Another type of Love

My mom showed up today to plant some "Teresitas" for Skyla. My mom is doing this out of he kindness of her heart. Plants, flowers & gardening is one of my mom's & grandma's FAVORITE past time.

Before I walked outside with my mom, I was observing her from my front door. I began to feel this weird feeling. My heart was beating at a different speed. Or a different rhythm? You see, my mom is just something else. We can't always feel her closeness or love or I don't know how to explain this. But I guess seeing her out there, just tugged my heart. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT HER. What's amazing is that we don't talk or see each other as often as we should. Who's responsible for this, dunno? Every parent has their own way of showing LOVE. And I must learn to accept how my mom is.

I finally grabbed my camera and went outside. I was able to snap the pics without her noticing (Except for the last one). She was passing on some of her gardening tips and she was giving me instructions on how to water the Teresitas. The other day it was a good cloudy day here in the RGV and she took advantage by spending the entire day in therapy, aka...Gardening :)

I even got into it and grabbed "The Pala" (Shovel). I can see where this all could be relaxing and serve as a distraction from other stuff. I must buy me some gloves though. I don't think that having dirt under my nails is sexy, hehe.

And now it's raining..... thanks cutting the water bill for me :D

LOVE YA MAMI!

Warm Memories

I didn't get to finish my story yesterday. It got late and I was so tired. Yesterday was my mom-in-law's birthday and today is my dad's birthday "Ramon Bustamante." My dad is this short man but he thinks he's about 6 ft tall. So funny though. We danced (pictured above) "Las Mananitas" with our parent.

I also had some friends that were still laughing at my fall today (YOU know who you are!) My poor hunny wishes I'd more careful. Every time I think about it, I say "AY!" I can picture how I went down in slow motion. It's not the first time but I sure hope it's the last :-/ Still, that deserves an LOL.

You might think I put the same picture as yesterday, BUT it's not. I had forgotten TWO gifts. Can you figure out which ones? Again, Thank You to all who were able to attend. And for those who didn't..... Sorry, you missed out on the show, hee hee

Meet My Mom, "Irma"

My mom and I went to a baby shower on Saturday. It is always fun hanging out with family! I just wanted to share this picture of my mom & I. I love her so much, yet I don't think I show it enough. I don't visit her as much as I should :( My mom is so hilarious. As I've said before, she's always doing something to crack us up. She doesn't even have to try, she's a natural. I don't think I've mentioned the time she went to buy her 1st pair of contacts....

She went to buy them there at the mall. To make a long story short, she had the clerk there for close to or over an hour. She was trying to teach my mom how to put them on. Finally, after being there so long, the lady told my mom, good, you already learned...and my mom still had NOT learned. Pobresita my mom! She just wanted to get rid of my mommy!

I think she said that the first night trying to remove her contacts at home, she was up until 1 or 2 am! It makes me laugh just picturing her! I got a chance to see my mom attempting to put them on and taking them off during her 1st days. Boy, was that FUNNY! To take them off, she would keep poking her eye, but she would close it at the same time, so she wouldn't even get close to removing the contact!

One time she called her best friend to please go go over to her house to help her find one the contacts. She was trying to put them on, but she had lost one! Just the way she told me that she was going crazy looking for it everywhere cracked me up! She had told her friend "me tienes que ayudar!" She finally found it stuck to the wall, so she cancelled the "one eyed willy" code. LOL!
