Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there, especially
mine.
Remember when you were a teenager and you thought the world was against you and your parents were out to get you?
You swore that you would let your kids do
w:h:a:t:e:v:e:r they want...
Then reality sets in, and you realize you are
exactly like your mom!
These are the things I have inherited from my amazing mother...
-When I get really mad, my eyes get really big (so do hers)
-My fun sense of humor
-My ability to give great gifts and wrap presents
-My mom has wrapping paper for every occasion...so do I.
-I cry over movies and books that no one else would even find sad or emotional
-I save money, but I spend it much better. Thanks Mom!
-My belief that TJMaxx and Marshalls require weekly visits because you never know what you might find.
-My long, skinny feet, with extra long
phalanges.
-My baking skills. We can make some mean desserts.
This is only a short list, because I look in the mirror and see my mom in everything about me. She is the greatest woman on Earth. Every time she made me do something and said "some day you'll understand", I never understood then. I understand why she did everything that she did, and I know I'll say the exact same things to my daughter.
Happy Mother's Day.
I Love You.
