About a week ago, Dad called me while he was at work and asked me to write a couple thing for mother’s day. It was a phone call that went kind of like this...
Dad: "Hey, can you do a poem/story/write something/or whatever for church on Mother's day morning? A customer walked in...uhhh... gotta go...click"
So basically, he requested and just expected, not very sportsman like, not fair at all!
Wait. Wait. I shouldn't make it sound like I minded all that much; I didn't mind puting something together for Mom but for the church? That makes me very nervous. Well, not nervous, but maybe a little bit concerned (It's not the same thing). How do I write something to the "public of mothers" but make it personal to each. Why can't he just Google this?...that's not what he wants. Again, unsportsmanlike! So because of this I've stalled this project for a while, but the deadline is here. So, I'm going to try to please both sides of the argument and just make two little poem/story/write something/or whatevers. Something personally to mom and something public.
My favorite picture ever. Baby me and momma
Before you read poem/story/write
something/or whatever #1 Here's some background info for those of you who have
no ideas about my family. My little brother is Joseph. He is about to be
11...10 years younger than me. He's my favorite sibling (fine, no he's not)
Kasi- my younger sister. Kaitlyn- my older one. Married with the cutest babies ever in the wide world.
Poem/story/write something/or
whatever #1
Being Joseph Dugger’s mother means knowing how to listen very
carefully when he has something he wants to talk about, because Joseph Dugger’s
mother knows how important it is that he feels "heard." Being Joseph
Dugger’s mother means knowing to check the back of his drawer for his fancy
Sunday pants before assuming they are lost, because Joseph Dugger’s mother
knows that the back of his drawer is where he hides his fancy Sunday pants
hoping they will never be found. Being Joseph Dugger's mother means knowing
that he does not like any kind of ice cream except for chococlate chocolate
chocolate (chocolate), and making sure he doesn't consume so much of it that he
makes himself nauseated, because Joseph Dugger's mother knows that the boy has
undeniably no willpower where chocolate is concerned.
Being Kasi Dugger's mother is knowing that when she doesn't have
the appropriate amount of family/love time she doesn't function at all.Being
Kasi Dugger’s mother means knowing to keep bottled water in the house for her
because she knows that sink water is not near appropriate. Being Kasi Dugger’s
mother means knowing that when someone erases an American Idol off of DVR she
gets sad so Kasi Dugger’s mother makes sure to lock all of the American Idols
on DVR so nobody can erase them before she sees them. Being Kasi Dugger's
mother means knowing to let Kasi Dugger sleep before wasting energy
fixing her sour mood, because Kasi Dugger's mother knows that sleep is required
before she will submit to a good mood.
Being Kali Dugger’s mother
means knowing when she really misses home and knowing
that when she needs an extra hour to talk on the phone, SHE NEEDS THAT EXTRA
HOUR. Being Kali Dugger’s mother means knowing to stock up on at least a dozen
extra bananas when she visits because she l-o-v-e-s them. Being Kali Dugger's
mother means knowing she prefers skim milk over 2% so Kali Dugger's mother will
buy an extra half gallon of skim while everyone else drinks 2%.
Being Kaitlyn Day’s
mother means knowing when she needs a date night with her husband because
Kaitlyn Day's mother is always ready to be the babysitter on hand, at all
times. Being Kaitlyn Day's mother means knowing to save New York and Company
coupons she gets in the mail so she can buy her clothes when she needs them.
Being Kaitlyn Day's mother means knowing when it's appropriate to say "I
completely understand" when Kaitlyn Day calls on the phone just to
vent.
Anybody can be a mother but
it takes one special person to be Joseph, Kasi, Kali and Kaitlyn Dugger's mother.
Because being our mother means knowing us each specifically, and doing these
things for us because she loves us individually... very much.
Thank You from all of us...
Joseph, Kasi, Kali and Kaitlyn
We love you too
Happy Mothers Day!
My sweet family. I would estimate that this picture is about 14 or 15 years old. The only thing I HATE about it is Joseph isn't in it :(

Mothers are pretty
Mothers are nice
Mothers are really really sweet and pretty
Yep, that was it. That's what I sent my dad. I couldn't do it. I've been sitting here for an hour and I literally can NOT do it.
Ok, so goodnight. And happy mothers day to my mother only!
