777...The Mother :)

We have made it to the end of my 777 series...Have you had enough, um, I mean, aren't you so glad you learned a little more about me?

I'd like to close this epic story of my life with the woman who made it all happen (with donation from my father of course.)

Everyone.

MY MOTHER!

1. Of all your daughters who is your favorite?

I love all my daughters equally. (What a trick question) The three of you talk to each other so my answer is all three are my favorites.

***Again, this WAS a trick question, so good job Mom....and don't worry. I won't tell them you told me last night I was your absolute favorite. Your secret is safe with me!


2. Do you think I'll ever be able to cook?

Someday

***Yes, everyone. I SUCK at cooking. I'm gonna tell you why. I have no patience. I'm an instant gratifier kind of gal. But, yes,I'm working on that.

I, too, will be someone to make Food Network smile and yell, she's our next star! (MOM, stop laughing, your hurting my feelings.)

3. Why was teaching me to drive so dramatic for you?

I was not brave.

***Ok, I'll admit. If I were teaching ME, 17 years ago, I would be scared out of my mind.

4. When I played for your women's soccer team, did you expect such a superstar?

:)) I knew you could kick ass.



***I only toot my own horn because if I even attempted to put these feet on the field, the Wahhhbulance would have to come get me. I'm a tired ol' hag now and just wanted to remind myself I can kick some bute. Thanks Mom!

5. What is your most favorite memory of moi?

Being with you when you got married and being with you when you had Maddie.

***Tearfully, I tell you thanks. For handling my stress with dignity and not murder, for wiping my tears with tissue and not the green scrubbie, and for listening when both ears, and not turning UP the volume on the TV. :)

6. When you look at your first born granddaughter and then your first born daughter, what goes through your mind?

She is a clone of you.

***So by that you mean absolutely gorgeous, brilliant, smart, witty...gosh Mom, you are too much! Stop it! No, come on, stop it!

7. As I went through such a drama queen labor with your granddaughter, what do you remember the MOST about that evening?

You saying that you could not do it anymore and then the way that you took a deep breath and decided to get it over with...Like, "Let's do it"

***I won't lie. That was the worst pain I'd ever been through...but like all mothers say...instantly went away when I saw here. It's funny how you can have an internal temper tantrum though. If you guys could have been there in my brain, it would have been a prequel to me and the little one....Me slamming doors saying, I DON"T WANT TO DO THIS....or NO, NO, NO...or WHY, WHY.

*******************************

Thanks again to my mother for putting up with my crazy antics...(even now)..., for cooking me and my family dinner when I couldn't put them through the torture, for watching the kid when Mama & Dada needed to take a movie break, and for just....EVERYTHING!

Thanks to the rest of the 7 man crew for helping out....

I have to say, something possessed me the other day and my BOSS actually read this blog, he laughed while I paced outside my office, waiting for him to fire me, or just stare at me like a freak. Hehe, thanks again, if your reading this and letting me keep my job. Remember I just do this at home...(wink)
