Happy Birthday Mom!

February 24.......24 reasons I am blessed to have her.

1. She is kind to everyone...always

2. She is a self taught nurse and psychologist

3. She has the "perfect pitch"

4. She has a contagious laugh...I always laugh once she starts 

5. She taught her girls to clean (some better than others)

6. She never gossips and sees the good in everyone

7. She is generous and sensitive 

8. She is a near perfect employee and is VERY loyal

9. She loves her kids and grandkids and expresses it freely

10. She taught us by example that it's possible to have lots of kids and still find time to pursue personal talents and interests

11. She is very musical, creative, and artistic.  She's usually the mastermind behind every creative thing I do

12.  She can't draw worth beans (remember the horse drawing contest!)

13.  She loves her man and has been the greatest example to her kids of how to have a happy and fulfilling marriage

14. She will never let you down

15. She is the best listener I know

16. She is one heckuva a great ironer and believes it's every wife's duty to iron their family's clothes.....(some of us are proving to be great disappointments in this area)

17. She's beautiful inside and out.  I'm pretty positive several boys dated me because they liked my mother

18. She is the glue that holds the family together--ours and the one she was born into

19.  She is content (and patient enough) to sit back and observe--letting others have the attention

20. She rarely criticizes and sees the good in each of her children

21. She hates anything old, grungy, or peeling.  She especially detests motel carpets and bathrooms

22. She'd probably rather have a root canal without meds, than listen to you pop your gum or chew like a pig

23. She is a worrier, but now admits that 99% of the things that have kept her up at night, have never actually come to pass

24. She loves the color green and is a talented decorator

One more to make a wish on...

25. She is compassionate, funny and good at everything she does--whether it's pulling off a wedding or a children's choir production, she does it with grace and style.

I love you Mom.  You are everybody's friend. 

I hope you have a fabulous day.
