Mamasita Part Tres

Just got off the phone with Mom.
Miss her already.
My Dad and brother are glad to have her back though.

I got scolded a little for spilling the beans on some of our craziness on Saturday to my Dad.
The best way to describe Saturday :
Siblings gone wild. My Mom comes from a family of 11 and about half were at my uncle's. We all were seated in a circle and would get up solely for food and beverages. Lots of beverages. Lots of homemade wine, gin and tonics, and beer. I attempted to call my friend Beth and was laughing so hard I could barely talk. The stories they tell when they are together are funny anyway but add alcohol - they should have a show. I would watch it. :)

The part I didn't share w/my Dad - was my Mom taking me around my aunt's house which was her family's as a teenager and telling me about the dreams she had as a kid. Taking me to the old stone barn where she met her first love and holding my hand the whole time. Showing me the window she used to look out of, the creek she used to play in. Telling me how proud she is of me. She never tells me that stuff and she told me all weekend, I am still a little shocked by it all. It was beyond special and its ours. Now yours. I only hope when I have kids I can be this cool and wonderful and amazing.

I think my Dad was a little jealous - because of his job we just don't get to spend much time together. We barely are able to talk on the phone. When I was a kid he was it as far as I was concerned. Now I have that relationship w/my Mom. Girl can't help it she rules.
