She's like 100

Ok.. ok, she's not really 100, she's ONLY 76!! But I tell her all the time "your like 100", so I knew she'd appreciate it! I'm talking about my mom! My mom turned 76 on Tuesday, so this entry is a tribute to her! She's fu-nny!

I've been trying to think of the words to describe my mom... smart, and smart-A**, airheaded, competetive, bossy, patient, funny, athletic (i know, and she's like 100), opinionated, a survivor, loving, listener, a good friend... I mean like a really, really good friend, an amazing grandma, curious, worried, and spoiled.

Some of my favorite things about my mom are the following:

1) She text's (I know, and she's like 100). My mom texts her kids and grandkids all the time! It's the best. I love watching her text and reading (or maybe I should say interpreting) her texts too! For example:

- "hi"

- "I didn't get the C"

She's my favorite texter ever! People that are under the age of 76 and say they can't text should be ashamed!!

2) She's a crazy fiend of a game player... super competitive and ALWAYS wins.. ok, so sometimes in a friendly little game of "Hand and Foot"she "accidentally" forgets to play her foot, but remember, shes' like 100! She also plays domino's, phase 10, and I don't know what else - like 50 other card games.. I think she was quite possibly a dealer in Vegas in another life!

3) She was the most amazing mom, when I had Alex, I can remember thinking "I have no idea what I'm doing" and even when I did stuff wrong, she was so nice to me! She never once told me what to do or made me feel like I didn't know what I was doing, I think she was just so glad to have another little grandbaby all she could think about was being a good grandma!

Alex has tons of great memories too like.. Big Bear, Banana pie with foam, golfing and mini pancakes!

Happy "100" birthday Mom! I love you!
