Easter Accuracy - a big egg


Your willingness to compromise will restore harmony, and you'll learn something important about yourself in this process.

I guess I did compromise today when I let Husband out of his Committment to attend Easter dinner at my parent's house. When I informed him of the Easter Dinner Plan on March 1, he was told he wasn't required to attend. Then on March 14 he brought up the Easter Dinner Plan and insisted on accompanying us. I told him no - not necessary - but he was insistent.

Fast forward to yesterday afternoon when he started hemming and hawing (a technical term meaning pussyfooting) about joining us. This morning I asked him for his Easter Dinner Status -- Undetermined.

So I compromised and let him fill up my car with gas and clean the house while I was gone. Did I learn something about myself? Definitely. I don't really need a cleaning service after all.

Accuracy - too exhausted to tell

You'll find yourself rearranging everything from the furniture to long-term commitments as the Sun leaves your sign behind and enters Aries.

I had no energy to rearrange anything today. I had the freakiest dream last night - it was horrible. Have you ever woken up from a bad dream and then have it continue when you finally fall back asleep? That kept happening last night.

I woke up at 12:30 am from a horrible dream where Husband was leaving me and the kids to go live with his girlfriend in California. (Note: Husband does not really have a girlfriend). I couldn't talk him out of it and was yelling at him and woke up freaked out and scared and angry. Told myself it was just a dream, eventually got back to sleep, and the stupid dream continued! I was out of control. I was hitting him, and threatening that he would never see the kids again...and the whole time my dream Me was doing this the other parts of my brain were also saying things - like "This is exactly the opposite of how I wanted to handle this." and "I shouldn't let him know how much this really bothers me." and "This is just a dream, why are you so upset?" But I couldn't escape the dream, and I couldn't stop hitting him out of frustration! And he wasn't listening! He was very confident and happy with his decision to move away with his girlfriend.

I kept waking up then falling back into the dream - yelling and hitting and arguing.

Woke up exhausted.

Haven't recovered.

Watched Husband suspiciously over dinner.

If today is your birthday....

Why, it is!

Little can discourage you and nothing can defeat you this year. The next six weeks bring new freedom -- not because you can suddenly do anything you want, but because you embrace your current state and take charge. A financial surge in April helps your plan. You share a creative spark with loving Leo and Scorpio.

That positive little missive, telling me what I have to look forward to until March 18, 2009, is from the Detroit Free Press. For nearly twenty years I've been saving the If Today Is Your Birthday paragraphs from both of the local papers. Here's the Detroit News prognosis:

Prepare for a few weeks of mystifying celestial weather through July. You may be working extra hours or following a path that leads to a dead end. Get all your loose ends sewn up so that when opportunity knocks in October and November, you will be ready to rock 'n' roll. Problems that develop in the spring should evaporate under a steady dose of good luck in the late fall. You will be wiser than usual in the autumn and can safely make life-altering decisions or meet a significant someone who has your best interests at heart.

What the?????

I've gone from freedom to mystifying celestial weather...and instead of taking charge I'll be experiencing problems in the spring. Now, I have no problem choosing which I'd like to believe, but what if the Freep is wrong and my take charge state leads me to a dead end? I don't want to wait until autumn to be wise and have a steady dose of good luck. I want it now! My year was looking a LOT rosier before I picked up the News. Which is why we only subscribe to the Freep.

Accuracy - A good strong social 8

Spend time with loved ones, restoring your relationships via fun, relaxing activities.



That is exactly what I did today. We took the kids to the Pistons game and sat in the VERY back row. I liked it, though, as I get claustrophobic in crowds. I'm assuming they won; we left in the 4Th quarter and they were ahead by 10. Then we came home and Husband and I figured out how to hook up our PS3 to our wireless connection(hooray!) and got online and ordered more songs for Rock Band. We are ridiculously addicted. Invited some friends over last night and played until after 10 pm - 4 adults singing, playing fake drums and guitar. It's GREAT! Son has gotten really good on "guitar" and comes home from school and does "solo tours." He tries all the songs on Expert and succeeds at none of them, but doesn't care. If only he would show this much interest in a sport. Daughter has turned into quite the drummer. I keep encouraging her to play the real drum set and eventually form some all-girl band. I don't know if my singing has improved at all, but I know I'm singing much more confidently - even the wrong notes.
