    My mom..... My mom is still here thank goodness, as I am soon to be 30. So hopefully I have quite a few more years with her!

    I am sorry for those of you who don't have your moms around. I am willing to share my mom if you want.

    My mom is a really hard worker. She worked a full time job and also some part time jobs. She would cater every Thurs night to bring in extra money. And I remember her selling Friendly Homes, is it?? Something anyway but I don't think that is right. She also used to cut hair on the side for extra money. My mom is still a very hard worker. She still has her full time job, cleans for a friend on Thurs nights and her friends son on Wed night to make extra money. She also works part time taking care of a lady on the weekends.

    I remember being slapped across the face twice by her when younger for talking back to her, I deserved it. She only remembers doing it one time and she said she went right back to her room and cried after I stomped up the stairs. She also used to carry around a wooden spoon in her back pocket when my sister and I were acting up! HAHA

    That happened to me once!!! And boy did I deserve it!!! I was 13 and we were in an argument and I called her a *itch. Then SMACK!!! Never did that again!! Thankfully my mom and I hardly ever argued. We are and always have been best friends.

    My favorite Mommy memory comes from my daughter Erin. We were in the basement tidying and I said to Erin (who was 10 at the time) "I want to get this place straightened out so that when I'm old and go into the retirement home you won't have a lot of work to do to clean it out."

    She looked at me with love in her eyes and said, "Mama you're never going to live in a retirement home...." My heart melted at her tenderness... She continued, " You're going to go live with Ryan." (Her brother)

    We still laugh at that!

    LOL My daughter worked for a retirement village here. She would come home and tell us how horrible it was for the residents. I asked her if she would ever put us in a home like that and she didn''t hesitate. "NO WAY" she said. Then she added "I will find you a good one"

    Our youngest daughter asked me how come I had to go to work. I told her I needed to put money away for when I was old. She asked who paid for Grandma. I told her sometimes we did. She thought about that for a nanosecond and told me I could keep working.
