my mom

I am sorry I can not give credit where credit is due, I am tired and can't remember what blog I saw this on. I do know that it was Thursday night that I saw it. But anyway, a blog had a list of questions that you were supposed to ask your kids about yourself as their mom and then post their funny answers.

Well, my family has had an interesting week, to say the least, and so I changed it up a bit and answered the questions about my own mom instead.

1. What is something mom always says to you?
I love you, oh and Thank you

2. What makes mom happy?
Hugs from her grand-daughters

3. What makes mom sad?
Being sick, seeing someone else suffering

4. How does your mom make you laugh?
We make each other laugh just because we do…we do a lot of “stupid” things and end up laughing at ourselves.

5. What was your mom like as a child?
I think my mom was strong child with a will to be reckoned with, she was a fighter and a winner, she was beautiful and kind, timid and outgoing, yearning wanting and often not getting – she was amazing.

6. How old is your mom?
Undisclosed

7. How tall is your mom?
Same height as me!

Enjoy her “me time”, organize, quilt, do things for other people

16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
I have to name two – She Loves Eeyore so she might want to be Eeyore but I would say she is honestly a lot more like Big Bird – always helping, doing and looking out for those around her.

McDonalds Drive through for a Diet Coke, or maybe it is Hawaii.
