As I've said before being a mother is the hardest job I have ever had. And I have had alot of jobs!! From Newspaper girl, to Publix cashier, to counter help at a deli, a waitress, a bartender, a babysitter and the list goes on and on! Most of the time I worked a job or two AND went to school. But, that was easy breezy compared to being a mom! That's why I wanted to write about MY MOM! :)
She truly is my hero, I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for her. My mother was the kind of mom who made green eggs and ham for dinner (our homage to Dr. Seuss :) Sometimes we had banana splits for breakfast and orange sherbet with sugar cones from the Farm Stores for dinner. Of course, these were special occasions, which is why I remember them :) My mother allowed my siblings and myself to explore and experiment to discover who we were and who we wanted to be. She ALWAYS kissed me good night and said she loved me atleast 5 times a day! My mother was a bad ass hard working single mom who juggled 2-3 jobs with school AND 3 crazy kids (my oldest bro was with my dad). Boy did we give her a run for her money, but she returned the favor AND THEN SOME!! For those of you who know my mother know she is no push over! Shes tough, like Superhero tough, (that's where I get it from bitch!) But, loves her children very much and would do anything for them.
I'm sure YOUR mother is a lot like my mother :)
I use to blame my mother for freakin EVERYTHING! You name it and it was HER fault! Yep...without a doubt...it was HER HER AND HER! And then I grew up and realized she did her best, just as most parents! And as she knew better she did better :) Just like ME! I remember during my freshman of college I wrote my mother a "please forgive me I'm an asshole" letter. She of course obliged. :)
So mother, did I ever tell you your my hero? That I'm so grateful and blessed to be just like you! :) And I wouldn't have it any other way. Loving you....Peace.
