FBF. Great funnies. Age has not been kind to my mother. But I do have some nice memories of holidays and the wonderful things she did. She was very caring.

FBF. Lost my mother when I was 15, that was 44 years ago. From what I can remember she was a very loving person. She put her children’s needs before her own. Three weeks before she past from cancer, she talked my father out of cancelling our vacation to the mountains. She took some pain medication and made the 3 hour trip just so my sister and I would not be disappointed. Years later, when I became a nurse, I realized how much pain she must have been in, but at 15 you are only thinking about you and what you want.
Happy Mothers Day to everyone whether you have children or furbabies who are your children. :happysun

The vagina one is hilarious to me! Love it. I am always saying that to my hubby about our son…he weighed 10 lbs at birth and lets just say multiple episiotomies didn’t help much. And after countless stitches..things just aren’t the same! Sorry, TMI!
:Cukoo
FBF
And Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s out there!

My favorite thing about my Mom is her sense of humor. We are blessed that we laugh a lot together.
Hope you have a great day with your Mom!

Love this giveaway! Happy FBF!
I lost my mom last June but my brother’s and I tell each other stories about her all the time. One of th best stories was back when I was little my mom told me and my little brother that our genital area was called a “Woo woo” and I guess it didn’t matter if it was female or male, it was a woo woo nonetheless. I asked her why she called it that when I got older and she told me that she learned her lesson when I had asked her earlier that year what her boobs were called and she told me boobies and that when I got older I would have boobies too.
she said for weeks after she told me that, I went up to everyone and told them I was going to have big boobies like mommy when I got older. LOL

Love the funnies!!! FBF me..and hell yeah on the entering me in the drawing!!! Woohoooo!!
Not pleased with my mom right now..so it’ll be hard to think of something positive…but I’ll try… :scratchhead :scratchhead :scratchhead :scratchhead
Oh I have one…she always thinks she is helping….even when she isn’t!! And after both of my kids were born, she took me grocery shopping…buying us a weeks worth of groceries. That was something positive!! ( we are either getting her a computer or a new flat screen tv for mother’s day) Would love to get her a basket of flowers..but she would only kill them and why do that to the flowers??? :Cukoo

FBF…
My favorite thing about my mom has to be how close she is to my daughter. We have always been close and I have always loved her dearly but when my daughter was born and she became the best grandparent anyone could ever ask for, that love just deepened even more. I didn’t know it was possible but it did. My favorite thing about being a mom is seeing how pure and loving my daughter’s heart is and knowing I had a hand in that. :cheer

FBF, what great funnies! :lolol My fondest memories of my mom was her setting around telling storys about things her and her twin brother done when they were young. Mom’s been gone for many years now but I will never forget some of her stories.

FBF. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms.
My favorite thing about my mom is how she’s not tech savvy at all but she tries really hard to be. Just the other day she told me she was messing around on her “Spacebook” page, planting crops on Farmville. I thought that was so cute!!!
