Hubby's Day

Hubby does not enjoy my poetry.

He says he does, but I can tell he doesn't.

That's okay, though, I don't enjoy his retelling of obscure historical events, or when he waxes poetic about lyrics to nontraditional hip hop songs, but I listen anyway, sorta.

So here it is:

Ode to the Man I Love (on his birthday which is today in case you were wondering).



Enjoy.

Here ye, Here ye, friends and foes,
I'm gonna tell a bout a man I knows.

He's my babys' daddy, the man in my life,
I'd protect him in a fight with a gun or a knife.

We've been a team for many years,
We've shared so much, some joy, some tears.

But, I can't really say it was love at first glance,
Think it was more like, hey, take off your pants.

Kidding of course, it was much more than that,
For example, I liked how he looked in a hat.

And, I liked his hands, and his really cute face,
So I thought, I might like to hang out at his place.

After a bit, I knew he was for me,
but he didn't see it, so he tried to flee.

By then it was way beyond to late,
and when he moved we continued to date.

We reunited and have since never parted,
even when faced with challenges uncharted.

We had a baby, we waited awhile,
And, finally we did it, we walked down the aisle.

We had more kids, I got fat, he stayed thin,
He says he never notices my double stuffed chin.

Imperfectly matched though we are we're together,
And, I'm guessing that's how it will be till forever.

Happy birthday, Hubby.

XOXO!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Most of you (aside from my newest friends, "Hi new friends, don't leave, stay, we have fun here!" imagine me waving hysterically), are used to my standard Thursday Thank Yous/Mama Kat posts.

In an effort to not disappoint the masses (and by masses I mean the 15 or so people who read this disjointed mess of mine on a daily basis), I will continue in that tradition today.

With one minor change.

I'm gonna really mean it this week. This person honest-to-goodness-really-and-truly-no-doubt-about-it-100-percent deserves to be thanked, again, and again, and again.

So, without further ado. I'm sending this one out to someone we all know and love: Mimi!

Today is her birthday. And, I'm not gonna disclose her age, but you can imagine, if I'm 25 (and I totally am), she's what, maybe 38 (ignore what that implies about her character)?




She pretty much looks exactly like this today, minus the unnecessarily large glasses, the mini-afro, and the hideous sweater vest.



See! Still as beautiful (I'd argue even more so since there have been marked improvements in hairstyle and overall fashion sense) as ever.

Regardless of her real age (or mine for that matter), she is a timeless beauty, a diamond in the rough, a gift from above, the one human being with whom I'd struggle to have made it through so much without.

So, Mimi, Mom, thank you.

Thank you for loving me and my little band of brothers so intensely and unconditionally. Your support and devotion astound me daily, and I pray that my boys will one day feel that I was even one tenth of the mom that you are to me (and at times to them).

Since you are the only one who appreciates these, enjoy!

Thank you and your welcome. Oh, and Mama Kat (Mistress of Writer's Workshop), guess what? I made this. Boo-yah, baby!



Card Reads: (Poem on top) Roses are red, tires are black. If you weren't my mom, I'm sure I'd be wack. I wouldn't be funny, or remotely cool. I'm certain that all, I would be is a fool. I'm glad you're my mom, what more can I say? Other than have, a happy birthday! (Words on bottom) Thanks a ton for only laughing a little (after you make sure I'm okay) when I fall down, and for always laughing the hardest when I say something funny. You are my biggest fan, and everyone needs a fan (preferably not of the psychotic-wear-your-skin-'cause-it-smells-purdy variety), right?! I love you. XOXO, Dumb Mom

All gifts can be forwarded directly to Casa de Dummies where they will be thoroughly inspected for appropriateness. Thanks!
Giving away two copies of the movie Extract starring Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck. Contest ends 4/2/10.
