Ode to Mom

\
I’ve been sitting here trying to think of what story I should share about my mother. Should I tell everyone about the time she made me stay in the bathtub because I had lice while she went to the store? Maybe the story about how she let me suffocate on the couch. Or maybe I could share my angst about not being named after a Disney princess. I would have made a sweet Pocahontas for the record.
\

\
But then I thought that there’s really not much “story” to go with those memories. They’re pretty self explanatory and really wouldn’t warrant an entire post. Not that you’re not worth it, Mom. You are. But I didn’t want the tribute post to seem like “fluff” or not very Jenn like. So in keeping with my simple and awesome lifestyle, I only have four words that could sum up this day:
\

Super F-word Yeah Mom.

Thanks for popping me out of you 24 years ago.

Haha, I got lice at school when I was little, too. I HATED sitting in the tub for what seemed like FOREVER while the water got cold and I had the shampoo stuff on my head. Moms deal with so much stuff little kids go through.

How how sweet! I didn’t even get a chance to write something for Mother’s Day. I was busy taking care of a Great Dane with diarrhea.
