Question 98

What special things did you do with your mother?

I wasn't going to post today, something has happened and I'm in a very upset mood... want to know about that you can visit my blog (I'll give link after this) but I think maybe getting my mind off that stuff is what I need. I'm glad this isn't a pet question today though. (fake laugh)

Normally mother/father questions bother me.  But I spent most of the day with my mother.  And she was very nice today.  My mother and I have such and up and down relationship.  But that's a whole different thing so I shouldn't be getting into that here.

My mom and I really didn't spend much time doing "special" things when I was growing up.  My sister and I spent most of our time together doing sister things.  But a few times that I remember (my childhood is foggy and I have gaps in my memories) my sister and I used to put on little plays mostly involving me being a unicorn (HAHA) and my mother would come outside and watch our plays.  Since my mother  was sort of distant with that stuff it was nice when she'd watch and look proud of our stupid little plays.  She also always had an animal hospital for my poor stuffed dogs and cats that my brother's would rip ears, tails and eyes off.  She would pretend to rush them to the hospital (her sewing room) even making the siren sound.  Then she would bring them back after the "dr" had operated on them. 

We also played board games but that was more of a family thing then a mother and me thing. 

Now we do the mother/daughter game day.  We shop and once in awhile I will go with her on her casino trips.  I never have extra money to gamble but she usually gives me some to play, or we will play on the same slot machine... this probably doesn't sound fun but it actually is, we take turns pulling the handle and even if we win a buck we woot and holler like we've won big.  My mother can be fun and funny.  Even though there are times she gets on my nerves looking at her today and thinking back she means more to me then I really realized.  So special things sometimes are just sitting and talking and getting along... a hug when you leave... a smile when she knows exactly how I'm feeling.  Special can be anything you want it to be.
