Easter sucks. Why? Because it's another holiday that's marketed towards kids. Did I ever tell you that we don't have any? Children I mean. I almost completely forgot, and then while I was hiding bottles of Chardonnay in my backyard I remembered that they should be colored eggs instead. Hard boiled eggs dipped in every pastel color that would match the variety of receiving blankets made for the babies that will grow up to hunt for them. Plastic eggs filled with chocolate and jellybeans, and coins that would surely generate a smile on the face every oshkoshbegoshed little body on earth.I'm fortunate in that I didn't have to spend my Easter with young children to remind me of what I'm missing out on. Truthfully I drank Mimosa's on my Sister-In-Laws patio. It was lovely. But that doesn't mean I didn't think about it.
Seeing pregnant women used to crush me, but now it's families. Walking through Safeway seeing a Mom tell her daughter she can't have the sugar booger cereal, or seeing a dad place pears in a produce bag, while contorting around a baby bjorn. It truly is torture on a whole new level.
I still stick with what I said in my last post though, I'm actually in pretty good place emotionally. But the holiday's still get to me. Even Easter.

with you. It was hard going to church and seeing all the kids dressed up in their Sunday best. I love your basket, that made me laugh, hope you enjoyed it. :-)
LOL- your title made me smile. I totally get what you're saying. Easter was not all that hard for me before, but this year maybe a little? Save up your energy for the next doosy of a holiday. As for me... I'm spending that weekend in May at a spa. Want to come with?
I hear ya...but yum to the mimosas and what an awesome easter basket you have there.
Hang in there.
I just happened to run across your blog, by linking over and over again, through other blogs. I haven't completely been where you are, only feeling a glimpse of your pain after TTC with our first son for 9 months. It was scary and painful to receive the BFN's...Again, only a very small glimpse. I prayed today that you would receive a sweet blessing of your own and that God would enable you to endure peacefully through this tremendously painful and exhausting time in your life...Thank you for sharing your story!! :)

LOVE the Easter Basket. I think it's the best I've seen. I can understand how you feel. Christmas time last year was really hard for me. I feel like I was in tears nearly everyday just thinking about how many families were celebrating together with their children and wondering why I couldn't be one of them. It sucks to have that reminder. And I agree, the Easter Bunny CAN SUCK IT! haha.
Love the Easter basket! And I must say I feel you on the whole it's hard to be around families. That crept in on me around the two year mark. Maybe it's because you start to get to a point where so much time has passed that you get to thinking if you had conceived that first try, you would already have had a one or two year old and be that adorable, new little family. (But, that hasn't been in my mind as much, given my current situation.) Hope you enjoyed your Easter basket and had to laugh at the image of hunting for wine bottles in the yard!
Love the "adult" Easter basket -- my husband got a similar one this year, although with bigger bottles. ;)
Couldn't agree more about Easter -- it's a holiday that stings.
