Mom's Birthday..

Our family always looks forward to Mom's birthday.. it's always celebrated at Outback! It's our family favorite! The steak and swordfish are definately our top picks.. I think I would rate it up their with Phillips Seafood Buffet.. and that says alot. Anyways, despite Patrick having a rough night with the Eagles losing one of their key players, we had a wonderful evening full of good company and fun conversation. The adults had their table and the kids theirs. Next time I think we may even hire a babysitter to tag along.. Dad had to parade all 4 of the grandkids around the restauant a few times. Needless to say, the were the talk of the restaurant. One of the things our family does as a birthday ritual is talk about memories and feelings about the birthday girl so.. some things about my Mom..

*I can call my Mom anytime to complain.. as I did this evening!
*One evening after a night class about 11ish, I decided to go to WalMart to get groceries while the kids were asleep.. I guess Michael didn't remember me telling him this so he proceeds to call my Mom and Sister. In a panic, they both go out in the middle of the night to search for me. Mom was crying to hear I was alive when I made it home.. sorry, I felt so bad for this one!
* Mom always treated us kids equally.. even though I was quite a pain in the butt.
*My Mom was there in labor and delivery with both girls and really was great support for both Michael and I.
*Mom comes to my house early in the morning on her day off just to watch A and I so that I can go to school.
*My Mom is one of my best friends-I love you Mom!
