Mother's Day and Power Tools

Ah, Mother's Day...A day devoted solely to the fertile females of the species, the women in our lives that have cared for, are caring for or soon will care for us or our children. Our Mother's Day began with the kids desperately trying to gather the proper accoutrements to serve their Mommy breakfast in bed. This was so darn cute but pathetic at the same time. It consisted of 3 cookie sheets each with a croissant, homemade picture frame and a card, respectively.
My wife did the noble thing and ooh'ed and ahh'ed over the makeshift breakfast and kisses and hugs were had all around. When her children asked what she wanted to do for Mother's Day, she said "spend the day with you!" then she turned to me and said "and work in the yard. Do you think you could get the weed eater to work? I also want to go to Home Depot and price the composite decking so I can redo the deck in a few weeks...and if the weed eater doesn't work, maybe I can just get a new one. Yes, that is what I want for Mother's Day. A weed wacker...I just LOVE powertools!" Yep folks. That is my day ahead. Watching the kids while my wife indulges herself in the thing she loves most-handy man/landscaping activities! Hope everyones' Mother's Day is as productive as my wife's...and if not, sucks for you....
