Patanga - Trace Bundy
Yes, it is a few days early to be celebrating Mother's Day, but since this is my blog, well, I do what I want! As you may have noticed, I really like lists. So, I've decided to make a list of what makes my Mom so extraordinary!
1. Your amazing skin. I can only hope to have such epidermal awesomeness when I reach your age. (No. I will not be revealing her age because this post is all about being nice to my Mom.)
2. Your sewing skills. Seriously, you have talent. People, have you seen her purses?! Here, I'll model one for you:
(Pretty cute purse, huh?)
3. Putting up with all the teasing that we dish out to you. You either dish it right back or just smile and laugh.
4. Your biscuits and pie crusts. Now, I consider myself a decent cook, but I will never be able to surpass your skills with those two simple items. Must be all the loooooove you put in them.
5. All the time and energy you put into caring for your dad/ my grandpa. Mom, you have my everlasting respect for all you do for Poppie.
6. Letting me run wild in the kitchen from the age of 7.
7. All the summer library runs I begged you to take for me.
8. On that note, giving me love of reading. Some of my earliest memories are of you reading to me (or making up stories about princesses lost in the woods, but then a pack of talking critters rescue her and take her back to her mom and dad, the king and queen...).
9. Introducing me to the wonderful world of old Hollywood musicals. I remember that one rainy summer that we went through almost the whole classic musical section that the video store had to offer. Singing In the Rain, Carousel, The King and I, State Fair, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...we watched them all!
10. Disney movies, and not just the animated ones! The live action ones, too...Darby O'Gill and the Little People, The Gnome-mobile, The Shaggy Dog, The Absent Minded Professor, Pollyanna, The Apple Dumpling Gang...
11. Hugs and smooches on the cheek
12. Not murdering me during the teen years. I still don't know how you put up with me. I could hardly stand myself during those years.
13. Showing me not just through words, but also through actions what it means to be a Godly wife.
14. Dad and you giving us kids the precious gift of being raised in a Christ following house.
15. Always giving me a listening ear when I go off on one of my rants (which, unfortunately, is often)
16. Giggling like schoolgirls together.
17. An open shoulder to cry on.
18. The love of chocolate.
19. Laughing so hard that you legitimately cry.
20. Your unconditional love for your hubby, kids, and most importantly our Lord.
Happy Mother's Day, my Mama Mia!!! I love you, oh so much!!
P.S. The brothers are going to give me so much crap for this, but I don't care...
(And people wonder where I get my goofiness...)
