So….
I have this wonderful new blog that I read…. LOVE her SO MUCH…
She is a baker much like me. and I have stolen quite a few recepies from her. and used them…. A LOT. so when she started a momma contest. well. it was EASY to know who to write about. (Insert suck up here) So I wrote this in her comments but I thought I would share it here too. My mom has always been so much to us kids…. and really it is hard to put it all into words. I do love you momm…. no matter what. and you are ONE of the most SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE I KNOW…
We truely are blessed to have been given you!
So I give you the post I wrote on Joy the Baker.
So, your question made me start thinking about all those things that I take for granted. Now that I HAVE two teenagers (and 3 more little ones) in the house it sure helps me realize what moms do for their little ones.
My mom was no exception to the rule. She not only tried to teach me right from wrong but about responsibilities and proper money management. I didn’t even get my drivers license until two weeks before graduation. During my senior year I had 4 jobs that my mom took me to and from every day. I look back on that and think “WOW and I only filled the gas tank a few times.”
But I can tell you that the thing I remember most about my momma is that she went to every swim meet there was. she sat in the pool that was SO HOT I thought she would have a heat stroke and not only cheered ME ON…. she took over being team mom for everyone. she cried with all of us when we missed a time and she was there to hug us when we beat our time. She even sat through my first 500 yard swim EVER. It took me 22 minutes. And she cheered every excruciating minute of that 500. While bitting her nails of course.
Don’t get me wrong mom and I butt heads, ALOT… but she no matter what has taken on being the best mom that ever was. NOT only to me. but to those that needed her. Even when I ran my first Triathlon last year. IT was my MOMMA that meet me at the end with my husband to scoop me up and tell me how proud they were of me. My mom even made a sign and held it up PRIDE full on her face.
I only hope that I am HALF as good as my momma….. she continues to support me & my children as they are in the pool or on the track or when they need just that extra hug because they got a C on a test instead of an A. She was an A+ momma and now she is an A+++ grandma of 9 grandchildren!
Thank you momma for being YOU. We were blessed to be given you.
