Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my mom's birthday. She's not very old, so she has to be enjoying it. I didn't get her anything, not yet anyways. The plan was to make something with my pottery stuff, but with work, I haven't felt like doing anything when I get home. Don't worry mom, I haven't forgotten about you. She always has such a nice blog entry for all of her kids birthdays, and talks about the day we were born, well I wasn't there the day she was born, and since I was too young to remember the first day I met her, I'll tell you about the ealiest memory I have of her. I think she had run to the library and left all 6 of us kids at home for a couple of hours. We had in one of the bedrooms a big bed and bunk beds. We were jumping from the top of the bunks to the big bed across the room. I was only 2, so I'm not sure how I even go up there. Well I missed the bed and hit my head on the metal box spring frame. I remember the cops showing up and the fire truck, and the drunk neighbor lady across the street who held me on the front porch until mom got home. What I remember of mom, is her and grandma Annie at the hospital telling me I was ok while they stitched my head up. It was exciting enough that I remember the incident even though it was so long ago. So mom, thats the earliest memory I have of you, don't you wish you would have just let me cry when I was a baby and you were so tired? I never would have remembered! Thanks for being so good to us kids!
