This week’s Head or Tails is about Mother’s. So what better way than for me to tell you a little bit about my Mother.

This is my Mom w/ Katie on Dec 28, 2005
It’s because of my Mom that I wanted to always be a stay at home mom. When I think of my childhood I do think of all the fun times I had playing in the gullies and corn fields with my sister and neighbor, but I also think of my Mother.
She was the Mom would would read me Barney Beagle 100 times in a row because I Iiked it.
She was the Mom who would let you choose whatever kind (shape) of birthday cake you would want and would try her best to make it for you.
She was the mom that always would get up early to make sure I was up and moving around so I wouldn’t be late for school. I can still hear her yell ”Jen.. Time to wake up” in that tune she would do it in.
She was the Mom who would walk you to do school bus stop in the morning to make sure all the kids in the neighborhood got on safe and If it was raining she would drive you to the stop instead and ask the other kids if they wanted to get in the car so they wouldn’t be to drenched.
She was the Mom that when you would get home from school the house would be always clean, sometimes cookies on the counter (I do remember that once at least) or some kind of snack, and she would always ask how your day went. Even though most of the times my response was.. ok, she would always ask because she cared.
She was the Mom that said it would be Ok for me to try out for soccer my Freshman year in High School on one condition… I had to wear a helmet because she didn’t want me to hurt my head when I headed the ball. ;) Needless to say she still let me try out even though I told her I wasn’t going to wear no helmet! (I made the team too!!)
She was the mom that went to every band concert, basketball game, football game (I was in Marching band), Band competition and soccer game Even in the snow, rain, heat she would be there chearing me on.
She was and still is the Mom that will sacrifice something she wants if someone else in the family wants/needs something.
She is the Mom that I call at least 5 times a day to just chit chat.
She is the Mom that I LOVE to go shopping & garage saling with. Needless to say we have had quite a few chuckles at some of those sales.
She is the Mom that will drop everything if someone needs something.
She is the Mom that makes the best Sunday dinners! (We all go over there every Sunday for dinner)
I know there are so many more things that make her the best mom in my eyes!! The only problem is she was and is such a great mom.. I feel like I’ll have hard time filling those shoes. If I can even be half the Mom she is, I’ll be doing good!
I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
