I think Father’s Day went pretty well.
Here are some tips to file away for next year:
- Just for this one day, BACON at all three meals.
- And no green vegetables.
- No power tools, unless he asks for them. Only fair, considering my “Don’t you dare give me a present that plugs in and/or cleans something” rule.
- Give in on the No-Star-Wars-sheets thing and go to Pottery Barn Kids and buy him a pillowcase. Try not to think about it at night.

- Don’t even think about touching the remote today, lady. You will watch war movies, John Wayne marathons and hours of the Military Channel, and you will say nothing.
- Be grateful and stuff. Frankly, I’m surprised the guy comes back from work every day.
- Tell him he’s the best dad ever, because he is.
To be clear, he never asked for Star Wars sheets. It was always a joke between us. But he didn’t turn his nose up at it either!

You are WAY nicer than I am. We ixnayed the pattern sheet and he had to eat risotto yesterday on good china 🙂
Crack the whip! Not the good china!
Awesome Father's Day post! And I will thank my lucky stars everyday that mine does not want a star wars pillowcase 🙂
LOL! He told me he never asked for it, but I ken the secret longings of his heart.
As a good wife should. Perhaps next year I'll get to try some of these tactics out. In fact, I could probably just stop at Bacon For Ever Meal and save the others for years to come. He'd never know.
Mind you, I would likely be the one happiest with "Bacon at Every Meal".
already a follower—stopping by from the alexa hop to read around 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great week.
Rachel, yes, roll them out slowly to keep it fresh.
AdventuresInDinner, I was not unhappy with it either.
WP, thanks for stopping back by!
That was too cute!
Thanks for joining our Alexa Hop, I am your newest follower. HAGW!
Thanks, Jen! Nice to meet you!
As long as the sheets don't glow in the dark…..!
Be grateful and stuff: words to live by!
Glow in the dark Star Wars sheets–oy!
Susan, words to live by indeed.
Um… bet I could make me some money with glow in the dark Star Wars sheets in Cal King size!
Shirin, you should pitch that to Pottery Barn Kids.
Love this! Especially the star wars pillow case! I bet he had a great day!
I think he had a good day. I'm not good with stuff like that, but I try. Food helps.
Visiting from the Alexa Hop. Agreed…vomit…see Daddy…I can handle the rest.
LOL. I just read your list to Batman. I think he wants to marry YOU now. 🙂
It is a bit of a miracle that they come home every day, isn't it? I always act surprised.
Good ones!
