i forgot to send a card.

Hi Mom!
This was the year I was going to send you a card. I swear it. I always feel like a heel when I call you on Mother’s day and you tell me what your four other children have done for you and I couldn’t even remember to send you a card. I always promise you something, but I never follow through. (I guess somethings never change huh?)

So this year, I give to you…the list of why I am the best child you ever gave birth to.

1. I gave you THREE grandbabies! One more than the others.
2. I never robbed a bakery.
3. You never had to chase me with logs.
4. I don’t live down the street from you and that means I don’t bug you by visiting all the time ;)
5. I wouldn’t ever stink up your house with flowers.
6. When you told me you threw a frog at a dog, I totally understood you.
7. I didn’t marry Ethan.
8. I didn’t hate you when you taught the dog to come to me when you told it to, “Go say hi to your sister.”
9. Even at 33 when I come visit you we still sleep in the same bed, stay up watching “the dog whisperer” and talking about the old days. We still hold hands until we finally fall asleep.
10. I picked Shaun.

Alright, those are lame reasons why I should be your favorite.

It’s enough knowing you love me (more than Kathy) and you’re here with us. You are an awesome mom and I didn’t even send you a card. I guess Kathy might be your favorite because she will get to spend the day with you and bring you flowers and presents. that bitch. ;)

Happy Mother’s day to my sister too. She did it. If you are working two jobs just to be able to buy diapers and make sure your kid has clean clothes for school. Kathy is your inspiration. She did it. She pulled through those times and Paul and her are so close. I admire her.

Susie said it best on her blog about mother’s day. Go over and read what she said.

Happy Mother’s Day Moms & Mom’s alike
