There's Always Mom

Did you know that Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed are a couple? You won't read that in "In Touch" magazine.
Now this isn't a gossip post it's going to be a Mother's Day post and as I sit writing this I can tell it's not going to be that great of a day for me. I have a cold, I got less than 6 hours sleep last night, my kids woke up at 6:30 this morning, my husband is working today and I have to study all day for my final exam tomorrow. I guess you could say it's a true Mother's Day, no delusions of grandeur around here.

Oh well. One bright thought for today is that I'm happy to say my Mom has always been there for me and in honor of her on Mother's Day I would like to share some of my favorite facts about my Mom as a person and a Mother.

My Mom grew up in a small, country town of about 30 people.

She graduated Valedictorian of her class.

She attended Vassar College on a scholarship.

I came into her life when she was just 20 years old (bye-bye Vassar).

My Mom started her own consulting company when she was 30 years old.

She's been to all 50 states and many countries, including Australia, Tahiti, New Zealand, England and France. She's planning to go to China this Summer.

My Mom is a talented seamstress. She made some really cool Halloween costumes for me when I was young.












My Mother would read to me a LOT. Some of my favorites were the Oz books and "The Hobbit".

She sold her company in 1995 and retired for 9 years.

She's working again. She likes to work.

My Mom accepts me for who I am and if she was ever disappointed by my choices I never knew it.



I want my Mom to know how proud I am of her, how much I love her and how grateful I am for everything she's done for me. Hopefully when she reads this today she will.
