My mom-what a great woman. You ever remember things your mom said. Silly things that will always stick out in your mind. Things you never thought you would say. Even things that make you crazy when your young. I got to thinking things that she said now make me laugh. I can remember telling her "I would never say that to my child"! My husband seems to believe in Nurture vs. Nature. Lately as I have gotten older and thinking I so could never do that I find my self doing that. I also laugh because it makes me think that when I have kids that I will in fact take on the same mannerism of my mom.
I can remember as far back as 4. My mom told me I was going to have a brother. I slept beside her every night til he was born. On August 12, 1988 , The day he was born, I remember my mom waking me up and taking me to this old lady's house from the church. We lived in New Boston, TX at the time. The closest good hospital was 30 mins away in Texarcana, TX. I dont think I slept a wink when they dropped me off. The next morning I was swooped away by the Great Buffy and Papaw. I was told by my mom I was going to be the first to hold him after my mom and dad. As we drove to the hospital I remember telling Buffy we had to stop and buy my brother a toy. As a four year old all I knew was I wanted to get him something. I thought he was going to need a play toy. As I talked the whole way to the hospital telling my grandparents that I was going to hold my brother. When we arrived at the hospital I quickly came to realize that my brother was sick sick sick. As I watched everyone but me hold him I became mad and Jealous. I mean come on the nurses got to hold him. Oh well two weeks later he came home. HOW FREAKING AWESOME!!! The day he came home I held him first. It was a joyous day in my life. It was my new begining I knew things would be different.
As my brother and I grew older we never actually fought like sbilings. We were more like friends. I dont know if it was because mom made us write bible verses if we did wrong or that she made us sit in a corner and sing The Barney Song til' we meant it. (no seriously... And I think I wrote Eph 6:1 like a million times) I can remeber telling her at times "I would never in my life make my child do this." She would just laugh and say never say never. I never once thought about it til' I tought afterschool daycare at Morrison Heights and I made my sweet not so sweet boys write bible verses and sing the barney song when fighting. At that moment I knew I had Eaten my words.
I also remember good things about my mom telling me one night that I was going to have to kiss one too many frogs before I found my prince. I can remember my first heart break and she told me that I would have many come and go. At the time I thought no one understood how I felt. But she would tell me of how many guys she dated and funny stuff that happened to her. It always made me feel better. She always knows how to make me feel awesome when I'm down. That is why she is my best friend. She will never let me down, lie to me, or even judge me when im wrong. She still says I talk to much, but im a cosmotologist, I talk for a living!
