Mother's Day, Another Day

Mother's Day, ah yes.....all those pictures of mom at the spa, mom getting a massage, mom at champagne brunch, blah blah blah! Yep, Mother's Day is a work day at our place. DON'T get me wrong, I so don't want to wait in line with masses for lunch. I did get to go out to Bonefish for a bite on Friday nite = and it was sooooo yummy. The Bang Bang shrimp were "to die for" (until Tyler told me the sauce was primarily made with mayo....uck). Tyler showed up with some Taco Bell burritos....no card, no flowers, BURRITOS - my ass had only been up for few hours. He then got Daddy to stop finishing the wall to help him change his oil cause he couldn't remember exactly how the Jack worked?? Wait.....back to Tyler's truck.

Tyler bought the wrong oil! Back to the store they tootled, good excuse for a beer run:{ Then Mike helped Tyler and then got back to work on "just another brick in the wall." Tyler then borrowed our truck to go and pick up a king bed he had acquired....I did decline the ride-along, mostly out of fear of having to lift something heavy! Should have gone along just to make sure he put a few dollars in the gas tank - no such luck. Weeded, raked, power washed, gave Mike more "moral wall support." Then I had to clean up and get my arse inside to prep dinner. Luckily I had marinated the chicken the night before. Tyler decided he wasn't that hungry yet so I loaded him up with some hot dogs and uncooked pasta salad and kissed the back of his head........bbb bye :)

Sammy was running around like a banshee, till we caught her and Steffi with the "toads" - which they had sneakily tried to put some nail polish on in order to identify them?!??!? WTF???? Oh, she was so in trouble! Yeah, not a turtle shell - can you say porous? After a big telling off, Steffi scurried home and Sam skulked inside to try and wash the red off her hands. Mommy was MAD!! Mike got the grill ready.......well he thought he had a full tank of propane - somewhere?? Back to the basics.....charcoal. The chicken eventually got cooked (as did Mike). Sat down with Sammy to eat and watch the Amazing Race finale! Happy Mother's Day......................
