Mother’s Day Aftermath

Mother’s Day was fine in the BadDadstead. I let Awesome Mom sleep until 7:00am, then allowed an hour for celebration. I even baked brownies. Then it was back to work. Unfortunately she only washed seven loads yesterday. That’s what I get for being nice.

She got the full queen treatment:

• Greeting card – $3
• Flowers – Pulled them out of the garbage (yes, they were fresh enough)
• Breakfast at her favorite restaurant – $36
• LEGO Star Wars Jabba’s Sail Barge– $75
• I baked chewy brownies – $1.29

No joke, Awesome Mom wanted a LEGO set. Even the boys came to me several times in past weeks. But it’s so friggin cool, who couldn’t resist bringing this thing into the homestead:

You really can’t go wrong with Star Wars Lego

By the way, have I mentioned lately how stupid greeting cards can be? Here’s the best I could find this year:

How is a mom like you different from a light bulb?
You could never be replaced.

Groan. These cards get worse and worse.

One of my guys asked me yesterday what I wanted for Father’s Day? I was about to suggest the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer
…but I told him a hug would be best.
