This is Caitlyn - Not her highness, the royal mother
And yes, I hacked my mother's account.
I'd like to credit that to my 21st generation genius skills
But actually, it's just because her username and password were right in front of me and it was soo tempting...
Anywho...
I just wanted to tell you some things about this woman you all know as Laura...
First, she is the best mother in the world for someone like me to have. She puts up with my constant pigheaded arguing and know-it-all air, and treats me with love when I don't deserve it.
She laughs at my jokes when no one thinks they're funny and sometimes becomes just as hyper as I am, embarassing as that may be.
Her laugh is my favorite one in the world.
She eats Little Ceasers pizzas with me, and we eat the whole thing ourselves. We also eat ice cream on the way home from dance. (shhhh, don't tell the male units of mi familia)
She has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen and I've wanted to dye my hair to be just like hers ever since I can remember. (I was only deterrred when Anne of Green Gable's hair turned green...=]) When grey hairs come in she freaks a little, like most women... but I think that every grey hair only makes her more and more beautiful.
She is the most amazing cook. I am so blessed to have a mom who likes to fix dinner. Even though I complain about green chilies and enchiladas (eww) I love everything else she makes. It's all fabulous! In fact, she's spoiled me a bit, and I don't know if I'll be able to make it through college on top ramen after these years of borderline gourmet cooking.
She has a breathtaking voice, and I love it when she sings in the car, or the kitchen, or the living room. No offense to my Aunties, but I love my mom's voice the most.
She taught me almost everything I know. She rags on herself all the time about not being a good enough homeschool mom when in reality I don't think she knows just how truly spectacular she was at it. All those red marks on my papers and days at a time spent studying Wordly Wise really paid off, and are the reason I am maturing in my writing every day. And the way she taught history was phenomenal. I was never bored at home.
She fights for me, and I want to let her know that I see it, and I appreciate it, even though most of the time I don't act like it. My mom is on my side, even when I'm delusional and think other wise.
I love my mommy very very very much. I never want her to forget it, even is that means I hafta grafitti "Caitlyn loves Mommy" on the side of the warehouse building before I leave for college.
I love you!
That's all folks

Aww. So sweet. And I'm not even offended that you don't love my voice better.

I'm offended and I am not an Aunt!
No, I am not. Ha ha. I know, she sounds so sultry and beautiful, does she not? I only wish I had written "In the Shelter"----a beautiful creation.
You forgot to mention that she makes the world's best soap, she can imitate extremely well, you can just look at her when something is funny and she will tear up at the perfect moment and burst out into laughter, and she is the greatest friend one could ever imagine having. And you know I am not kidding.
And I, dear Caitlyn, would be in a good spot to have a daughter like you. My own girl, I only hope, will look on me in the same way.
and I hope you dance like a crazy woman at Ha-Penny, the last place I remember eating at in Idaho. :(
