Bad mom
That's what I feel like today. I am feeling guilty because today is Easter and I didn't have it in me to make today special for the kids. We didn't dye eggs this year, I didn't take any pictures, and I definitely didn't get the kids anything special to wear for Easter Sunday. The few things we bought as gifts from the Easter bunny I never bothered to hide, just left them on the floor of my room in plastic bags. Of course the kids found them along with the candy well before Easter. We attempted to go to the city Easter Egg hunt yesterday morning. We were about 50 yards away when they yelled "Go." I managed to get Tate to the baby area where he found 5 eggs, but the other 3 kids got nothing. Their areas were completely cleaned out by them time they got there. One sweet boy saw Avery's basket was empty and gave her 3 eggs, then she turned and gave 1 to Cole and 1 to Zane. We did do an egg hunt with the kids today. With the exception of going to church I pretty much spent all day in bed because I am in a serious funk. A little old lady came up to me at church and asked if I had everything ready for dinner tonight. I told her no, the ham never made it out of the freezer to defrost so we weren't going to have a fancy Easter dinner. We ended up eating frozen pizza for dinner.

OH ALY!!! I did the same thing this year. We didn't dye easter eggs either, and we had chile' Verde burritos for dinner.
You are not alone! I feel I am horrible at the holidays...making them special.
It's totally normal and OK for moms to be in a funk. That just means you are human. You are a wonderful and amazing mom! :)
Oh I am sooooo sorry! Just to make you feel a little better here is a brief synopsis of our easter....I killed myself shopping for swimming stuff, new pjs, candy, etc. for their baskets...Made a great breakfast...and got the yummy chicken and funeral potatos made and ready to put in the oven before we left for church. I got them darling dresses that took me forever to find and fought with them to get dressed and hair done for pictures. Pretty awesome mom me then asked for one simple thing...lets go outisde so I can take pictures. Bryan was at a meeting and I had my new cute outfit on too. It was 20 min. before church so I was even awesome early!! After having to yell at them to put the electronic gadgets away and come outside we took a couple photos until Carter and Paige decided they would rather jump on tramp and not listen to me. Sarah snuch out a cookie to eat while I tried to take her photo, and Hailey said the sun was in her eyes so wouldn't look at the camera! As I am yelling at them I trip in the grass, twist my ankle, and fall down!! YEP! I then scream that they are selfish and go to my room crying. Took off my church clothes and went to bed!! Bryan came home from his meeting and was told to take the little crappers to church! After three hours in bed I decided to throw dinner in the oven and we all had a little talk when they got home! So needless to say the baskets, dresses, meal, etc. will not be remembered!!! This will be known as the Easter mom Fell Down and lost it! So you my sweet friend are SMARTER than me!! Good for you!! Some Holidays need to be skipped! I am thinking maybe we will skip Christmas!! Hope you are getting a good little laugh from this and out of your funk!
I feel your pain sister!!! Aaron took matters into his own hands this year. As he put it, "We don't do the same holiday stuff for our younger kids that we did for the older ones....I am afraid Blake's going to miss out on his childhood memories." I told Aaron if he wanted Blake to have a happy childhood I would need some help with holidays this time around. So Daddy did the Easter egg mess(I mean fun) this year. :)
