This could be the single worst 'holiday' of them all.
However, I've decided to say fuck it and go golfing with my buddies over the weekend instead.
Ah, I bet that you and the kids will do something special for your wife before you take off, MS.
I went all out for my mom during her visit. I'll send her flowers and some sweets for delivery by Sunday. 800Flowers has some nice gift baskets and dessert deliveries these days. Here's the link in case that's something your two moms would like too.

P.s. Of course, the stripper is the best option, if you can get all three women in the same room after you make your escape...
If you've watched any of Downton Abbey, you'll know that if you're a married woman, you get to eat breakfast in bed, versus having to drag your ass downstairs to eat with the men (and the sister who's a spinster).
My wife would really like 'married woman' treatment Sunday. Pretty easy really. And made-by-hand cards from the kids.

My husband was going to cook chicken paprikash with spaetzle, we got halfway to the store and decided to go out to eat instead. His paprikash is good, but I don't know if it's worth the mess he makes since I'm the one that has to clean it up.

I celebrated with her a couple of weeks early when she was visiting, but she did get spoiled yesterday by her grandkids that live close to her. She didn't have to make a meal, got a trip to the casino and lots of flowers.
