Mothers

I love my mother...but she wears me out!!

My Mom works for a school district up the road from where we live. In fact, the town I grew up and live in are rivals with the district she works for. The first year they ever beat "us" in football they went out and had shirts made!!

Small town rivalry, Texas football, it's brutal...LOL!

Anyway, the district she works for, the Varsity Boys Basketball team won their district and today we drove an hour and an half to watch them play in their second play off game. Mom wanted to go and invited Amanda and I.

I remember riding with Mom when I was younger and not thinking much of it. Boy, am I glad I didn't notice or know any better.

The Good Lord, graciously got us there and back, Thank you God!!

She tails everyone...talk about drafting (nascar talk). Do you know how many bumpers I was up close and personal with? Her floor board now has permanent size 5 prints! She doesn't believe in brakes until the very LAST moment and she sight sees while going down the road.

Not just your normal sight seeing, she actually turns her body around to get a BETTER look!

Her philosophy is..."they've got brakes".

There was a small Toyota pickup in front of us turning right and didn't get out of her way fast enough, she cut it so close, she didn't hit him but I was holding onto the door and pushing on my brake. Mom thinks that is funny!!! She has a odd sense of humor!

Momma drives a big, white Ford F150 truck. She is a little, 5ft, red headed woman. Mom believes that since she has a BIG truck she has every right to drive like a maniac.

I have 3 younger sisters, I being the oldest. I call sister #1 and ask her if she ever rides with Mom??? She paused for a moment..."you don't have to say anymore". Oh Thanks Sis!! Then she starts laughing!!! I am doomed!!!

I have realized also that as you get older your bladder gets weaker...I really could have used a depends today. The last words out of the sisters mouth is..."Good Luck".

I love my Momma but she scares me to death!! And I think it cost a pretty penny to get airbags put back in!!!

If your ever in this part of Texas...beware of little, red headed women in BIG Ford trucks!!
