Sigh.

Mom just left to fly back to Taiwan =(. Despite the slight annoyance of having her rag on my weight and general messiness, miss her. And am homesick again. I should probably complain less about my mom in my LJ, given that she is generally a very nice mom (and very funny), and I do really wish she lived around here.

Before she left we hung around Borders before heading to the airport, and I ended up getting Nonnie St. George's new book (which I didn't know was out). I think I will read that to cheer myself up.

Moms everywhere nag about something; it's in the Mother Rules. It's also (sadly) in the rules that no matter how much you promise you will not be like your mother in that regard... you kinda end up sounding like the modern echo of, well, your mother.

I read that and laughed; it didn't sound mean to me, and it didn't really sound like a complaint, more of a "even though things weren't perfect" aside. fwiw.

So true! I don't even have kids, and I still find myself saying the exact same stuff she says in the exact same way to the boy. Hee, of course that never quite tempers the annoyance when she says it to me ;).

Thanks ^_^.

Yeah... sigh. Must remind myself... just two more months, and then I get to go home.

It did! Very funny so far (the boy was staring at me because I was giggling so much).

*hugs back*

Thanks.
