Happy Mother's Day

My mom...

She put up with...
my diaper phase,
my tomboy phase,
my gymnastic phase,
my Sandi Patti phase,
my awkward phase,
my country music and cowboy boots phase,
my boy-crazy phase,
my Pom-Pon phase,
my dance phase,
my paint the bedroom furniture black with colored handprints phase,
my grunge phase,
my overalls phase,
my acne phase
my no make-up phase,(yes, I think I combined the phase above with this one, Yikes!)
my angry phase,
my know-it-all phase (okay, maybe not a phase:-),
my rebellious phase,
my "I hate church" phase,
my losing weight phase,
my gaining weight phase,
my losing weight again phase,
my wedding planning Bridezilla phase,
and my now grown adult, no-more-phases phase.

Here's to you, Mom....and all the other moms I know and love who put up with phases: Jana, Shannon, Crazy Carol, Grandma Fearing, Aunt Jill, Aunt Cheri, Jen, Stacey, Stephanie, Kelly, Kristin, Jill, Brooke, Alisa and Chris...

Happy Mother's Day!
