Well, so far so good.
I started out Mother's Day with a complimentary breakfast in bed for my wife. I gave her a bowl of cereal and said "Hey, are you losing weight?" I figured that would be the best compliment.
Then I showed her the 2 presents, one following the idea of another creeker.
First, I had the vacuum fixed so she can keep the place a little cleaner. She's always complaining about the mess and I know how much I love to get tools to solve problems, so I figure it was just what she needed.
Second (and this is the idea I got from another Sawmill Creek thread.) I got her a brand new Echo String Trimmer! I got a commercial one because they have a little bigger engine and don't have to be used at full power. That way it won't wake me up from my nap. Win, win - I figure.
As a special act of kindness she let me use her vacuum on the whole house this morning, and then let me borrow her mop for kitchen floor. I love sharing.
Apparently I get to build that shed I have been dreaming about because she told me to stick the trimmer where the sun don't shine.
So now I am off to church and everyone is in the Mother's Day spirit. I am letting her come to the late service because she has to do the dishes before Mother's Day lunch. (I sure hope she doesn't get anything on the floor because I just mopped it.)
At church we will honor moms. Since I am a guy, I forgot about getting gifts for moms, so I figure our heart felt applause is all they really ask for.
We will celebrate the mom with the cutest kids, the mom with the smartest kids, most adorable mom, youngest mom out of wedlock, etc.
The biggest surprise will come at lunch today. When I serve the lunch, I will hand my wife exactly what she asked for - Four Carrots in a diamond pattern in a little white box. I don't know why she wants that, but hey, I'll get her anything she wants.
She's a great wife. I think I'll keep her around for another year!
