7 Things I Forget To Tell My Mom
MothersDayGifts

I will be the first one to roll my eyes when I'm in the same room as my mom. That woman is crazy! She drives me up a wall, I cannot lie. Sometimes I just want to shrink her and put her in a closed mason jar for a few hours and then let her out when I'm ready. However, she is one hell of a mom. She isn't made of gold and she isn't made of Betty Crocker skills, but she is hardworking and she is understanding. My mother has never told me that she couldn't make something happen for me without trying first. My mom has my back and although we fight continuously, she is Wonder Woman and I can't ask for more. So here are 7 things I wish I told my mom more and maybe of you feel the same way, you should say them too..

1. You're An Awesome Mom

You rock! I know I don't give you much of my time, and I should, but don't take that as a punishment. And don't let my brat of a sister ever make you second guess your maternal skills because I think that I turned out pretty awesome and I think that is all because of you!

2. I miss you

I know I don't call you enough and I am really sorry. I know you are lonely. I should call you more, and I should tell you more, that I do miss you. When I am home I don't devote all of my time to you I know, but that's because I take you for granted, but I miss you and believe me when I say that.

3. You Do Enough

DON'T LISTEN TO TAYLOR. Oh my god mom you have done everything in your little power that you could for us. You were never dealt an easy hand but you turned it into the best hand you could give us. You said to me a few weeks ago, "Maybe I don't do enough." You do more than enough mom.

4. You're better than dad

Not to bash dad, but come on...he's a three and you're ten! You love more than he does, provide more than he does and you smile more than he does. Those things are appreciated a lot. Without you, I wouldn't have a parent to care for me.

5. Can I help you?

I should ask you if you need help more, better yet, I should just offer. I should make dinner and volunteer to clean the bath tub. I like to think that I do my best, and I do sometimes but I could do more. You did everything for me for 19 years, I could certainly do more.

6. Thank you

So thanks, mom! Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for caring about my problems and offering a solution. Thank you for making every Christmas and Birthday worth my while. Thank you for bending over backward for me every time I asked. Thank you for putting yourself last all of the time and me first.

7. I Love You

I Love you! I know I don't say that enough! There is no excuse for that. They are three simple words, I have to find the time to tell you them, I promise I will. I love you, mom.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
