For My Daughter

To my lovely daughter Maranda
I just have this to say
Have a very happy birthday
On this your special day


Oftimes you drive me crazy
It's like living in a zoo
You're a lazy, untidy so and so
BUT I REALLY DO LOVE YOU


Despite your found teenage-itis
Happy 15th Birthday
Lot’s of Love From Mom and Dad
























Happy Birthday even though it is on BLACK FRIDAY!

I've added what I commented in the comments, because some of my family doesn't read them. I just wanted to put it here too: Maranda really is a sweet, kind hearted, well mannered girl that wouldn't say a mean word to anyone (well except maybe her mom). She's not your typical only child - teenager, she doesn't ask for much (of course she has most things). She is always concerned about "not wanting to talk me into things" (don't worry she can't do that). She will hold doors for strangers, and I've always gotten complimented on her behavior when we were out in public or at restaurants (once she got past that "tantrum" stage). She doesn't give me too much attitude, but she has perfected the "look", and the "what?" and "I will" with just the right (or wrong) tone.

Oh, and if anyone can help me get her to clean her room, please help.....email me!!!!

  6. Happy Birthday Miranda!

    Soon that "teenagism" will be cured and mom will be remembering when.

    Unfortunitly for mom, it will seem like a blink of an eye.
