Like mother like daughter!

      As I pulled into the drive-way today, I start to sing a common tune we always heard as kids..."home again home again jiggy jig jog." Who knows what this means or where it came from but I remember my mother saying it for years as a child as we pulled into our driveway. A few days ago when I am trying to put on make-up, (the first time in weeks!) and Liv wanders in and I let her sit and play with my make-up, I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid with the signature clinique green compact.  How about watching Entertainment tonight reading a people magazine...yup that's my idea of a great night and my husband commented last time my mom visited that we both do the same thing!  Why do I bring these memories up? Perhaps it's my raging pregnancy hormones or the fact that after 28 or so years I have come to the realization that................... I am exactly like my mother.  Some women go their entire lives denying this, fighting against it, but I can happily say that I am proud to identify with her.  My mother raised 3 (at times Justin and I were HORRIBLE) kids by herself, worked full time, and went back to school.  You would think that now, as she get's older she would slow down maybe not work as much, but nope she works more than she ever has, yet seems the happiest.  I remember her getting ready to go out as a kid, and we would dance around to oldies in the living room. This also happens to be my husband's tradition every night after bath with our daughter, and there dance party brings me instantly back....and as I sit down and open a people magazine, I realize that I am exactly who I want to be...just like her :)
