Twas' the Night B4 Easter

Twas the night b4 Easter,
in the Dunbar house.
Too many creatures were stirring,
I hope to hell not a mouse!

The baskets were not even out where they should be,
the vacuum cleaner had puked all over the place,
the daddy was shovelling the snow, yes! SNOW!
and the mommy was blogging cuz the kids r still awake...

WHAT!!! U EXPECT RHYMING AT A TIME LIKE THIS!

the kids r indeed nestled... all snug in their beds...
visions of heelies and barbies, prancing in their heads

while I in my jammies, typing away,
dream of cadbury chocolate, drooling on the keyboard

the rhythmic noise of the shovel I hear,
as Daddy deals with the heaps of white stuff....
my head is falling over cuz I am fricking exhausted
bags of goodies await in the dining room

holy shit, not only do I have baskets to fill. ...
but eggs to hide tooo! go the heck to sleep you two!

I am drifting... I am facebooking... I am really wiped...
when did I sign up for this mythical holiday creature charade?
why do we decieve our kids this way?
just yesterday Dani said... "I know there is an Easter Bunny. Cuz u wouldn't do this to me"

guilt... shame... and the exhaustion too.....
where is the benefit in this?
oh man! go to sleep!
do u two not know all I have to do!!!!!

and then of course, the special thing
that makes this holiday mean something to me,
Easter Vigil... I did not make it there this year!!!
cuz the g/d snow got in my way!

Happy EAster to All and To all a Good night!
