mommy and me

I woke up this morning to my mom knocking on my door (finally, after 4 years of being out of the house its taken a long time for her to learn to knock again...) asking me if I wanted to go out with her. At first I couldnt be bothered to get out of bed to follow momma around the mall so I politely declined. I layed there for a few minutes and wondered why... why would i prefer to lay in bed all day (much like yesterday) then spend some time with my mom?

I'm one of those lucky females. My mother and I have an amazing relationship. We've had our rough patches (dont all mothers and daughters?) but I know that I can tell her anything if need be. She might not want to hear it, but she will sit there and listen and try and give me advice or do her best to make me feel better. I remember in high school my best friend would always say "You told your mom that?" and my boyfriends always get annoyed when I tell my mom things that they don't believe I should, but shes my best friend.

So i got out of bed, put myself together, and hung out with momma bear today. We didnt do anything exciting, returned some stuff she got at Christmas that didn't fit, picked up some lululemon pants she was getting hemmed, dropped something off at my Mornings, basically just running errands. But I wouldn't want to do anything else today.

My mom is an amazing person and I am so glad to have her in my life. I always feel bad when woman don't have good relationships with their mothers because sometimes i think they don't know what they are missing out on...or that their MOTHERS don't know what they are missing out on.
