My Mom’s Big Day

by Marie November 3, 2007

I wonder if any of you have a mother like mine. The kind that video taped all, I mean all, of your gymnastics meets, dance recitals, and drill team competitions. The kind that you can go to when you are sick and she will take care of you and your kids. The kind that if [...]
