Mother's Day

Ha, remember the horror film of that name from, I believe, '81? Oh, wow...I just googled it...1980, actually! I wonder if that's on cable anywhere tonight. But I digress. Naturally, today included dinner at mom's...dad cooked...I set the table like a good firstborn son. I was surprised how pleasant I was once I got there...because I'd been screaming profanities in the car the entire ride over. Literally the entire ride. For the holiday, more complete dolts than usual on the road...including those damn out-of-staters. But yeah, I was in a very good, CALM mood for the duration of my stay. After dinner, I stopped by My Other Family's for dessert and fun with Baby Fred. The "highlight" of my day, though? Sad, but true...cleaning all my bed coverings, including the mattress pad. Oh, but there's more -- I vacuumed my mattress...for the first time EVER. I read yesterday it should be "aired out" and cleaned for those dust mites...helps combat allergies. And so, I did. So domestic of me, huh? Yes...and I damn well better sleep like a baby tonight. Happy Mother's Day, mom!
