Mom and Me

My Mom is here! Well, almost here. She's actually at my Gram's for the night and will be coming out in the morning to see KC's recital, along with the rest of my assorted family.

And even though I'm thirty, there's something odd about being in the same room with my Mom and Dad at the same time. Kind of like a chicken little thing fearing that the sky will fall at any given moment. Though to be honest, it's no where near what it was like when we were kids. Back then it always felt like I was a rubber band snapping back and forth, changing myself to match the parent I was with. And I guess in a way that hasn't changed much at all. I still try to make my Mother proud and wave my hands in the air to get my Father's attention.

With my Mom so close, it's hard to contain myself from feeling a thousand different emotions. On one hand, a major load of stress trying to get my house as close to perfect as possible and on the other hand, absolute joy to be able to spend time with my Mom. Something that has been very hard to do when she's lived in North Carolina these past 9 years ... But the worst emotion, is the one I get when I realize just how short a visit this one is going to be. Goodbyes are not my forte. Not even close. And though some might consider me a baby, I came to the conclusion a long time ago, that I'd never be too old to want my Mommy around more often than not.

These next four days are going to fly by fast. So fast, that I doubt I'll be near my computer long enough to think of a single word to say, let alone post. So once again, you're going to have to miss me. My ego always needs a stroke.
