Oh mother!

I know that I have failed to write for a long time. The problem is we saw you two weekends in a row which means you heard all my good stories and not wanting to bore you to death I held off writing and only now have I realized that I have fallen way way off course so here we go.
Today is mother's day. Normally I hate this day. There is a part of me that is convinced it was a man who created it because what woman would put a holiday on a Sunday? This day is all about  go sit in church in an uncomfortable dress and try to keep your children quite so that other people won't know that your children are hooligans! Um no thanks. For years I convinced Myers that church was optional on that day and my plan was starting to work and then mother guilt crept in. That and I was losing my footing on conference days being optional as well so I bite the bullet and let mother's day attendance be mandatory once more.
I am starting to think that maybe I should rethink my aversion to this holiday because truth be told he really hit it out the park this time.
I woke up to breakfast in bed and these

As I was shoving the last of my breakfast into my gob he came into our room and the boys presented me with this.

I showed great restraint BTW and did not have this as a second breakfast. This is proof that I am growing as a person.
But the absolute best part was that he got the kids ready for church and let me sleep for twenty extra minutes. In mom time this is like an extra 29 hours of sleep. I was feeling like the most pampered human being that ever existed and didn't even mind that I had to go to church.
Twenty minutes into church however there was a small hiccup. Thing two hates to wear ties and normally he wears a clip on but today he had one that was tied on and he began to fuss with it and soon was turning purple and since you know this being the day of mother's I thought I should do my duty and not let him die. It was then that I discovered Myers dirty secret. This is how he had "tied" the tie.

I don't have words. Keep in mind that he ties a tie on himself at least 5 times a week. Or does he? Now I am not really sure. I laughed it off and as I was trying to conquer the cube I made another shocking discovery. The length of the tie was not even close to correct.

Observe the shame and that this is a baby length tie.  He told me that nobody would find out as long as he kept his coat on. Spoken like a true man. Luckily for us all I had chocolate to stress eat.
