They say "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Well, I must have fell head first, face first. Because of emotional state, or lack there of, I have asked my mommy dearest to write a little "special post" about Your's Truly. So here it is. The good, the bad, the ugly....the truth.

“Yours Truly-My Drama Diva”

by Mom

I’m new to all this blogging stuff and not real sure why I was asked to write it but here goes.

I know if you read this blogspot, you already know how creative and talented she is and how she can really write well, but what about some things you don’t know about her????

She came into this world 26 years ago with a head full of blonde hair and probably one of the smartest and most beautiful babies ever. Being first child, grandchild, great-grandchild, niece-diva should have been her middle name!

She was named the Queen of Bullard when she was 18 months old (thank goodness her grandfather made a large donation to the community library!)

Surprised her father and me when she informed us that baby Jesus had a big d- -k when looking at a manger scene. Imagine my fun when I had to talk to the director of the Baptist church daycare she was going about what she learned at school!

Then shortly after that, she yelled at the car in front of us “to get the f- -k out of the way!” I still don’t know where she heard that!!! Her grandmother and I about stroked out-not nice language for a diva!

She always loved dressing up with the Mexican pageant do dresses and any other girly girl outfits! Always the princess!

She was very, very shy-don’t know how many times she climbed up my leg when somebody tried talk to her. I still have scars from the climbs!

She was a great student. Teachers loved her, often wondered if she ever talked! I couldn’t believe they were talking about my child!

Screaming at me on the Galveston ferry that “mothers do not get tattoos! I will be mad at you forever!” Told her it wasn’t the first time nor would it be the last time she would be mad at me. Now she has a tattoo-go figure!

Jump ahead to high school-drill team, good grades, Queen of Applebees! Nearly killed her mother when she had to dance on a ladder on the football field or on top of the Love Shack while high kicking! Cinderella costume for Honor Society-Divadom still!

(thats her, front and center, always demanding attention...and then she crys)

Excelled in college in interior design-I think she was voted most likely to decorate her own castle!
Now she’s on her own, working hard and doing well.

What you really need to know about her is that she is a beautiful person, not only on the outside but on the inside where is counts. She is thoughtful and caring person and an extremely deep thinker. She places too much stress on herself and takes things very personally and much too seriously. She likes things in order and calm and doesn’t like change. It matters to her what others think of her and lets it matter too much! She is kind and trustworthy, has a great work ethic and extremely creative.

My hope for her is that when she has the choice to sit it out or dance, she will always choose to dance. She is not only a diva, she is my very beautiful dancer. I am so proud to be her mother; I have learned much from her but have much more to learn!

So my Drama Diva-keep dancing through life, keep your heart and mind open to new things and new opportunities and you will have a wonderful life. I hope one day you will experience all the drama I have experienced with you and your sister with your own children! What a ride it has been and we have much further to go! (You know there was much more I could have said-like crying on the rollercoaster, jumping up naked out of the water when jellyfish got you, being chased with false teeth and crying, etc, etc, etc!)

So there you have it, straight from the Moms mouth. She is wonderful, I must admit. And I love her more than anything, this is true. For all the embarrassments, the laughs, the memories, the tears on her shoulder, she has been my rock, my strength, my greatest fan. I am one lucky girl!!

P.S. She LOVES to leave me comments, so ya'll leave her a few, my dear sweet Bleaders!!!
