Thanks Mom! That was fun :)
Haha that was fun. And I laughed right out loud, especially at your use of such terms as "bitchy" and "OMG".
You are so funny! I am still laughing out loud. I was so confused at first because I really got the smart genes in my family. I thought at the top when is said This is for you, Jodee that it meant it was about you being pregnant with Jodee. Took me a minute... or two! I love that you went in at 12:01 am. I should have thought about that too!
