Happy Birthday, MOM!


It is my Mom's birthday today. I am very glad she was born! This is not only because if she were never born then I would have not been born, but it also has to do with all the many ways in which she is awesome.

1. My mom would do anything for anybody. People wouldn't even have to ask her for help. She knows when people need her.
2. She is hilarious. Case in point: see picture from San Francisco above. She was very nervous about my friend and I riding on the side of the Cable Cars. We decided to take her picture while the Trolley was not moving. Guess what happened as soon as my friend was taking this picture? Yep, movement. Funny story.
3. She is one of the kindest people I know. Everybody who meets her falls in love with her and her kindness.
4. She has made me into who I am today. I am so much like her and that makes me happy. Each time I look at my hands I think of her.
5. She supports me in anything I do. She always writes nice notes about me in cards. She also listens to me and gives great advice and even loves me if I don't take the advice!

There are hundreds of other reasons but I am tired. Sorry for that!

Today there was a hilarious story from my eighth hour Health class. We are learning about Stress Management so today was a day to relax. We were doing mental imagery and "going on vacation in our heads" as I would prompt them to think of different things. You know, the classics like the beach and palm trees. Anyway, in the middle of this I hear snoring. I tried to keep my composure and keep the rest of the class relaxed when the snoring got so loud I just couldn't keep from laughing. So I did which made everybody lose focus. We didn't know who was snoring because two students were in the area where the snoring was coming from. We finally found out who it was as one of the student said: "Shut up guys!" as we were laughing at him. He then said: "This was the best Health class ever!" He also thought class was over and tried to leave with seven minutes left. It was funny to see him so disorientated. Hilarious. You may not find this funny, but it made my day.

Well, it made my day beside hanging with my friend Mel and her baby. That baby is one cute kid. I like babies. It is fun to see them grow up! It is still a bit weird to think my friends have kids. Fun though! Check our her blog on the side of my blog under Melanie and Michael.
