Mother

I have a guest writer with me today.  She is no one new to you, most of you know her quite well; it’s Lisa.  Today, we want to recognize the woman that brought us into this world.  We cannot begin to describe the impact she has had on our lives, just that we are blessed.  Our mother has taught us so many life lessons along with other mottos to live by.  Here are the ones that have stuck with us the most, the ones that Lisa and I can probably say without thinking anything of it:

·         Always bring a jacket – you just never know where you will get cold

·         It’s never too early for the Christmas lights

·         I will catch you if you fall

·         Don’t forget the list on the kitchen table

·         She can make it cheaper than you can buy it

·         Don’t talk with your mouth full

·         Your shoes can never be too much color

·         Chevy’s nachos always come after a long day of shopping

·         Look both ways before you cross the street

·         A bathroom should have stripes; it just should

·         “Did you turn everything off?”

·         Hand sanitizer should be in your purse and your car

·         Baseball games include a moose and garlic fries

·         If you finish the yard work before the 4^th of July, you don’t have to do it anymore

·         You should learn how to stuff a turkey from your mom

·         Keep your clothes off your floor

·         A little paint can go a long way

·         Always wash your hands before dinner

·         I hope you marry someone just like your father

·         That’s what family is for

This morning at church our pastor had all the women recite this nursery rhyme, to which I am sure you will read in the same sing-song style that is the only way a nursery rhyme can be said.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses
And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

You know the problem with this?  There are no women involved!  Humpty’s mom could have put him back together. 

Thanks mom for always putting us back together when we fall apart.  We would not be the girls we are today wtihout your love and support.

We love you bunches!

XOXO

Also, thank you to the women, whether mothers or not, but women other than our own mother who have impacted our lives; grandmas, family friends, friends, hair-stylists, mothers of children we baby-sit; the list could go on and on.  You have also touched our lives.  Thank you!
