Happy Mother's Day


Yes, to each and all, happy Mother's Day. I do hope you all have a special way of showing Mom just how much she means to you...hey, at the very least, call her and tell her you love her and if you forgot to mail her a card, well, you're screwed, so you'd best call her!!!

Scorpio Mom [this be me...]

The most important quality of a scorpion mother is that she is the best friend of her children. She always helps her children to confide their thoughts and problems in her. She's all in one-she's your mom; she's your best friend, your teacher, your role model and your guardian angel! This Mother's Day is the ideal time to tell her that she is indeed a great person. This is the time to honor her with a calm, pleasant and cozy dinner with the closest members of the family. This is also the ideal time to appreciate her about being a multifaceted woman.

My Mother Taught Me:

  • To Value A Job Well Done"If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning."
  • Time Travel "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"
  • Logic"Because I said so, that's why."
  • Foresight "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."
  • Irony"Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about."
  • Osmosis "Shut your mouth and eat your supper."
  • Stamina "You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone."
  • Weather "This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it."
  • Hypocrisy "If I told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!"
  • Circle Of Life "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."
  • Behavior Modification "Stop acting like your father!"
  • Envy "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."
  • Anticipation "Just wait until we get home."
  • Receiving "You are going to get it when you get home!"
  • Medical Science "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way."
  • How To Become An Adult "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."
  • Genetics "You're just like your father."
  • Wisdom "When you get to be my age, you'll understand."
  • Justice "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you"

How many remember making Kleenex flowers (corsages) for Mom to wear to church on Mother's day? Me too, my mom would wear each one proudly, as each kid made her a corsage -- she didn't care that other women had on store bought corsages, she was happy with the Kleenex. Rest in peace Mom, we love and miss you and wherever you are HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
