I also get a lot of best wishes on this day, not because I am gay and ladylike, I am not, but I am the primary caregiver for our child. In this society that means M.O.M.
It is only partially a joke, my dear friends show me respect by acknowledging that I am in their club, the one that keeps the home together, the child on the right path, and everyone fed! I am happy to do it. I am glad I lost my job several years back, I fear I would have had to do it anyway and really, how much time is there in a day!
Today we started out shopping as I am known to do on the weekends as we headed to my parents and brothers house. We spent a few hours eating cheese and chatting with my parents, just like real adults! Only my folks were home at the time so it was nice to catch up, not that my mom doesn’t call everyday to make sure I am properly taking care of her grandson!
My mom wanted to add a special touch to my brother and sister-in-laws barbecue, so she ordered a boatload of sushi rolls! Actually, it did come in 2 row boat looking containers. We gobbled that down in no time. And even the dog eats like my family! He ate so fast he almost choked. He is in the right place!
After resting our fat selves, and talking about food the whole time in between courses, we began the barbecue. I do not know what was in the food, but my son put on a performance that I have never seen before. He was non-stop: play acting war scenes and just various other craziness, we were all in stitches, I thought my sister almost peed on the couch! I said she did anyway. My son and I are a little similar, if the crowd laughs at our jokes, we do not stop until we are thrown off stage! He had no sugar compared to the day before, we do not know what got into him, but the floor show was excellent!
We hit some traffic on the way home, nothing unbearable, and of course as always, the kid was exhausted from his show so he fell asleep for the night. What a great day! Thanks to everyone and I hope all my fellow moms had an awesome day and did not work too hard!
PS We watched last nights episode of SNL with Betty White, she did something to those writers, they finally did an excellent show! Betty White was fantastic, what a nice, full, wholesome career, we need more of that coming out of Hollywood.
Good-night.
