The non-Easter Easter

At about this point in the lad’s vacation, thoughts turn to returning him to school. This was definitely NOT an Easter break because his classes begin bright and early on Monday morning. Which means...he has to return to school this weekend sometime.

From my point of view, the question is which would be easier driving...Saturday or Sunday? It’s a 12 hour round trip, either way. So much for Easter in either case. I tend to think that roads might be less congested on Saturday than the return trip on Sunday evening. And since I am skirting New York City, I think that could make quite a difference.

As far as the lad is concerned, returning Saturday is fine. His roommate won’t return until Sunday afternoon, nor will most of his friends, but he does enjoy having his room to himself and spending Easter alone doesn’t seem to phase him in the least. Spending it in the car is just about as exciting. In either case, it’s kind of a non-holiday event.

I dunno. We haven’t decided yet. I am annoyed that schools didn’t take Easter into account, but the spring break isn’t designed to be an Easter break. So, whatever, I guess.

I would say that this holiday is only going to last a couple more years in this house. With GC1 on her own, GC2 getting up there and not caring about coloring eggs this year at all.  She lost interest in hunting for eggs a couple of years ago lol. Of course seeing how I have to make a basket up for the BC they wouldn’t mind having one...... But boys seem to loose interest in these things a little younger than the girls. Sigh, I give it a couple more years of filling the baskets before he tells me to just buy him a chocolate bunny and leave it at that LOL. The sign this year was that he had no interest in baking cookies or a easter cake. And he loveeeeeeeeeeeees to bake stuff and decorate them. 
I will be cooking a ham and all the extras of course. I don’t think that part of it will go away until they have all grown and gone and have there own stuff to do. GC1 is working that day but worked her schedule around dinner time. Sigh.

Well, looks as if we’re going to have an Easter Road Trip after all.

We haven’t had an Easter basket or an Easter dinner around here in years and years. In fact, he hasn’t been here for Easter in years and years. Usually goes off to Alabama or something. I was thinking of making up a little basket for him to take tomorrow. Just for nostalgia’s sake. He seems to be in that frame of mind this week. I could get into munching on chocolate during a road trip. smile
