July 17, 2014- I Got It From My Momma

What traits did you get from your mother?

Physically there is not a lot I got from my mom. In fact, there are only 3 things I can think of. When my mom smiles, it's a lot of gums. The same goes for me. I also have the same hands as my mom. We both have the short, stubby fingers with large knuckles. I also have the flat, straight finger nails like she does.

There is more personality wise I got from my mom. I find I enjoy doing things for others just like she does. I tend to be fairly nurturing and take on the mom role in most situations. I always like to make sure my chicks are in a row just like she does. I am also very clean and organized like her. I like doing things around the house like cleaning and laundry. I am not as social as her. I can't strike up a conversation with anyone like she can, but I do enjoy being around people just like she does. I am also a home body like her. I prefer staying in rather than a late night out.

There are other traits I have just like my mom that are not always the most flattering. I tend to be a control freak like her. I don't like it when I have to give that up. As a result sometimes when we try and have control, it comes off as nagging. I also get a lot of my worrying from her. If someone is running late or not where they are suppose to be, we both think the worst has happened. I am also pretty emotional like my mom. We both can be watching something, look over, and we are both crying. Even when it's not sad, but happy. 

I think the most important thing I have received from my mom is that we both value our relationships. If we are a friend, we go above and beyond for them. We both think family is the most important thing. We tell people we love them, and we help when we can. I wish I had more traits like my mom because I think she is so amazing, but I happy with what I got.
