another theory....mothers day vs fathers day

though i have had thoughts about this blog running through my head for the past week or so, watching last night's episode of the middle made me want to bring it to fruition....

what is mothers day? on mothers day, the husband decides that since it is only one day, perhaps he can play the role of the mother...bringing her food, taking care of the kids, cleaning up the kitchen, making sure that she can have a restful,pleasant day.....that being said, i have been thinking about fathers day..

if on mothers day, the husband is supposed to act like the mother (minus the moodiness, crankiness and screaming) then on fathers day, the mother is supposed to be play the role of the father (minus the constant need for affection, attention and sports). so this year, on fathers day, i am going to wake up at 6 in the morning and leave the house until 8 at night. i am going to earn money(anyone need a babysitter?) and then i am going to come home and expect dinner on the table(leftovers are totally acceptable)and to be given a few moments of peace and quiet(and the remote)after my long hard day at work ....

how is that? this year we have no plans for mothers day(exept for baseball, of course) i don't expect any grand gestures...i just want to go spinning and to have my family tell me how wonderful they think i am(to be said with a straight face) and how much they appreciate all i do for them (also to be said with a straight face.) I am actually thinking of hiding everyones socks and underwear just to see how they handle that knowing that it is mother's day and that no one is supposed to bother me...

in a perfect world, every day should be mothers day (sorry dads...) but, since moshiach isn't here and it still isn't perfect...i will take my one day a year and appreciate every minute...

3 more shopping days until mothers day....(in case you didn't know)

happy thursday
