First Post from Alabama: McMom and Resolutions


My first blog post…. How intimidating!

Today is my Mom’s birthday (we will call her McMom). I won’t share her age, because we Southern Ladies say it’s rude… but she’s still young! McMom is one of those people who can think about things and they happen. I’ve never known her to NOT do something that she truly thought through. She’s my hero.

A teacher by day, but a carpenter by heart. Yes, you heard me right. She works with wood… and wood loves her. She learned at the hands of her Daddy who learned at the hands of his Daddy… and has the scars to prove it (and the ER doctor knows her by name)! This woman built a TV cabinet that would make Mike Holmes proud! (Wish I had a picture… I’d totally show you!)

What I love about McMom… is that she never lets anyone tell her she can’t do anything. She always does it. She may google it, take it apart twelve times, redo half of it… but in the end… she does it.

So to add my resolution to Jeni’s…

My 2012 Resolution is to not let anyone tell me I can’t. 
Including myselph.
