According to Mom...

according to my mother i am... (or should)
very structured
have self control (what i don't eat)
a good cook
that cooking comes easy
i should feed my dog whatever i eat
should feed the birds at restaurants
not go to bed so early
i should get my own ice cream at baskin robbins (not share with matt)
let my family eat more at dinner including dessert

my mother and i are very different, she is not sure where i came from. she is healthy as a horse, pretty adventuresome and unconventional. i know i am weird and have idiosyncricies (sp?)
but i don't care, i like my house clean and organized, my dog to eat dog food and to go to bed when i am tired which is early, can't help it! my kids are a good mix of me and matt of anal behavior and adventure! that's a good mix right? have fun and a clean room :)
are you like your mother, father or the black sheep?

I say I'm too much like my mom AND dad. Like my mom I am a people pleaser and always put a smile on my face. Like my dad, I am a procrastinator and have a bad habit of letting sarcastic comments slip from my mouth. oops..I probably said too much!

i don't want to admit it, but i guess i am like my parents in some ways. i too am a people pleaser like my mom and i'm not too good with words. that's what happenes when my mom's f.o.b. and i get my book smarts from my dad. you probably wouldn't know it from having a conversation with me, but i am pretty smart. But the big difference between my parents and i is how i choose to raise my kids.
