this morning, I'm the rabbit

Like this poor bunny, the basket has taken a bite out of me. The Easter family celebration is done, and this old Auntie is on her last leg ... or least it feels like it! The garage sale did not take place this past weekend as I had thought it was going to. I still cooked the chicken and rice on Saturday thinking that they would all be here for the sale. Then yesterday the gang all landed at Auntie Lyn's because "it's so much fun here", and "the kids have all kinds of room to play". We were missing one family group, my nephew and his wife and 2 daughters. They have all been bit by some sort of stomach bug, and have been sick on and off since last Wed. It started with the baby and has moved up the ranks. My other nephew, his wife and 4 year old son was here, and my niece, her husband and her 4 year old son, and 2 year old daughter were here. Along with that was my sister and brother in law and my mom and dad.

I had my nephew and brother in law go out and pick up a 13 foot trampoline for me. They got it together in the afternoon, and the kids loved it. After everyone left I got on it, and tried to jump, could barely get my feet to leave the canvas. Not an easy thing to do with this 53 yo, way too overweight body, which hurts when it doesn't get enough rest, and hurts when it gets too much rest. How did I get to feeling this old and decrepit?? Hopefully with daily practice, I will loose some of this weight, and get back to being in better shape. Although today is not going to be one of those days. Went to sleep and awoke to rain and thundershowers this morning. Not sure if it is supposed to rain all day or not. As long as it's just rain, we need it, but I don't want the thunder and lightning.

Well, hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go.............
