So a few days ago I had a birthday...
My family made on over me a lot that day.
(When I said "made on over me" at work, a co-worker asked me to define it.
Made on over me - to make a big deal out of, to celebrate a person)
The dog wants my cake...
He ain't gettin' it.
(Ain't - is not)
She ort to smile
(Ort - should)
My Gift Before My Gift After
I have the BEST family.
Last night Chuck was whipping something secret up until the wee hours.
This morning he put it in the oven and delivered it to the coffee table piping hot.
The whole platter.
It was a Mother's Day Quiche.
Then Chuck and Charley cooled me with paper fans while I ate, and gave me several cards full of love. Charley even danced me a dance and gave me one of those pieces of paper that mean so much....
And when I asked that sweet little thing to go upstairs and get my book because it was Mother's Day she replied, "Uggggg. That's too much about you this week."
Then she stomped off to retrieve the book.
Happy, happy, day.
I spent much of the rest of the day playing patty cake in the grass, collecting ladybugs, tending to a baby snapping turtle, dumping her out of the wheelbarrow, and scrubbing her grass stained knees and dirt covered feet in the bath.
Mothering is good, good stuff.
And having a mother is a good, good, thing too.
Happy Mother's Day to my Mama!
I love you SO much.
Thank you Hayley. I love Charley's letter. She's right. Your heart is beautiful. You're a much better mom than I was. I regret not getting you an English tutor. Happy Mother's Day to the best mom ever!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo cute. What a great Mom's Day and birthday you had. You are a spoiled wo-man. They are good to you. I like the definition of southern words section of this post. Very good.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! Glad you had a great MD and BD:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day Hayley! You're a very lucky woman, and you do have a wonderful family. (Love the southern terms btw. We have a few midwestern sayings ourselves. ;) )
