The Mothership is landing!

My Mommy is coming to see us!!!

And we are so very excited. I mean, how can you not be. Have you ever met my mom? She's three sheets crazy but we love her because that means there is a reason why we are, and we therefore aren't alone.

It's all about excuses for our odd behavior.


While she is here we have big huge gigantic plans.

Okay so maybe not that huge but we're definitely going to do the things that we love to do together. That means good food, some fun sights, shopping and movies. In no particular order.

In fact, I think if you asked any one of us, us being bigskystarlet, my mom, or myself, we would probably put them in a completely different order. And that is definitely what makes us so awesome. Guarantee, there will be lots of laughing and we'll definitely make my mom say, "OH, you girls" quite a few times, but for us all it's definitely going to be one of our favorite times this year.

I don't really know what it is, but for myself definitely, and I could probably say for my sister too, my mom has some sort of quality that always levels us out. I mean, she's our mom, and maybe that's just because it's her genetic make-up to make sure we are happy and doing well, but our mom really does that for us.

See, my mom is the woman who taught us both to cook, who made me understand the importance of matching my shoes to my dress, who helped me appreciate completely terrible but completely enjoyable action movies, and still manages to be considered sweet and lovely, and cuss like a sailor.

I think it's because whenever my mom cusses she laughs like she's embarrassed.

Since I moved in with my sister we reminisce a lot. And in a good way because we had a damn good childhood, but 95% of the stories about my mom relate in some way to how one of us is doing something exactly like her. I can't even say if one of us does it more. Hands down I have more of my mom's mannerisms, and I attribute that to the fact that I got to be around her more after she came out of the marriage to my dad, and I saw for the first time who she really was, which was soooo awesome. But my sister is definitely more like her. As in she treats situations with the same attitudes, and feelings.

Either way I hope she's proud of us, and that we're going to do her proud in the future.

Until then, getting to hear the stories of her life like the time recently when she thought she might have actually killed Bambi, and looking forward to her reactions to how my sister and I have changed since she last saw us including trying to imitate exactly what she will say in response to something, I get more and more excited about the upcoming visit and what it means to us as a family.

I know we're all getting older and I know we don't always get to talk all the time. But dammit if I don't love those girls and look forward to the three of us spending time together making Brian roll his eyes, and pray for help. (Knowing inside he's enjoying himself, and barely waiting to tell Travis about our silliness)

She's going to be here at the beginning of May, so I have lots of time to get more excited, but I figured I would fill you all in now, since I have the feeling to blog...

Lovies two times today!
