There are very few people in this world who truly "get me". I don't mean "like me". I like to think that my friends like me, my husband, perhaps even strangers I've chatted with in the check-out lane at Wal-Mart found me likable (perhaps). But many people who like me don't always "get me". They wonder why I must talk a mile a minute, why I must make up silly nonsense songs, why my canned goods must go before frozen items on the check-out conveyer belt, and why I find it necessary to throw my banana peel at someone when I am finished with my banana. My mom, however, doesn't wonder at any of these things, because she really, truly gets me.
My mom and I often think the same thoughts- we know cause then we say them out loud and realize this. We like the same movies, foods, clothing, etc. On the rare occasion when we make fun of others, we make fun of the same things. (I mean like commercials and things, not real people. Okay, sometimes real people, but they totally had it coming!) She also makes up silly nonsense songs, is capable of talking a lot, and has weird quirks like mine (cleaning off your "space" in restaurants, you know what I'm talking about Mom!) In short, she is the pod to my pea. :) And that is why I am excited for tomorrow, for we have plans. Our plans include leaving my two adorable but hard to take anywhere children home with my husband, eating our favorite soups at our favorite restaurant, Olive Garden, getting pedicures, going earring shopping (I forgot to tell you that Mom but I need some earrings because your granddaughter lost or broke ALL of mine), then renting movies, ordering pizzas from Sam and Louie's and spending the rest of the day/evening in our pjs watching chick flicks and eating pizza and other tasty and not good for you treats. And we decided that she MUST sleep over to culminate the day even though she lives only 6 blocks away. And to top it all off the weather looks like it is going to be beautiful! Hooray!
What are your weekend plans?
