Slaves For A Day: My Best Mother's Day


Would love to post today but I'm too busy:
  • Laying in bed despite the 11:00 hour
  • Eating breakfast in bed and reading the NYT
  • Looking at my new iPad trying to decide whether to keep it or not
  • Calling downstairs for someone to clear my plate
  • Listening to my husband wash the dishes
  • Thinking about all the things I DON'T have to do today
 And smiling...

Happy Mother's Day to all.  Hope yours is as good as mine.

My Husband Not An Ass: Mother's Day Redux


Yes, ladies, the hubby pulled through. Mother's Day was a complete success. Hubby is exhausted but I am smiling from ear to freakin' ear.

The day started at 8:30am. I read, dozed, read, dozed until 10am when hubby returned from running errands. I played with the kids for a bit, all tickles and giggles, and dressed for my perfect day.

Two cups of green tea, one croissant, 5 pages, and a tuna salad later, I left the cafe table I occupied for 4 blissful, uninterrupted hours (!) and headed home. I was greeted by neighbors and friends, happy kids chasing each other around the yard, and my hubby preparing a barbecue feast. There was good wine, great food, and excellent company.

And the best part - that's right, ladies - no clean up! I did not lift a finger and it felt f#&*ing f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c.

Best day I've had in a long time.
Thanks again, hubby.
Back to the grind perfect life.

I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day as well.
