She Calls Me Mom

Eighteen years ago today, I became the mother of a daughter.

18 -- such a wonderful age, and she is a wonderful daughter. Through the years, we have gone on field trips, gotten lost in my car on purpose, volunteered together at GRACE then the library and also at church, learned together, cried together, and frequently laughed together.

Another thing we do a LOT is we match clothes -- totally unintentionally. She will come downstairs and we look at each other and we are both wearing jeans and red shirts; or jeans and our OSU shirts, or things like that!

She is a student! She loves learning. She teaches herself things that interest her. She recently became interested in poetry and read many of the great poets books.

She is a knitter! I am fortunate to be the beneficiary of a couple purses and a pillow. (She is also a yarn snob)

She is a cat lover!

She is a smart girl! (I am not just saying that because I am her mother, others say it too)

She is beautiful -- both inside and out!

She is a blessing to me.

Happy 18th Birthday Kathryn

Friday morning ramblings

I like Friday mornings because I don't have to be anywhere.

Twinkie is a sun cat.

I need to work on 2 scrapbooks and I'm blogging instead.

"The Big Bang Theory" always makes me laugh.

I try not to worry -- I try to "wonder" instead.

Right now I'm "wondering" about the economy, Kev getting into grad school, me getting a full time job, and other issues.

Went to a funeral this week (friend's mom) -- made me grateful that my mom and m-i-l are still here; but also grateful that we are all Christian so a funeral isn't goodbye forever.

I have to buy a new bunko bunny because my dog, Angel, thought it was one of her babies and for some reason, she doesn't like her babies to have plastic eyes!

I can use my winnings from Bunko last Tuesday to buy the new bunny.

Gotta work on scrapbooks.
