Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. I'm late. I know. I have had sporadic internet access and it seems to have mended itself. The storms that rolled through here recently did a number on some of the servers. But I digress.
Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. She's like 29 or somethin'. Do you want to know some stuff about her? Oh sure ya do.
One time, when she was a teenager she got kicked out of church for laughing. (this is where I get my inappropriate laughing gene from)
One time, she had a frozen pea war with my brother in the grocery store (she routinely tossed us things in the store, but after the great mustard debacle, we vowed only paper and plastic would be thrown)
One time, she showed us how to slurp M&M's off our place mats until we laughed so hard my Dad had to excuse himself from the table. (that's the ultimate in fun, if Dad couldn't take it and was completely embarrassed we were on the right track)
One time, she had to get a spinal tap. And instead of sobbing into the sterile gauze, she put on a hospital gown fashion show and we took pictures. (Meanwhile, my Uncles in Connecticut were texting asking if we'd started drinking so early in the day. No, that comes AFTER the spinal tap silly)
And that, in a nutshell, is my crazy Mom.
Happy Birthday Mama!!! See you for sushi and plum wine tomorrow night!

Your mom sounds amazing. Have fun, and happy birthday to her!
I want my kids to think about me the way you think about your mom.
Tell her the internet says Happy Birthday!
Thanks for making me laugh (and cry) with the reminiscing!
