Mom Moments

So I was cleaning out the fridge today and it was an archeologist's jaunt through mom's culinary pleasures over the last couple of months.

The strangest thing I found was an El Pollo Loco bag containing a bottle of soy sauce that has spilled and had covered 3 completely full spice jars of cumin, curry powder, and onion powder. In the fridge. The expiration date on the soy sauce was Feb.

This is my life.

Mom Moments

Scene: Saturday morning. Mom's bedroom. Its overcast outside. Everyone in the house is up and starting their days. Mom and Dad have made plans to run errands and wanted to leave by 9. Its 10 AM and mom is still in still curled up in bed.

Dad: (softly and cautiously) Honey... wakey wakey...
Mom: (in full voice without a hint of grogginess) WHY??!! I want to listen to the rain.

It wasn't raining.

It still isnt.

I love my mother.
