My Hero

Most nights that my favorite TV shows are on I have to record them and watch them the next day. Honey-do doesn't like my silly shows. It's OK by me. I don't mind it. Today I was watching one of those shows: Life Unexpected from the CW.

Today I found myself once again so THANKFUL for my mom. The show is about a young girl who goes to find her biological parents after spending years in the foster care system. Her mother got pregnant at the winter formal at only 16 years old. This is exactly what happened to my mother.

Unlike the show's mother (she gives the daughter up to the "system" hoping she will get adopted) my mother did something even braver: kept me. I love her so much and am so thankful she was so brave.

It wasn't easy, but thankfully she had a wonderful support system. Her parents — my nana and papa — were always there for her, but didn't make it easy on her. My mom had to get a job to support me. And, she stayed in high school. She finished her senior year without taking very much time off. She even went straight into college the following fall.

She is my hero. I am so blessed to be her daughter. I love her so much and she is my best friend. I'm so happy she met and married my dad: Dennis and together they had my adorable little brother. I have such a wonderful family!!

I hope I can be half as good of a mother to my little one as my mom is to me: I think we will be alright. :)

stupid laundry

Don't you just hate when you are on a rolll and something happens and just ruins it all??? Yesterday I was in clean-mode. Dishes, house, laundry.

On my second load of laundry the stupid dryer quit working. :( NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!! The jeans are still wet... I have a doctor's appointment today and all my jeans are wet and can't be dried. Looks like I will have to get either dressed up a little and wear some slacks or go looking like a hippie in my sweatpants!!

Errrrrr..... seriously. Bad case of the Mondays, yesterday.

Hope your Monday went better than mine!!
