Mum and I share the same month of June for our birthdays. We are both Cancerian Crabs. Our birthdays are only seperated by 4 days ... and thirty years. So our birth dates look like this. 22/06/84 and 26/06/54. Pretty cool I think.
Dont ask me why but people always feel that commenting about my appearance to my face isn't rude at all. Complete strangers always having the need or urge to stop what they are doing and blurt out whatever it is that has jumped into their brain the second they see me. Like I said dont ask me why?? Just the other day someone at work pulled my hair, just because they've never heard of hair extensions before. I didnt know whether to laugh, be angry, or just plain old confused. Anywho, Most of the time the comments are positive, sometimes negative, other times just plain WTH. The most common of compliments is directed at my cheekbones, which i confidently reply "I aint got nothing on my Moms, wait till you see her!" Just think of Cher and thats the kinda neighbourhood her and her cheekbones roll in.
Everyone already knows how madly in love my siblings and I feel about our parents, but just when you think you can comprehend the love we have for them times it by infinity, take it to the end of the universe and back and then we're getting somewhere.
By hook or by crook my parents have always provided for us. All 8 of us. The thought of having 8 children scares me initially, but if NZ wasnt in such an economic downward spiral I would love to give it a go ... on the condition that i could give them back if I didnt like all 8 of them. Sucker! You guys were like OMG how could she say that lol
Obviously between the 8 of us we all dont get along all the time. But Mum and Dad are always there building bridges and mediating to remind us how special we all are individually and as a family.
Here's a couple of things you may or may not know about my wonderful mother;
- She loves Wine Gums ... especially the yellow ones
- She is the proud grandmother of 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 2+ 1 mokopuna.
- She is still madly in love with my Father
- She has already won with Lotto before, but she is going to win the Jackpot!
- She has survived and overcome Breast Cancer
- She is a member of the PutiPuti KaniKani line dancing group
- She loves to exercise
- She was apart of the Maori Volcanics the same time as Billy T James was starting his career too ... Which means she is the awesomest singer ever!! Sliding Doors Gwyneth Paltrow moment much - My siblings and I may not have been here if she had continued down that path.
- She loves to travel
- She is beutiful inside and out
