Both ways CAN'T be YOUR way!

I love getting together with family for the holidays.

When you get married though, getting together for holidays brings on a whole new meaning. You have to play the 'ol Swith-A-Rue.

My wife and I switch Thanksgiving locations every year. One year with my family and the next with hers. If our families lived in the same direction we could probably see both but it is literally the opposite direction. (one east and the other west). On Christmas we see both sides because we are only going to my inlaws house about 10minutes away and then heading to my parents and then we get back to our house around 9 or 10pm that night.

Well here it is Easter! My Mother ALWAYS sacrafices and works around other peoples schedules but she wants to have Easter at her house on the actual day but once again it seems that it is going to have to happen on the Saturday before.

The schedule is worked out for Saturday because certain family members have to have it their way and CANNOT make it if it stays on Sunday.(as if you not being there should stop us from getting together at all).

So the schedule is reworked so they can come, which is okay but...the other family members also have plans on Saturday and wants to make it later than the 1:00pm that we have it scheduled for. WHAT! NO! The time is staying 1:00pm. We also have plans on Saturday and we are cutting them short so we can get travel the 1 1/2 hrs. to my parents, hide the eggs, eat, let the kids hunt the eggs, spend a little more time with the family, and then head back to our house.

Look, the schedule was already changed for you. You CAN'T have both ways YOUR way! Cut your plans short. Sacrafice something! Heck, we are celebrating Easter here. You know, where Jesus sacraficed His life for you.
