She get it from her momma

Disclaimer: corny, sentimental blog to come. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Do you have those people in your life that every time you sit down and talk to them you just know it's going to be a darn good conversation? No matter what you're talking about, you just know it's good people and good conversation. I have quite a few of these people, but specifically today I was sitting poolside at Auntie K's chatting it up with 1 of them. KB and I got on the topic of our mothers. Basically, what we were discussing was that our mothers are phenomenal, and they have given us so much to be thankful for. The point of our convo was also the fact that anytime we start to complain about some mundane problem we have, we try to remember all of the trials our madres have lived through. Don't get me wrong. I know most girls think their moms are the best and yada yada, but seriously my mom really is. I would never divulge all of my mom's personal facts via internet, but take my word for it: the lady is 1 tough cookie. She is by far the most selfless person I know. She lives for her kids, her family, and doing for others. I can only hope to be half the woman she is. I also believe that she is who she is because of all of the tragic happenings of her life. I am much weaker than her because she has sheltered me from anything even close to all that she has overcome. She still leaves me little "I love you" notes all over my house for me. She cooks all my friends' favorite dishes for them at all hours of the night and day. Examples: fudge, (Ms. Hawaii, Pugh, Cr) chocolate gravy, (BFF-J, Pugh, KP) chocolate oatmeal cookies, (Pugh and Fal) and her sweet tea is basically famous. Even if it does put you in a diabetic coma. Along with my Auntie K, my mom has taught me what unconditional love is. Not just unconditional love for me (they have to love me) but for everyone regardless of their flaws. Let's just go ahead and say it: Betty Jo is the shit. And yes, she is honored to know that her potty mouth daughter describes her this way :) Okay, I'm done.
