To all those of you who are mummies, mums-to-be and one-day-mummies, THANK YOU!!!
Moms are awesome. (But mine's the awesomest.)

Here is an ode to my mom:

Dear mommy
THANK YOU.

for kissing my boo-boos when I was little, but making me get up and keep going.

for not killing half the douchebags I was stupid enough to bring home over the years.

for driving me to the hospital every time I had a ridiculous asthma attack in grade school.

for letting me dye my hair and pick my own clothes from day one to find my own style.

for not strangling me on a daily basis my entire teenage years.

for supporting me in all my crazy endeavors, nomatter how outrageous.

for liking cool music and keeping all your old records.

for sharing your car with me, despite my tendency to have bad luck with it.

for telling me I am beautiful and loved.

for reminding me to take my meds, even when it gets annoying.

for taking care of me when I am sick.

for telling me that "the first time's not always all that great" when I wanted to wait til marriage.

for the good genes and great legs.

for telling me about your life and your friends and sharing with me every day.

for teaching me to cook, bake and sew.

for always being stylish and well dressed and never one of those embarassing moms in jogging suits and mom-jeans.

for being the person I want to become.

for loving my friends.

for doing my laundry :/

for putting me from crib to waterbed at 2 years old.

for rocking a mullet in the 80s.

for letting me hog the remote.

for still letting me cry in your arms, even at 22.

for putting up with me when... well, for putting up with me.

for asking how my day was and listening.

for all the leftovers.

for never trying to make me into something I am not.

for always laughing at my jokes, and making some pretty hilarious ones yourself.

for saying prayers with me before bed when I was a little girl.

for not turning in to your mother.

for never comparing me to my married, phd-getting sister.

for being a dog person.

for watching Gilmore Girls with me for 6 years, and now the Hills.

for not forcing me to eat meat when I told you I didn't want to anymore when I was 8.

for all the bus fare.

for telling me it will all be alright.

for being as crazy as me.

for ending every phone call and every walk out the door with "love you"

for being my best friend.

for getting a 'bro tatt' with me at 52.

for being the best mom in the world.

I love my mommy
