Happy Mother's Day

This list was originally posted on my Mom's blog and is very appropriate for Mother's Day. I love you, Mom!


..... I like Top Ten Lists, so here are the Top Ten Things I like about my Mom. (Note to Mom: Top Ten means there are more than just ten things!!!)

Number 10: She works hard at all that she does and like doing a good job. I did not realize this until we started sharing work stories and problems. I am not sure how she passed that hard working attitude on to my brother and me, but I need to figure it out so I can teach my daughters.

Number 9: She is also very attentive to the little things. She knows I love iced tea and splenda. She always has that on hand when we visit. She knows the girls like girly-things, so she buys them inexpensive girly gifts that go a long way to making them happy.

Number 8: She takes care of her skin and has very soft hands.

Number 7: She does a family newsletter for both sides of her family to keep everyone in touch.

Number 6: She takes the time for others. She makes intricate gifts for her co-workers at Christmas. She has made me a t-shirt quilt and a scarf. She made the girls blankets. All these things take time and effort to make. And that is the only recent stuff I can think of.

Number 5: She treats me like an adult.

Number 4: She is honest in how she feels, but not opinionated or over bearing.

Number 3: She likes to hug.

Number 2: She knew when to be a parent and now knows she can be my friend. And is. One of my best.

And the Top Reason I like my Mom......

Number 1: She may not have supported my choices, but she has always supported me. She is my biggest fan!!!
