Only 9 more day’s! Holy crap how did this happen so fast. LOL. I have worked for this all this winter. You know it is a really good feeling too. But in the same moment I am sad that it will be coming to an end. Only this section of my goals. Don’t get me wrong on that okay. I have so many more that I am reaching for. I am not going to bore you with all of them here right now. But they are there….

Here is what I am going to bore you with today. A thank you to all the mom’s in the world especially mine. I know me … I will forget that it is mother’s day in all the hustle of my kids swim meet. Mom and dad will be celebrating their 39^th wedding anniversary on the same day. And i am one of those kids… that calls up AFTER and says. “I remembered all the way until I was supposed to call. Than I simply forgot. So now that it is 2 weeks latter. Happy anniversary and mothers day. I really do love you. But I forgot my brain in the toilet that day. “

So here I take the time….. to thank you mom. See I know you and I, we get on each other nerves. We both are easy to argument. But at the end of the day. We both can put everything aside and say. “I love you” even more than that mom. Thank you.

You were the one to bring me life. Yes, I know God gave me the breath of life. But you nurtured me in your womb for those long 9 months. You put up with me screaming “MULKIE MOMMY MULKIE” from my crib at 0200 every night for 14 months.(side note) Thank you for the water that night…. made me realize how much I really wanted to sleep through the night too. 😉

You were there for 5-6 years of gymnastics lessons and meets. The competitions. OH how many there were. And did you miss them? No, Not one. You drove all over the state with more than your share of “Extras” in the car with you. You were the “Team mom” you did our hair, took pictures, and clapped/ cheered Louder than any other person there.

You were there EVERY NIGHT around the table with a home cooked meal and the conversation that mom’s and dad’s are supposed to have with their kids. You made us do chores like all good mom’s do. I had kids so that I could make them do all my dishes. 😉 * BEAMS*

Than there was the dance recitals. I was only in that for a short year or two. But you were there every day with bells on. Even when you had a migraine and only wanted to be able to sleep. There was the piano and the flute… the NOISE you must have endured ( I am getting it back now with the trombone in the house OYE) Than the four years of the hot unbearable swimming pool. The times you wrote down not just for me but for EVERY KID ON THE TEAM. And the few on the other teams that were so sweet and we had made friends with them….. The memory book you made with every news clipping from the whole season… ALL FOUR YEARS!

cannot forget the HUNDREDS of feild trips we went on and drug you with us… the fact that you and dad owned your own buisness so that you could be there for us kids. In doing that you spent just as many hours working with/ for dad as you did working for/ with us in everything that we did.

Now over the past 16 years you have taken on a new role. The one of the Grandma. May I tell you. You BEAM in this role. This is the one that you have been waiting for and guiding yourself for your whole life. You are the most AMAZING grandma. You now play all the roles up above, the taxi,the cheerleader, the heart warmer, the nurse, you are now the grandma of the whole group Not just our kids ( my sister’s and mine) But now to the whole town.

You now drive 100 miles to “watch” a swim meet that the grands are in. you will travel to the end of the earth for them. Just like you did ME! How can I tell you How much you mean to me? I have been sitting here trying to figure that out for the past few weeks. And here is what I have come up with….. in the words of my 4 year old… “ Nani’s the Bestest! MUAH!”

I love you mom. Happy Mother’s day and Happy anniversary. EARLY so as I don’t forget on the real day. Like I know I will. Stupid Toilet keeps swallowing my brain.
