werd 2 ur father
Around these parts, Father's Day was rocked traditional style.
- Slept in approximately one hour beyond usual - check
- Warm breakfast served with a smile and kiss - check
- Enjoyed a quiet morning interrupted only by the adoration of others - check
- Lunch at a restaurant of choice - check
- Gifted with a thoughtful yet practical item - check
- A two hour, utterly uninterrupted nap - check
- A reprieve from being on "What's that smell? Is that you?" duty - check
- A nice, casual dinner where everyone ate without coercion - check
Then I remembered it was actually Father's Day. Huh. Whattaya know.
So I gave my Tool Man a little kiss, complimented it with one of my trademark little tweaks, thanked him for his good works, and wished him a happy Father's Day.
Then I closed my eyes and took another little nap.
Yep. Father's Day around here totally rocked. Hope you all had a lovely one as well.

Dad's Day was great at our house! Mr. Hallisicle even did the cooking - shrimp scampi!!
YEEHAW!!!
Hallie :)
Dad grilled steaks here.......thank God the weather cooperated.
Glad you had a great Father's Day, Diff Gal! sounds like the perfect way to spend the day. :)
Have a great week!
It was Father's Day?
I arose with Molly at 5AM to cover paper routes for our two teen boys whom we had blessed with sleepovers at friends' houses. After which, we had to retrieve 5M from his friend's house, so we could get to the early Mass in time to hit the road down to D-town, where 2F's summer mission trip was having their 'Family and Friends Day'. During the drive home, while Molly and the kids slept, 1F called me on the cell phone, and I spent most of the drive home helping her with her math class. Then home in time for a quick nap (getting up at 5AM isn't such a no-big-deal at my age, as what it used to be), after which, it was off for a Bible class with folks from our community. Then back home for a complete collapse. . .
But you know, my kids always ask me what I want for Father's Day, and I always say something like, "I want my kids to get along, and not fight with each other." So yeah, it was a very good day. . . ;)
Hmm. Yeah. I was mopping the kitchen floor and then baking a cake last night at about 10 pm. Is that what I was supposed to be doing on Father's Day?
Therese gave me head for Fathers Day.
A new shower head. Its great.
And this is perfectly fair because of how Mothers Day went down for you.
I need to be a father so that I can have a cool day like that.
I am so glad you enjoyed Fathers Day - thats what it is all about right? Our needs must come first! :)
hehehehehe
Glad you tweaked TM so he felt loved on his day. Jim got some nice cards, and then he was immediately ordered to make breakfast, I mean, he graciously cooked for his adoring family! :)
Are you above water?
You absolutely deserved it after cleaning up throw up on mother's day.
Yeah, that totally makes up for your Mother's Day.
We always seem to have conversation slike this:
Me: You better be nice to me.
Him: Me?? It's Father's Day. You better be nice to me!!
We're SO mah-ture...
I borrowed* a child for father's day and they made me cookies and brownies. Then I ate them and made myself a brownie a-la-mode for dinner. ;o)
*child was my niece. :o)
As IF you don't own an acid wash jean jacket!!!
Hallie :)
bee - Uh, you ate the brownies, right? 'Cuz the wording you used was, you know, kinda ambiguous. . .
WWoW - Around these parts, I have to excuse the Tool Man from cooking, or else every night would be tacos and french fries for dinner. The fancy stuff, like the scampi, gets left up to me!
Cocotte - Two good things in your comment - the cooperative weather (finally!!) and steaks. Mmmm...all wonderful!
Katie - I need more Father's Days around here!
Des - I needed another Father's Day style nap after reading about YOUR Father's Day!
FTN - I assume you were baking that cake for me, thus, I shall sit here patiently and wait for you to deliver it. Then you can mop MY kitchen floor! That sounds like a double entendre, but seriously, my floors need mopped.
RS - Did you giggle when you realized you could say you got head for Father's Day? I would have. Oh, and look how you slipped "went down for" in there. Well done! I would have giggled buying a shower head because oh, those baby's can be nice gifts for mother's, too...
Bogart - Works equally as well for mothers, too!
Justlori - It was a high and dry and tweak happy Father's Day. If it's anything, I let Tool Man pick out the movie he wanted to rent and see. He picked SemiPro. It was a semi awful choice, though!
Meg - Amen. That's all I can say about that without the potential for gagging in recollection!
Melody - Oh, me and the Tool Man? We're supa mature, too! Well, he is. I'm perpetually 15.
Bee - Ha! It does sound like you ate Andy and your niece and then capped off that meal with a brownie ala mode! I hope Andy's wasn't tough and gristly.
WWoW - My mom wouldn't buy me an acid wash denim jacket, but I did have me some killer Capezio acid wash jeans back in the day. I just learned that the day doesn't continue into the present! Ha!
Des - Bee's silly like that. I imagine her husband is still out there, waiting on her hand and foot, as he should be!
Father's Day was kind of sad around here. My husband being 1100 miles away was hard for the kids. My son just cried and cried when I finally got their dad on speakerphone.
My own dad was a pain in the ass about Father's Day, as usual. He doesn't want gifts or acknowledgement, the jerk. He insisted on watching the kids while my mom and I went to a movie. So our day was kind of like yours!
Sounds like you had a good time all round!
I hear you on the "What's that smell?" That's a constant refrain around our house.
Them two were delish! Let me know if any of y'all want me to babysit. ;op
In my defense it was a wee bit before my bedtime... uh, that's it.
5 more minutes before I have to go beddy bye.
Bunny - I wondered how Father's Day went at your place with your husband away from home. How heartbreaking to help your kids through that! I bet it hurt's your husband's heart, too.
In the end, I hope you at least got to see a good movie after going through all that with your own dad.
Mandy - Oh, I'd have hoped we would have outgrown the "What's that smell?" game around here long ago. It goes to show you can apparently never rest!
Bee - I like to dine on my humans with a side order of coleslaw and an icy cold drink. I can see, however, the allure of washing them down wiht a brownie ala mode! I can't eat that heavy just before bed time, though, so I hope you got a good night's sleep after that!
Also, yes, please, babysit...
Wow, that was a good father's day...
Creative-type dad - It certainly trumped Mother's Day! BTW, I've lurked in your blog from time to time, and I'm coming to visit soon!
