I died a little inside this morning when I stepped out the door to see my car covered in snow. Last week I was wearing shorts and tanktops and playing baseball barefoot in the park. I'm hoping this is just going to be one of those weird weather moments and it will pass because I got a pedicure with my three best friends on friday and if these toes are covered by socks and shoes for much longer I'm seriously going to feel like I wasted my money. I'm a student, I just can't afford to waste my money you know!
But- today is a special day, Mother's Day. My mother is my very best friend and my other half. Most women fear becoming their mother most, I would be lucky to become her. The older my brother and I get the more difficult it is to spend a day together with the entire family so we are happy just to be together.
My mother and I were playing baseball in our backyard- or rather, we played catch and then she pitched to me and I was batting. She played baseball for many years and as we pass many local ball diamonds she tells us her stories from yesteryears. She often tells me she was playing while I was an infant and would nurse me between innings. Somewhere in there I must have gotten some sort of skill, I'm hoping. Well tonight I tried my hardest to hit her with two clean line drives, but she was too quick for me.
Maybe next year.
