hermanas, on the left is Susita, that's me in the middle, and the Lovely Laurita is on the right. It was taken at the home of my brother and sister-in-law where we all gathered for Easter this year. It was a fantastic time.

Damn! We look GOOD!
I hear you about the lack of me-time! It is a painful existence. I'm averaging one book per year myself.
Y'all are gorgeous. It makes me envious. Being an only child and then raised with two male cousins, I always wanted sisters.
Nice photo. Laurita, any chance for me to get on the readership of your blog? I miss your public blog.
"Que Cute"!
