Tag

I've had a thought looming for a few weeks... since Julie sent me some "info about you" emails, and I've been reading others tags.
My idea involves an interesting question, then tagging others, thereby soliciting their response. They, in turn, ask a question of whomever they choose to tag.
And so on.
I'm thinking silly or sublime, your call.

Shall we make it official?
What if no one wants to play?

The rules:
After receiving your question, answer in any way you see fit.
Next think of a question (anything!) to pose to anyone you choose.
They may pass the question (after they've answered it) on to whomever they choose.
So once you've answered the question, think of another to tag friends with!

My question - Who is your idea of an Ideal Mother?
My answer: A mixture of (a laughing) Mary Poppins, Samantha Stevens, and Ms. Frizzle (from Magic School Bus).

And I tag: Julie, Melissia, and Teri!
(If you are a reader of this blog, and you are a blogger yourself, consider yourself tagged - and feel free to send your questions back here!)

Hoping someone wants to play,
Stephanie

Hmmm, that is a hard one. Maybe a combo of June Cleaver, Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart (the crafty,creative side) Jane Goodall(because I live with Monkey's ;), and Mother Theresa!

As I told you I have been thinking long and hard about this question- how very me of me. Philosophically I think the mother you are born to is your ideal for whatever it is you are here to do. I have learned so many things from my mom, even with her imperfections and annoyances. I love her and we are inextricably intertwined in a way few other relationships ever will be. I often believe your hardest relationships come to you as your children- they have to- you are not likely to walk away from a parent child relationship. If a spouse is hard to get a long with all the time- you might well leave- but not so with a child at least not for many of us. We will keep trying an trying like we would with few other people.

If I were to patchwork a mother to my idealistic perfection I would have to say I would choose Mary Poppins for her wit, Mother Theresa for her compassion, Jackie O for her impeccable style, and Emeril so the food would be good.
