Mom's Day

The concept of Mother's Day is a bit different in our household. Here, the typical chores that most mother's are relieved of on this special day are done by me, the dad. I know Father's Day is right around the corner and that's why I'm creating this post. It will serve as a reminder for me. You see, Chick has been gone most of the morning, 'running errands.' To be sure there were some things she had to take care of. She had to replace a recently deceased hermit crab. And exchange tickets to today's baseball game that we cannot attend thanks to a couple of ear infections. But I couldn't help but notice that she took her new Kindle with her along with a couple of gift cards to Kohl's. Meanwhile I've done two loads of laundry, unloaded the dishwasher, changed a couple of diapers and am now preparing lunch.

Ah, yes, Mother's Day - just one more day in the life of a stay-at-home dad.
