Easter Egg Update!
Mommas,
Help! The time for the Easter eggs is fast approaching and here's what we still need....praying hands, angels, thorns, hearts. I believe Susan is gathering pennies and Charity is collecting nails. I have a bunch of nicely polished rocks we can use.
Anybody have any ideas? I did check at Gift and Bible and they do not have praying hands of any sort. Does anyone have a stamp or clipart that would work?
Post your ideas or bring them to the next Mother's Morning!

Eggstounding News! Egg cartons
Mommas,
As we discussed in our meeting last week we are starting to collect stuff to put together a "resurrection egg" type project for each of us to take home this Easter. I don't have the list on hand right now, but I do know that Miss Susie and her amazing shopping skills have already yielded 80 tiny doves (minus the 1 that Miss Jolie kept to play with) at an amazing cost of 80 cents! (Go Susie!)I should have enough egg cartons but if you think of it set a few aside just in case!I'll post a list of what we will need as soon as I get around to it!

Mean Moms
Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me:
I loved you enough to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep.
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, and tears in my eyes.
Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your actions even when the penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.
But most of all, I loved you enough . . . to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it.
Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too. And someday when your children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.
Was your Mom mean?
I know mine was. We had the meanest mother in the whole world! While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast. When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches. And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was different from what other kids had, too.
Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She had to know who our friends were, and what we were doing with them. She insisted that if we said we would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve to break the Child Labor Laws by making us work. We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.
She always insisted on us telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had eyes in the back of her head. Then, life was really tough! Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn when they drove up. They had to come up to the door so she could meet them. While everyone else could date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16.
Because of our mother, we missed out on lots of things other kids experienced. None of us have ever been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's property or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault. Now that we have left home, we are all educated, honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean parents just like Mom was.

I think that is what's wrong with the world today.
It just doesn't have enough mean moms!

Ladies, Let's get ready for Easter!
Next Tuesday morning we will look at a ways we can prepare ourselves for the Easter season.
Before we get our home ready for the Easter Bunny we need to get our hearts ready for the Risen Lord.... Also, it will be Fat Tuesday so I'll be making beignets (French donuts) so if for no other reason come for some yummy deep fried food!
