Easter Bunny Interview

The night the Easter Bunny was to visit our house, Zachary asked me: “Don’t you think the Easter Bunny is with Santa Clause and has Santa give him a ride on Easter?”

Well you know, I don’t know. I remember asking Santa how he made it to all those houses in one night. I don’t think I’ve ever asked the Easter Bunny….anything!

Now that Easter has come and gone, the Easter Bunny agreed to answer some essential questions.

Me: “Do you live at the North Pole with Santa?

EB: “No No, it is much too cold there for a bunny. I live in a hole in the ground.”

Me: “Is this hole in the ground on Easter Island?”

EB: “The location of my home is classified. Santa can give out his location since it is hard to travel to the North Pole, and the weather is frightful. My home is actually much more accessible and the weather is pretty nice.”

Me: “Are you and Santa friends?”

EB: “Oh yes! I am friends with the Tooth Fairy too!”

Me: “How do you get all the candy for Easter?”

EB: “Well, I started out making all the candy for Easter, but now there are so many good candy companies out there like Hershey’s, Nestle and Mars, that we’ve worked out a business deal. They get to use my likeness and I get free candy. It frees my year up a lot.”

Me: “How is using your likeness beneficial to them?”

EB: “My likeness helps them sale candy to humans. While I bring the Easter baskets and bunches of candy, Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Teachers and so on buy candy at Easter to give to kids or put in eggs for their own Easter egg hunts.”

Me: “Any idea why Easter egg hunts have become so popular?”

EB: “Apparently adults like to hide candy from kids. Who knew?”

Me: “Why don’t you bring more toys like Santa?”

EB: “Because I don’t have a workshop full of elves.”

Me: “How do you get the toys you do bring?”

EB: “Santa taught me to make some toys and he also lets me use his elves for a few non complicated toys. It can’t be anything too complicated as they are very busy making toys for Christmas and cannot get behind. In exchange, I’ve taught his elves to make candy and I even make some of his Christmas candy myself.”

Me: “How do you make it to so many houses in one night?”

EB: “Well luckily I just have to make it to every house at night, not at a certain time. I eat lots of good food and work out so that I can hop almost faster than light.”

Me: “So you don’t hop a ride on Santa’s sleigh?”

EB: “Only if there is a blizzard, or I’ve hurt myself.”

Me: “Well thank you so much for your time. Would you mind doing a follow up interview later? I am sure my kids and their friends will have some more questions they want answered.”

EB: “Anytime between now and Christmas. I am very busy between Christmas and Easter.”

Me: “Ofcourse.”

If I ignore it....

....will it go away? Today is just one of those days when everything hits me all at once: The stress of our situation and uncertainty of what is to come, the worries of money and how we will survive, and the feeling disconnected from the world. Day in and day out, I try to look at the bright side and hope and pray for the best. I do research to affirm where we stand and the likliness of a good outcome. I have thrown everything I have into finding ways to make and save money, telling myself it will make a difference. I never stop racking my brain. However, I never seem to shake the feeling of being disconnected from the world. My only social outlet is work, and being that, is limited. I seem to have very little in common with the people who are easily accessible to me outside of my family, and very little time for those with which I can relate. I crave something creative...to paint, photograph, write, but by the end of the night, when I alot my self some time, I am too mentally tired...

I'm a WOH! Mom

I am a WOH! (Work Outside the Home) Mom. I don’t have a choice. My Husband and I both have to work to afford a 1200 sq. ft. house in a small town 45 minutes out of Nashville. We both have to work to afford two older vehicles (2002 and 2003). We both have to work to pay the electric bill, water bill and car insurance. We don’t have cable or satellite, we don’t have internet and we don’t spend money eating out. Most months we barely get by. If one of us decided to stay home and we got rid of one vehicle, we could only afford to pay $200.00 in rent. We would still make too much to qualify for any kind of state or federal assistance. So we both work. But, if I had the choice, I would still be a WOH! Mom. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to not HAVE to work, but I would still work. I would still send my daughter to preschool five days a week. For me, Preschool is a God-send. The group of teachers at her preschool are brave. They let the one year olds finger paint!!
