Welcome to The Mordant Matriarch mini-podcast.

I’m your host, Kim, the matriarch extraordinaire.

I guess this is episode 2.5.

I just wanted to drop by today and say Happy Easter. Whether you are spending it with family, extended family, alone, with friends, with or without your kids, I want you to remember something.

Easter has become something much larger than its origins. I don’t even understand how that’s possible because if you’re familiar with it, then you know it’s to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Now, I am NOT religious by any stretch of the imagination and I do understand that because of people like me, there are more secular reasons for these holidays, such as a magical rabbit that brings candy and hides eggs. (I’ll research this later, but rabbits don’t even lay eggs so..uh…whatever).

It’s gotten out of hand. We have become so ridiculously proud of the stuff we can give, in some cases, it’s become a 2nd Christmas. While I don’t begrudge those who can do this, I might be a little jealous but that’s neither here nor there, do not feel bad, or less, or horrible if you don’t. We all have choices to make. I’m noticing the theme of my podcasts currently seem to be about how every mom and ever child are different. Holidays carry the same way.

Everyone celebrates differently.

So, in this short podcast, I want to take a moment and remind you that no matter what your holiday situation, remember your blessings. Remember those little jerks who make us laugh and cry in the same 30 seconds. If you’re a shared parent, I can’t imagine how hard it is to split holidays, but they’ll be with you soon and they don’t give a rat’s ass if they celebrate with you the day before, the day after, or a week from now. They just care that you do celebrate with them.

For those of you dealing with in-laws today, which luckily I’m not, may the booze and chocolate be plentiful and may your in-laws remember that you are raising their greatest treasures and cut you some slack today.

Happy Easter!
