Thanks. I think all I needed was a little wallow and talking it out to see I was making something out of nothing. I am just going to do it, like I do everything else. Tuesday and Wednesday I was in a funkier mood than usual. I reread my post and just need to use my tools & move my ass.RedBottoms wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 3:38 pmHugs sweetieBubbs wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 7:48 pmI work full time and go to college part time.

Do you work? Maybe stress is causing you to be so tired.
I wonder if my kids will be disappointed with no Easter baskets?

My kids are almost 13 and 9. They can’t wait until Easter morning. We just dyed eggs tonight, as they love doing it. They get GOOD baskets too. I loved Easter through my teen years. My parents never stopped giving baskets and making holidays awesome.RedBottoms wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 3:38 pmhow old are your kids? Its easy to say that when they are like 3 or 6. But as they get older they give way less shits. Trust me. My kids are almost 12 and they don't care about crap like that anymore.KaiandKadensMama wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 9:29 pm Candy isn’t even expensive at regular price. Lol Easter is once a year. My kids enjoy that basket that one day a year. When they are adults , and not living with me, I’ll miss preparing baskets for them. I only get so many years to do this.

Oh it was never that exciting here. Even when I’m feeling ok, I’ve never been that into holidays. The baskets are never that good.KaiandKadensMama wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 10:31 pmMy kids are almost 13 and 9. They can’t wait until Easter morning. We just dyed eggs tonight, as they love doing it.

I don't even know what we're doing for Easter.

Me too.Fullxbusymom wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 3:40 pmWe do gifts in our baskets plus new outfits, shoes (we dress up for Easter) and then a little candy and I wrap everything for Christmas. Holidays are just special to me and I do them big.

Mine are the same ages and I agree.Linda_Runs wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 8:16 amSame age as my two girls and I am doing them. It would depend on how they feel about it. But personally, with my two, I like to keep the tradition going. They will have Easter baskets until they are 18. Even this year we are still doing the Easter egg hunt. It is only this year for the first time that my 11 year old doesn't want to do egg art.
While they may not be disappointed, I think they would enjoy the idea still at those ages. Once a childhood tradition is gone, it is gone!

I’m going to do it for them. I’m feeling better than I was when I made this post originally.
I don’t get baskets but holidays aren’t my thing.
