words of wisdom?

SOMEONE once said (my mom)....

"put your big girl panties on and DEAL with it"

Dear mom, 

Does that mean my panties are BIG, as in i am FAT? or is that like big girl as in there is no more flowers and clearly printed "days of the week" on them??

SOMEONE also once said (my mom)...

"you are the princess of QUITE A LOT" (she even bought me the pillow that said it too)

Dear mom, 

does that mean i am a princess? or does it mean i am a spoiled brat with too much stuff?

SOMEONE else once said (my dad).....

"you can get by on charm for 15 minutes AFTER that YOU BETTER know something"

dear dad,

does that mean i am charming? dumb as a brick and after 15 minutes have NOTHING to offer? or were you trying to get me to study more and dig deeper?

funny the things we don't forget, funnier that we remember them so clearly.  I hope you remember SOME of the things your mom and dad said to you..... i could go on forever.  Daddyc is glad i won't ;)  

update: mom is being treated, has some fluid on her lungs, and is getting great care. i will admit 5-6 more weeks of chemo seems daunting and UN-do-able but with friends and family by her side i know mom can do this.  She misses everyone dearly and more than that misses her babies.... all FOUR of them and can't wait to tote them all around and play!   Dad is back with her, all her sisters, and we hope to bring her home safe and sound soon in this morbidly frigid weather!!!
