Small Step or Giant Leap?

...And today it happened.

Even though i'm not married, I seem to have a mother in law. As of today, H's mom wants me to call her, well..."Mom".

I am cool with that, even though she is constantly telling me about Jesus. She is so well meanning in all of this, I have no need to be pissed. Usually, lots of God talk makes me bored and/or offended. She's actually a very nice lady.

Anyway, off to answer Email from "Mom".

"...And today it happened."

that line reminded me of The Wonder Years... there was always that narration in the background, "and then it happened..." ha ha

Congrats! on achieving "mom" status. You nearly officially have a mom you like! Hopefully H doesn't freak over this female bonding bit.

Ry's Pop inquired of me this weekend what I call my own father, probing perhaps what I would be comfortable calling him. Responding honestly I answered "Old Guy."

Just as it's difficult for the Wilcox family to find mass-produced cards that say "Happy Whateverday Pop!", instead of the traditional "Father", I do find it tedious searching for a card fitting to my own "Old Guy." Come on card industry . . . catch up with the times here!

That is very true. I used to have to make my own cards for the birthday of my own mother. It was years before the card stores made them with an amount of profanity sufficient to properly express my true feelings.

Thank goodness for internet cards.

whoa!

Actually, she lives in Philly. so we only talk thru phones or Email. So really, she likes the *idea* of me, without knowing the actual me.

So I'm either good-to-go, or setting us up for a crashing disappointment. You just never know. But for now, I do think she likes me. She wants to send us extra money without H knowing about it. Plus she wants us to go out there and visit. So I'm feeling good about it.
