In eight days Mommy will be home for a visit. That's a lot of sleeps from now, so to make myself feel closer to Mommy and for her to feel closer to me, here's 13 things about my Mommy.
- She was VERY allergic to cats and rabbits till she was 19. She always loved cats, but couldn't touch them. One day she got near her friends 3 cats and her throat didn't swell up anymore.
- She got her first cat very soon after - T-Gray, the first "One Who Came Before."
- She works in Behavioral Health Care. She is a Social Worker by training and she helps lots of hospitals help sick people by teaching them how to run inpatient units.
- She travels. A Lot. An awful lot!
- She and Daddy will be married 9 years next month.
- She was adopted at 6 weeks old.
- Both her Mommy and Daddy have passed away, she was an only child.
- She is originally from the mitten state. Lions and Tigers and Pistons rule!
- Mommy loves Motown music! Trust me, when she's home it's the Temptations (not the treats!), the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye...well, you get the idea.
- She makes GREAT egg salad.
- She was a vegetarian until she was diagnosed with Diabetes 3 years ago. It's very, very hard to be Diabetic AND a vegetarian. She used to say, "I won't eat it if it had a face." She now claims to be the world's guiltiest carnivore.
- She is addicted to Diet Coke/Coke Zero and CAN tell the difference between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi.
- She loves me and my siblings and my Daddy very, very much.
Bonus "thing" - If she had it to so all over again, she would have been a vet.

the mitten state? my daddie is from the mitten state too.
Parker. YOur mommie is really wonderful. I am glad you told us these thirteen things about her. We especially like that she works in healthcare. That is a good thing.
She still has time to become a vet...
We nominated you and your blog for the thinking blog awardie. Come to our blog and see.
Have a great day!
What happened to your Mom's eyes??? Did someone steal them!?!?!
Pee Ess: Our Mom is an only child, too!
We made mommie fix the stoopid mistake... she goofed big time, that is what is not a good idea about forcing her to blogg in the nmorning when she has only had one cuppa stinky coffeeee.
We are so sorry :-(
Your Mommie sounds like a very great lady! I like her. My Mommie is a vegetarian too. I do not think your Mommie should feel guilty about not being vegetarian any more; my Grandma is diabetic, and I know you have to be very very careful with your diet.
Your Mom sounds wunnerful! Fank you fur sharing her wif us. *purr*

It's amazing how much your Mom and I have in common. Wow, I had no idea.
that is a great list! your mommy is a wonderful lady. i wish she didn't have to travel so much making you all miss her.
Mitten state? Is that where the Kittens with Mittens story took place???
I like your Mommy. She does very important work and she has a HUGE heart!!!
Your mom sounds awesome! It's too bad that she has to travel all the time. You must miss her a ton.

What is "egg-salad"?
Oh, your Momma sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing all that info.
Our Momma is allergic to us, but she says she deals with it (and her nebulizer helps as she has asthma) She buries her nose in our fur and sneezes.
