Mom

So here is the post that I was going to do about my mom yesterday but instead did the random ones. I love my mom...yes she can be overbearing at times. And yes sometimes we need a little break. But I can always count on this lady if I need her. And I have needed her. So here it is.....

What I LOVE about my mother.

1. HOW hilarious she is...she is silly with everyone. And I do mean everyone. And she has a unique sense of humor. She lost her mom before I was ever born. But she will joke about how her mom is dead and buried so she doesn't have to listen to you. She sees the humor in a lot of different things and I love that about this woman.

I noticed after I put this up it was a pic I had edited haha.Below is the real photo lol... I mean can you belive how large my sisters and moms noses are??

2. How devoted she is to her kids. And take it from me she is devoted. Before I had gotten into my car accident in Vegas. She and I had gotten into a fight the night before. I remember after waking up one of the first things I saw was my mom. I cant tell you how relived, happy, and at peace I was when I saw her. As soon as I did I knew I didn't have to worry about another thing she would take care of all of it. And she did. And it didn't matter that we had been fighting. I needed her and she was gonna be there come hell or high water.

3. What a good Grandma she is...I tell her all the time she is a way better Grandma than she was a mother. And what I mean by that is she is soo much more patient. Things aren't as important as they were when we were young. It doesn't matter if they are dirty, or someone is throwing a tantrum. She is patient with them and helps them along. I really don't think my sisters know how good they have it with my mom.

4. That she likes to hang out with me. And trusts my opinion about things. She will always ask me to go shopping with her. Or go and help pick out new glasses. Its nice to spend time with her especially since I like funny people...and she is funny.

5. That even though she complains about my dad (which would be one of my dislikes) she loves him very much. And you can tell more so by her actions. She is always thinking about something he may like or making sure he has dinner when he gets home. They still cuddle on the couch and kiss in front of us kids. Its nice to see that even with all of their ups and downs they still love each other after all this time.

6. How selfless and thoughtful she is...which i think my sister Cristy gets this trait from her. She is always thinking about someone else's needs before her own. I know that is the true meaning of the word mother "sacrifice." And she does it all the time...not just with her kids, grand kids, and husband but others as well.

7. Fair...that is one thing my mother is to a fault is fair..whether it be with money, time, work. She is fair about it. And always has been.

8. How friendly she is...all of my friends love my mom and she makes them feel welcome and at home. I love it when you find people out there that can make you feel at ease and comfortable. And my mom is one of them I think.

9. I admire how well she does with money and I wish that was a trait of hers that I could get down. I know most of it is discipline and I have very little. But my mother has always tried to instill this in me and help me better with money. I just wish I was. 

10. I love that she taught me to stick up for myself and if you see something you don't like you should voice your opinion. Root for the underdog. Don't let mean people tell you what to do. Help out others that need your help...In all she taught me to be a good person and to treat others with the kind of kindness and respect that I would want to be treated with.
