Time Capsule #3...my mom.

Yes, we are STILL going back in time.  Now, it is January10th, my mom's birthday.  There are so many reasons why I love my mom...she is definitely one of my best friends and I'm so thankful for her.  My only complaint is that I just don't get to see her as much as I would like....which is not a bad reason to complain, I don't think.  She has taught me so much.  Here are just a few reasons why I think she is just so great....

She is an incredibly hard worker.

She loves much.

She is an amazing nurse...and I know this, because if we ever got a headache we had to talk her out of taking us to get an MRI to rule out a brain tumor :)

She is a walking pharmacy and knows how to dish out the right drugs...if it wasn't for her having Lortab and Phenergen on hand, we would have had to make a trip to the ER after I had Eva because I had a migraine so bad, I couldn't even lie down and vomited most of the night.  Of course she held my hair back and the bucket for me as I nursed Eva at the same time. I love that I can be my ugly self with her and she loves me just the same. 

She NEVER cares what my house looks like or how disorganized I am.

She is SO flexible and she will go out of her way for others...and I mean, WAY out of her way. 

She has forever wanted a dozen roses delivered to her, not that anyone would know that :) So...I surprised her on her birthday and got her 2 dozen roses (the ones on the right...my dad got her the ones on the left.)

 I hope your birthday was a good one, mom. Wishing you SO many more. Love you lots.

My forever shopping buddy...

Edyn, Eva and I went shopping on Wednesday and here is a bit of our dressing room conversation...

Edyn: "But Mommy.... I REALLY want you to get these pretty pink shorts."
Me: "Well, Edyn, I don't think those will even cover my butt."

PAUSE...PAUSE....Edyn thinking REALLY hard.

Edyn: "Well....you have a pretty good butt, mom."

We stopped for ice cream on our way home.

My new favorite song...

...that I can COMPLETELY relate to and I know many of you can too.

LOVE this.

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I'm running behind
Whoa

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

So break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world
Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

Oh Oh Oh Oh
This is the stuff You use
