Mar,

this is too cute! I love it!

My mother's favorite, God rest her soul, was  "I have eyes in the back of my head".  I remember telling my teacher at school that my mother knew everything I did because she had eyes in the back of her head. LOL!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hugs,

Mar, I love it, I've read your post with smile on my face, it  sound like my mom too, her favor one is:" I brought you into this word, and I can take you out." [smiley=laugh.gif].
I'm very bless to have my mom and my mother-in-law who love me very much, as their ages they should be enjoy their retirement but instead they have to take care of me and my family.  Love you moms.

HAPPY MOTHER DAY!

[smiley=laugh.gif]  I can still hear my mom saying "if you want to cry...I'll give you something to cry about".  My sisters and I alway laugh about all the things our mom said to us...then again, I guess momma know best.  I can pretty much hear my sister telling my niece the same things...

Happy Mother's Day!!  Have a wonderful day!!
