Slacker.......

I am a slacker. Go ahead......call me names. I feel shame. You know as well as I do that this time of year is the greatest, but the busiest as well. So let me catch you up.....Lots of parties, lots of birthday's, lots of wrapping......you get the picture.

Last week was my mom's birthday. She turned...just kidding mom. I wouldn't dare do that to you. If you knew my mom, you would know that she loves birthdays, but hates telling her age. She thinks she looks like 98 and is old and wrinkled, but others think differently. She is so pretty and doesn't look half her age. You can tell her that all day long and she will never believe you. Anyway, my mom is a very special person in my life. I wouldn't make it without her. My roomates used to make fun of me in college because I would call her every day and talk to her. She is my bestfriend and always will be. She has taught me a lot.

Things I wouldn't know if I didn't have my mom:

1. Is it ok to give J tylenol with decongestant

2. How to cook a ham, turkey, pot roast, corn bread

3. How to be a self -less parent

5. When to go to the doctor

6. How to be a good wife

7. How to be nice to people no matter what

8. How she managed to make me tell you everything in highschool (really still don't know that one)

9.Why Rusty makes me so crazy sometimes

10. It is ok to me

The number one question I ask my mom is.......

What do you think I should do?

No matter what I call my mom with, she always has an answer and always gives me reassurance and encouragement. She has never discouraged me or given me a negative answer. Rusty laughs at me because he knows when I am worried that I am calling my mom for advice.

I don' t know what I would do without you ma! Happy Birthday! I love you.

I am truly blessed to have a mom like I have. She has raised me well and I am so happy to be her daughter.

Merry Christmas if I don't blog before then!
