As it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow, I thought I’d tell you all a little bit about my mommy.
We argue, a lot. As far back as when she used to take me to school in the morning and I couldn’t get her out of bed or I couldn’t find matching socks :P but isn’t that what mothers and daughters are supposed to do? She drives me crazy and I drive her pretty crazy. She’s said a few times that it’s probably good we don’t live together because it’s better I love her 45 minutes away than hate her living at home.
But I can never hate my mommy. She’ll start sentences with “don’t get mad, but …” “well, I don’t know if I should say anything, but …” I say some pretty terrible stuff to her. Pretty much every other phone call ends with her saying, “you don’t have to yell at me!” but I know that no matter what I say, she’ll always love me just the same.
I’m always trying to get her to exercise and work less. She thinks it’s because I like bugging her, but really I want to keep her around for a while! I only bug her more than my dad because she complains more and it’s easier to interject, “you know what can help with back pain…”
She’s always worked super long hours. My grandpa used to bug her about it. I used to ask her to quit her job when I was little, but she would say we can’t go to Disney every year then, so I let her keep her job. She’s been working there longer than I’ve been alive.
She did leave work early one day to take me to meet Jerry O’Connell in the city :) Big mommy points there. She took me prom dress shopping and wedding dress shopping and was ever so patient as I tried on dress, after dress, after dress :D She took me shopping for clothes a lot, though most shopping trips ended with me yelling at her.
My favorite childhood video is my dad filming me while my mom’s at the supermarket. He keeps asking me if I want a bottle and I keep repeating, “mommy come home, mommy give me baba.” I can distinctly remember being very attached to my mom.
Even now, she’s the only person I ever call just to chat about stuff. I don’t know why. She understands when I’m worried and freaked out about stupid stuff because she worries about everything too.
I’d also like say that both of my mothers-in-law are awesome people too and Bryan’s grandma. I really lucked out with my in-laws. They’ve always treated me like family, even before I was family. I hope they’re having a great mother’s day too!
Aww!! That was a really sweet post! =)
That’s crazy that she’s still working a lot now though!!! What does she do?
she’s an accountant
I don’t think there’s anyone that can love you just the same after an argument like mothers can =P She sounds and looks like a strong woman =)
That is really, really sweet and also really honest. I love that post! :D
That is a gorgeous picture. :D My mum and I don’t get along very well, but I know she cares about me all the same. She does annoy me when she gets strict about things but I know she just worries like any parent would.
Always a good thing when your partner’s parents are just as lovely :)
