Happy Birthday Mom

It was pointed out to me that i've been portraying mom is rather a bad light, and that she has no redeeming qualities. i'd like to fix that point, for she does have her good points as well. and, since its her birthday today, what better day to do it?

mom's good qualities
-she makes excellent meals.
-she keeps us healthy, with her excellent meals
-Dr. Mom--she usually knows the cure to most anything ailing us
-been very involved in our schooling--kinda (i might add some clarifications to this later)
-she got me started on doing extractions for familysearchindexing.org
-she helps out with reading at Rachel's elementary
-encourages me to go to YSA events (i went to one last night, but i dont know if i'll go again in the future, i felt really old and out of place.)
-helped me to find a job
-makes sure that the house is clean (or that i clean it, when it needs to be cleaned)


overall, she really is a great lady, she just isnt the type of person that i want to be, and, sadly, she isnt really a person that i can get along with really really well. but, we all love her for who she is. Happy Birthday Mom!
