Father’s Day is. It is hard work.
I’m not saying father’s don’t deserve father’s day, oh no, I don’t feel that way for one second. I love having this day dedicated to them, honoring all that they do for their family; work, play, love, laugh, this day is well deserved. But making it so special is exhausting and it’s not even here, yet.
Father’s Day is different than Mother’s Day, there is no denying it. For instance, when there is a Mother’s Day get together. I make the food. I plan it, shop for it, make it and clean it up. I still do laundry and I still clean. And I’m still "in charge" of the chickens. I am in no way complaining about my Mother’s Day, because I LOVED my Mother’s Day. It was an amazing day. I’m just sayin’.
Now for Father’s Day, we moms still plan all the meals for the get togethers, clean and take care of the children, but it’s also important to us to make sure they get to relax and do as they wish without having to help with the kids or help around the house, and THAT is what makes the day so tiring. and to top that off, it would only be the icing on the cake for our husband for us to perform our "wifely duties." You know, to make the day EXTRA special.
So, I need to go to bed extra early to start off the days festivities. Unfortunately, for Brian, he’ll be working all day long putting our fence in, alongside his father in ninety degree weather. So, I’ll just shut my mouth now about how exhausting Father’s Day is for me and do what I can to make it even better for Brian.
Oh and while shopping for a last minute Father’s Day gift today, I realized I never told you about "The Dangerous Book for Boys" that was sent to me for review. I feel terrible because I love this book and think it’s a PERFECT Father’s Day gift, Brian has even read through it and thinks it’s such a great book to have, so, if you are shopping late, pick it up. You won’t regret it.
Happy Father’s Day to Brian.
And yes, I agree – it’s hard work

My MIL actually just gave that book to Dave for Father’s Day. Evidently she (and hubby) heard about it on the radio. It looks like fun for the boys!

a) You CRACK me up
b) I was just thinking how Father’s Day didn’t require anymore work on my part….it’s just the same stuff. Only I don’t resent L today for sleeping in or leaving his stuff everywhere because you know, it’s HIS day!!!

It is so amazing that you blogged recommending this book, because my brother just showed me this book yesterday. He is buying two copies. One for himself and one for our brother in law. It looks like a wonderful book.
