Memories......

Well now that we are in the month of February. You can really tell that I love to get on here and write everything going on in my life...lol...I know I need to keep going with this because it kind of is a journal entry.

We have been really busy with work and family life. We are getting ready to celebrate my moms 60th Birthday!!!! I'm so grateful to her for all she does for me and my family. Time just flys. One of my fondest memories with my mom. Growing up we didn't have alot but we wouldn't have known back then. When I was about years old we went to the laundry mat to wash our clothes. Towards the end I asked my mom if I could have 50 cents to buy a candy she said yes. I knew it was probably the last of the handful of coins she had to wash and dry clothes. When I went and put my money in, the snickers fell down and so did the one behind it. I thought it was my lucky day. I put one in my pocket and opened the other. I sat next to my mom and ate it. We got our clothes together and headed out to the car,in the front seat and pulled out the other one and started to eat it. My mom got in and she started to back out. She looked over at me and said where did you get that and I told her what had happened. She pulled right back in and looked at me and said you can't do that, that's not honest. We looked everywhere in the car for 50 cents, we found it in dimes, nickles and pennies and she put it in my hand and said go inside and tell the lady you are sorry. I learned that you have to be honest in all things, and in all that you do. She has taught me so much and I am eternally grateful for her life. She is going to have a blast on her birthday! Yes, we her 10 monkeys put our heads together and know what dad would want to do on her birthday. She deserves the very best from all of us. She told me when she came here to America with Dad she always wanted to buy those green plastic plants, but there was never enough money and now she probably can own a store that sales those green plastic plants...lol... :)
