I know Mother's Day was yesterday, BUT, today I got to work out with my Momma! So I'm gonna talk about her :) Today was one of those i.cant.get.up Mondays. I was dog sitting at the farm last night 'cause my folks were out of town. This morning the dog tried to arouse me, the alarm tried to arouse me (5 times), and the dog tried some more. I was in that i'm-awake-but-don't-wanna-move state. And then a light bulb went off in my head that flashed a neon sign saying Work From Home Today! Psssh, totally! Five minutes 'til work time I rolled out of bed, started the coffee pot and plugged in my computer. And I kid you not, before I knew it, it was 5:00. My days in the office do.not.go.like.that. It was awesome.
Shortly before 5:00, my momma and my poppa came rolling in. I said, "Momma, before I have to go, come work out with me." And she said O.K.! My mom got through a KILLER work out today and I am sooooo proud of her. We got super sweaty with Jillian Michaels and kicked butt. My mom, who is not a real athletic type, pushed and pushed and pushed and did Soooo awesome!
You know those people in love that say they grow more and more in love each and every day, even when they're 75 years old? At the age of 29, I become more enamored with my mother every day. Every single day I see just how strong my mother is a little bit more. Heaven knows that my family has seen many trials. But over the past two months, we have been through the worst, longest-extending trial that I in my 29 years recall or could imagine my family going through. And y'all, my mother, my wonderful - amazing - strong - God fearing - brilliant - talented - loving mother, has handled it with more grace than I knew existed in this world. If I had the strength of heart, mind and soul that my mother has in just one of her pinky fingers, I would be blessed beyond measure. Momma teach me. Teach me to love like you do, to be as strong as you and to be as God-fearing and graceful as you. I may not have been willing to learn so much when I was that sweet, irresistible age of 14-now, but I'm ready. I'm gonna watch and learn. I've already learned so much.
Now go hug your Momma!
Three weeks 'til Iron Nut!!!! Ack!!
