http://curlykew.com/motherhood/spongebob-mommy-pants A twisted tale of a rural suburban mother of almost-growns Tue, 01 May 2012 13:13:30 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 http://curlykew.com/motherhood/spongebob-mommy-pants/comment-page-1#comment-213 Jen Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:44:45 +0000 http://curlykew.com/?p=233#comment-213 My mom sponges moods off me like crazy, which is why I have to be careful what I say and do around her. I'm old enough to appreciate what I can only describe as a mom that "loves the crap out of me," but it can definitely get complicated. Sometimes I'd love the chance to be totally honest without worrying how it is going to affect her. I'd like to be able to sniffle and cough without her panicking and wanting to rush me chicken noodle soup. I want the opportunity to fall flat on my face without her thinking it is a worldwide crisis. She's built so much of her life around bro and me, but more specifically me, that I have often worried about what would happen once both of us left the house. She's coping well with my move out west, but I was horrified to think about the emotional trauma that would happen once the umbilical cord was severed thousands of miles away. My bro is getting a place of his own any day now, so we'll see what happens then. And then there's my visit back home... It could get interesting. I love her, but I hope I operate at a bit lower level of spongy with my own children. It's tough to be loved - LOL!
