Leimamo’s Life

First and foremost, Happy Easter everyone!

Easter this year was disappointing. For starters, Kamalani’s mother promised to drive a friend 3 hours out to the airport, then 3 hours back home. So she brought Kamalani here lastnight around midnight. I didn’t get to see them yesterday because my (surprise) visiting Aunty wanted to meet them at the tulip field before taking them to the mall for a little bit of shopping. Anyway, they returned from the outting around 4:00 p.m. with plenty of time to boil eggs and decorate them. Did my daughter think of that? Nope.

I didn’t know that she didn’t decorate eggs with Kamalani until late at night, when she told me she was bringing Kamalani over. Kamalani was already asleep by this time. I was fuming. How could her mother not take a few minutes away from the friggen cell phone so she could do something memorable with Kamalani? Well, she told me they’d do it when she got back from the airport which should’ve been around 9 or 10 A.M. Did that happen? If you guessed, “NO” you’re absolutely correct. Instead of rushing into the house and starting a pot of boiling water, she was glued to the phone. First her cell phone, then the house phone. It was sickening to watch.

I had originally planned for us to have a barbecue but seeing as how my daughter was pre-occupied with her friend on the phone, I decided she could spend Easter at her own house so I cancelled the barbecue. I told hubby I’ll be picking Kamalani up later to take her out for Easter dinner. He thinks that would be a great idea.
There is an upside if you can believe it. I bought Kamalani a Disney Princess Easter basket and she also received a basket from our friend (Nana Bernie). Hubby found 4 plastic eggs and did a mini, indoor egg hunt with her. She was satisfied with that.
