We spent a really great weekend with my parents and sister's family in San Diego. It was the first time I'd been with my mom on Mother's Day in 6 years! We had such a lovely time - Sea World, beach day, delicious Mother's Day brunch, great mom-daughter advice chats...everything a weekend with Mom should be.
On our way home yesterday, Mom texted me to say that my sister had made it home safely and to ask how close we were (since we live further west than she does). I texted that we were doing well, almost home, had had a lovely time, and that I loved her. Then my dear, sweet mother - new to the text-habit of our generation - sent me back her loving sentiments, or so she thought.
When I flipped open my cell phone, here is the message I received: "Good lord you too." My mom rang a moment later, laughing hysterically over the difference one word makes. I laughingly asked if she'd cancelled our life insurance policies she'd held for us during childhood or if we should be nervous - and apologized for surviving the drive home, of course!

Funny. I like to hear stories about the mom. :)
Awww...I've missed your blog. How have I been surviving without it? In short, I haven't =) Thanks for the smiles!
That's funny!
Congratulations on your marriage.
