Whenever Fiddledaddy goes out of town on business, he always brings home little presents for everyone.
And really, no one is more deserving of a present than the mommy, especially after listening to a small boy repeat, “I WANT DADDY, I WANT DADDY, I WANT DADDY, I WANT DADDY!” Times one trillion.
So, when daddy first walked in the door after this particular trip, and after the children informed him how mommy nearly burned the house down when the lamp caught on fire, he passed out the presents.
I assured him that the “house nearly burning down” story had undergone many embellishments in the days since the dreaded event.
So, for mommy’s present, he took us all out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. And ordered the bedraggled mommy a “Wallabe Darned.” And it was 2 for 1.
Come to mama.

Ah, a beautiful thing!!! (The drink AND daddy coming home…)
It’s 8:39am and I’m totally jealous!
You go Dee Dee!
YES. Good call Fiddledaddy. Also, SUPER CUTE glasses. (the spectacles, not the drinks. well, the glass is kind of a spectacle. ok, nevermind.)
Daddy presents (and presence) are the best. Go ahead have that second one, on me. You deserve it.
Awww…the best drink ever invented.
Btw, my hubby travels too. I started an MSM Club (Married Single Mom). If you’re ever in the great Peach State, email me–I’ll assemble the whole club, and we’ll do Outback together.
Oh, he is WISE man.
Sounds like a good hubby!
Dang. Too bad I didn’t know about that. I’d have gladly come to help you with that other one…
Now that’s a present i like!
Sweeeet…
I can see the sparkle in those baby blue eyes. Cute photo.
Now THAT is a beautiful thing!
and that picture would be nothing without those glasses.
A Wallabe Darned is the first alcoholic drink I ever consumed. I had it on my 21st birthday. Aahhh… memories!!!.
I love the presents when they come home from trips.
And going out to dinner is always a good present for mom!!
You and my wife would get along just fine.
That drink looks absolutely delicious!
I hope you drank both!
Now that’s a present you can be happy about! Getting out the house!
If only you could have hired a baby-sitter, too….
I hardly ever bring my kids back stuff when I travel because I don’t want them to expect it. I just buy them little things randomly.
But being away does make you realize how much you actually love them, even when they do whine!
Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!
That is just the best pic of you ever.
