Thirteen Reasons Why I Have a Great Mom


Thirteen Reasons Why I Have a Great Mom


In honor of Mother's Day, here's a post on why my mom is so fabulous

1. She may be in her 40s, but she could be 25.
2. We travel well together - and I never have to pay.
3. She was in a bad marriage to my dad and was strong enough to leave.
4. She was even stronger when she fell in love with my stepdad
5. To whom she is still married to and still loves more and more every day.
6. She lets me bitch, she lets me cry, she lets me laugh with her.
7. She's taught me that independence is not a bad thing.
8. And when you're so independent that you can't afford food - there's always some at her place.
9. She's vibrant and kind and loving, all at the same time.
10. The best way to express anger is to give someone a sweet nickname, like cupcake.
11. She knows life isn't easy and doesn't pretend that it will be.
12. She's shown us that you can have a professional career and a family.
13. The best reason why she's so fabulous - because she's all mine! (Well, mine and my brothers and sister)

GREAT post....I was in Chicago last week...my blog has many of my adventures in it. Your Mom and you sound a lot like my Mom and I were at those ages. I am now in my 40's and she is in her 60s. We were (and are) great friends though.

My TT is up.
