Mums....

I decided to show my mum my blog. She was upset that I didn't include more about her other than the one comment on my first blog. So here, I dedicate this entire blog to mum.

My mum is funny, smart and witty. Her likes include but are not limited to-

Having her hair brushed when she is tired, talking for long hours on end to her sister Nancy, having her feet massaged, Funny Cars, Church, Hummers, Volvos, Gold hoop earrings, wearing her pajamas, girly movies, CSI tv show, Dancing with the Stars, READING, new recipes, Cooking healthy foods especially seafood, swimming, spending time with the kids, some computer games, wine, traveling, camping, fishing, music favorites include- daughtry, journey, Michael Bolton and christian music. She likes Sandra Bullock, Beauty and the Beast, trying new restaurants, watching the home shopping network on Sunday mornings, Angel figurines, soft blankets, Sunglasses, the perfect purse that has pockets for everything but isn't overly large, wearing hats on bad hair days, getting her hair done with Kay (her super awesome hair designer), my brothers middle name Aaron, creative art, sitting outside and talking, listening to my awful jokes, teasing people, wearing her cross, the color red, the perfume red, Bath and Body works Fresh Cotton smell, her super awesome washing machine and dryer, Costco, saying the word Herb instead of pronouncing it as Erbs and she loves her animals.

She doesn't love working, but is there all the time so that she can provide for her family the things that she thinks they need, deserve or should have. She will put her needs off to the side to make sure that someone in the family is provided for first. She usually has the best advice and sometimes is able to say nothing at all for you to understand just exactly how much trouble you are in. She likes to burn my forehead and pulls a Mike Tyson when she puts jackets on children. She doesn't like black hair on blonde children and she likes to speed walk. She will buy funky boxers for boys and super awesome festive toe socks for girls during holidays. She talks with her husbands ex wife and is great friends with her. She cries every time she watches Extreme Home Makeover.

My mum is a great person and even though we may not see eye to eye on situations, I have always respected her for who she is and what she has done for me and my brothers. She is an inspiration to me and if anyone is aspiring to be a wonderful mom, her footsteps are the book of knowledge on that topic.
