I'm Amazing!

Wait, wait! Let me explain! Cameron had her final speech to present for her speech class today. It was supposed to be an awards speech and she came to me today and asked, "who can I write an awards speech for?" "Me!" I said. Hey, I knew it would require absolutely no research and would be easy for her to write. She agreed. It was just a two minute speech so it didn't take long. See below for the content. Cameron has speech class with August and he had not read or heard her speech before class. When they came in from school this afternoon I was sitting at my desk in the other room and I heard them talking about class. Cameron was telling Jacque that August had said he teared up when she gave her speech and that when she passed by his desk he asked her for a hug. I thought that was so sweet! Leighton came barreling through the door shortly after that and they were telling him about it and Cameron told Leighton a little of her speech and he said, "yeah, mom is pretty amazing." Wasn't that so sweet! All I have to say is thanks guys, you make ME feel amazing!

The most amazing woman I know has lived in the same neighborhood her entire life. She hasn’t traveled the world or saved thousands of lives but rather given life to four very lucky people and has dedicated her life to them. The most amazing woman I know has always been on my team, to teach me, to defend me, and to encourage me. She doesn’t get paid for the hardest job in the world and has never expected a dime for all her hard work. She does the laundry, cleans the house, wakes me up for school, takes care of me when I’m sick, sees me through tough times, and can kiss me on the cheek and make a horrible day disappear. The most amazing woman I know taught me my favorite life lesson “When faced with your enemies just smile, it’ll leave them wondering what you’re up to.” The most amazing woman I know has always been my best friend, and the one person I can truly trust. The most amazing woman I know has shown me what unconditional love is like, and for that I am very thankful. Countless days go by that I don’t thank her for all she does, so today I’d like to present her with the award for the most amazing woman in the world. My friend, my mother...

Yep, Yep...me! See I told you...I'm amazing! Seriously! Don't believe me? Well, just look at the picture below as proof. I mean it just doesn't get anymore amazing than this!



Here I am in my AMAZING turquoise jumper and I was AMAZINGLY afraid of Santa. And check out my AMAZING haircut. It seems that I might have been about to give Santa a gesture that would have left him AMAZED as well! HA! Nah, I would never do that. I just love that I am a child of the sixties. We did wear some pretty crazy clothes, didn't we? I think I will dig around and find more photos from Christmases past. Why? Because it's good to laugh! Especially at yourself!

Cheers!
