Be a really great mom.

My parents were (and are) great. I had a spectacular childhood with a few bumps along the way. I am hoping to do at least as well by my kids, when I have them, as my parents did. I try to tell my folks at least once a year, how much I appreciate how they brought me up. My dad was pretty suprised the first time I really bothered to ‘splain it to him. He said something about me being the test run child, and that they were lucky I made it considering some of the adventures they dragged me through (and the gear they used to do it).
