gives me a little heh too, sorry Venus. your mom sounds awesome. but i know how moms can get annoying. my mother has a shopping problem, like shopping at dollar tree and walmart and buy cheap crap that breaks in a day, more crap than we need in this overloaded unorganized house. but then she's cute how she loves the chickens and goes out to their coop and gives them watermelon and talks to them. and she is almost always kind and patient and calm and never yells, i'm not like that, more like my dad that way. i really don't want to be like her in many ways. but in other ways i try to be like her and just won't ever cuz that's not who i am.
