This Takes No Courage

With all of the angsty entries about 10 things you hate and three things you don't like and two and a half things you would change and 10 things you want to say and no comments allowed, and be brutally honest but don't say who you are, I just want to say...

who needs that??

Tell me 10 reasons you love me, or ten reasons you want to be me, or ten

mama... what don't i love about you? you're funny, you're beautiful, you're sweet, you're honest, you're caring, you're a wonderful wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, sister, and a wonderful friend to anyone you meet (except goats, but we won't go into that, because it wasn't your fault the goat didn't like you). you're like everyone's mother... the wendy lady. and that's why everyone loves you. a couple of people in my resource management class want to meet you because i've told stories about you. i love that you don't feel the need to give your children a real "sex talk." i love how you trust us not to look at porn on the internet. (i seriously find porn disgusting, by the way. ahbleh.) i love that you know everything in my life. i love that you WANT to know, and you don't mind me knowing that you know... like you're not trying to keep it a secret. i love how you don't mind me making plans two minutes in advance. i love how you can take care of ned while you're at work. i love how you can make a baby stop crying just by holding them close. well, not just for babies. if you hold anyone close to you, soon enough, they'll stop crying.

i remember when i was little, i used to pretend there was a string tied to my index finger, and the other end was tied to your index finger, so we were never separated completely, and if i needed you, you'd be right on the other end of the string. even without the string, you're still always there for me.

i love you, mommy.

I love you, Baby Mine.

Two things:

1. I didn't know about the string. I think that is neat, that you thought that up for yourself.

2. WHAT stories have you been telling in class???

And oh, yeah, I caught that about "taking care of Ned at work..." What's up your sleeve??

1. i didn't wanna lose you!
2. haha. i actually forgot. but i only told them to doug and sarah, and they wanna meet you. i really can't remember. it's nothing embarassing, i promise.

well, you see, mom, my arm is up my sleeve. i'm sorry. i forgot to tell you. :P
