Mom

My mom is so cool! We usually try to get together once a week because I want her to know her grandchildren and I want to hang out with her too. We would usually go to the local Starbucks or IHOP. Anyway, this week, I wasn't able to because I was too busy. So, when she called one morning and I told her that I wasn't going to be able to hang out with her, instead of saying "See you next week" like she normally would, she asked me, "what do you want from IHOP?" and even better, "what do the kids want?"

Wow! What an unexpected blessing. She knew exactly what I wanted and had the eggs cooked just how I like it. It's funny how even though I have kids of my own, that she still takes care of me ...AND my kids in various ways! I will say it again, my mom is the coolest!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Learning to appreciate my mom, despite my terrible, teen years.
