The older I get, the more I realize how very much I am just like my mom. Isn’t it funny how that happens? I spent my early teenage years thinking she was totally uncool and was the master at crushing my popularity. Mom, did you really wear that sweater to pick me up from school?!

Now, I talk just like her, parent just like her and find myself using the word ‘huh’ way too often, just like her. Which drives me crazyyyyyy

I can’t even pin point when it happened, when did I become the reincarnation of my mom? Was it when I passed 25 or has it just been constantly creeping up since I was little and by the time I’m 50, you may as well call me Lori.

Since the 70s are back in a big way, I now have the pleasure of dressing just like her…well the 17 year old version of her of course. When I donned this poncho, you can bet she just loved it!

But when I sit back and think about it there’s no one else on this earth I would rather be like. My mother is kind, funny and always puts others before herself. Like mother, like daughter; I like the sound of that.
