One more week till Easter - well, more like a week and a half. This is not only the CRAZIEST time of year for me... it's my favorite!
I have to admit that since having my son almost two years ago, Easter has gotten a little nuttier for me. All these amazing memories of my childhood and what Easter brought. Awh, all those memories, expectations and hopes. However, there is my ministry - which means that I am at work/church a lot. It's the two loves of my life - colliding... the love of the church/liturgy and then the love of my family/being a mother.
So, I find myself doing what many other working mothers strive to do - walk the crazy thin line of work and family life.
My life next week will consist of running home between meetings and liturgies (I'm so happy I live only blocks away from my workplace). And then during my son's naps, running to work - so as I don't miss too much of playtime with Jonah. I'm so happy that I have a flexible job and that I have an amazing husband who supports me and our parish.
In between meetings, liturgies, making meals, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, altar server practises and playtime with Jonah I will run around town making sure the Easter Bunny has all he needs for his wonderful visit on Easter Sunday.
The thought of next week makes me tired- but at the same time I am so excited!!!! Bring on the liturgies, the practices, and the Easter candy!!!!
