Imagine you find yourself with the great responsibility of designing the school calendar for the year.  It is your responsibility to factor in half days, off days, winter and spring break, end of year activities, prom, and graduation.  Somewhere in all of your “grand” planning you think to yourself “this year spring break will be the week before the week before Easter and Prom should be on the eve of.” Totally makes sense right? Yeah not for this family or probably any family that celebrates Easter.  In the chaos of prom planning (and I have a son) I forgot about Easter (truth), this means no Easter dinner, special outings, etc.  The sad part is I only “kind of” feel bad about this.  There is so much preparation involved in creating the “perfect” holiday experience.  Instead, here I sit sharing , while Prom boy takes a nap, the kids squabble whilst re-heating leftovers for lunch, and the man watches another cheesy 90’s movie.  I dream of being that “awesome” family that does “awesome” things but today we just “don’t quite make the cut”.  And so,  I dedicate this not so awesome Easter holiday to the person whom had the job of creating this years school calendar: Thank you for your disregard when you chose to schedule Prom the night before Easter!
