The Adventures of Molly Hobbit: Happy Mother's Day

          It's Mother's day, the day everyone should tell their beauty-full (yes, I know it’s spelled beautiful, but I prefer this spelling ;-).) mothers how much they appreciate them. Now, I'm sure most of you can agree with me that mother's day should be everyday, here are some reasons why I love my mom, and why mom's in general win at life.

          I'm pretty sure my mom isn't fully human, and I don't mean that in a creepy or bad way. This woman has worked 12-14 hour (usually graveyard (night) shifts for as long as I can remember, and still found the time and energy to raise 5 kids. And I can’t speak for my brother’s but I had a pretty a happy, fun packed childhood, and she took me to almost all my medical appointments (small shout-out to my other super parent for having her back, love you dad 😉💕). Oh, did I forget to mention she home schooled all of us as well? She can somehow survive on maybe 5 hours of sleep...I can barely function with 9! Like I said, superwoman.
          If you've ever hung around my mom and I at the same time, you've probably heard us make an odd sound, face, or unrelated comment and burst out laughing. I'm pretty sure her cackle is my favorite sound in the world, so I do everything within my comical powers to make her laugh, which includes silly little things that don't even make sense to us half the time; but, it makes her laugh, so I'm not planning on giving them up anytime soon.
           I got my permit in January (2018), and driving with my mom has been a plethora of emotions. Side note: Bless every single person/parent that has lived through teaching someone to drive. The first few weeks were not easy for either of us, but I think she handled her “freaking out” moments pretty well.

           I was talking with my pastor about how amazing mom’s are, and I was truly inspired by how much my mom (and probably most other moms) does; takes care of me when I’m sick, buys me everything she can afford (within limits), the laundry and dishes, and so much more I probably don’t even know about.
   I also mentioned that single moms are a whole other story. They do the work of both parents, which, I can't even fathom. Good job you strong, beautiful women who may have worked multiple jobs, take your child(ren) to every event and doctor appointment, and being able to fill both roles 👍👍.

          One of my favorite memories with my mom was my 13th birthday. Her and I took a trip down to Depot Bay and stayed in a tiny, tiny house called Cottage Breeze, we took walks on the beach, watched Golden Girls and laughed the entire weekend. It may not seem like much, but at the time our family had just moved, and was going through a bit of a rough patch. So being able to get away with my mom, and just laugh and goof off was the best thing of that year.

          What’s your favorite memory involving you mom? Or one of the things you love most about her?
